Hi JP,
here is Ivconic report on result , with which I totally agree:
"
"Crack"hori....
Regarding to previous posts here on Zahori subject,also on Robert's,mine and
somebody's elses doubts, i decided to build it and test it. Although,i do not
beleive in such apparatus like Zahori,Mineoro etc. I simply could not continue
to talk here,maybe argue with some people here, without any practical experience
on that subject.So it is quite normal first to build it and test it and than to
switch on retorics. So, here is some of my notes on this Zahori subject:
First of all,i did'nt like idea on using 6x1.5v batt.'s at all. I changed that part
of schematic as follows on posted picture bellow. I respected Esteban's opinion
on not to use voltage regulators of 78xx type. Why Zahori refuses to act normal
when operating on that kind of power supply, i realy don't know, i never tested it
anyway.But using some op-amp to generate symetrical power supply from one 9V batt.
is more than good solution, it showed in many designs so far. So this supposed to be
only evasion from original schematic posted here.
So when i finished, packed it in a suitable box.On the front panel there are 3
potentiometers: "volume","sens" and "freq." As well as 2 operational switches and one
ON/OFF switch. I omited VU scale,respecting Esteban's hint too.
When switched ON, you can hear sound,loud and clear.When adjusting those pots. a
lot of strange sounds came out of apparatus.In some positions of pots. you can
acquire apparatus to stop "yelling". On the very edge of "crack and click" from the
speaker, when turning around,with antena pointing in some power source there is a
noticeable rising in tone and much louder "click" become "beep" and even "bleeep".
So there some "detection" IS going on for sure! When sight it to TV set,is detecting
it very noticeable even from the 6 meters distance!!!
Noticed even,when TV set is switched OFF but remain plugged in the wall socket, is still
detectable easy! But when tv is unplugged from wall socket, than no detection at all!
Same situation with all electronic apparatus in my house.
Step by step i have been tested and checked every situation and condition available on this
subject. I spent 3 days doing this. So now i am much,much more experienced when talking
on Zahori stuff. Of course, i did not have possibility to check it on some burried
treasure, 'cose still do not have any one around my house, but also checked it on my
test field in the backyard of my home.
NONE of the items in my test field( over 200 burried items,various depths,various
materials,various sizes and various time in gnd.-from 1 to 10 years as burried)
WAS DETECTED with this Zahori !!! Neither one detected item!!!
The very same situation and results as with my ionic detector!
I also noticed one very important thing! AC power sources and lines are very easy
detectable with Zahori.But DC power sources and lines are not, almost at all!
I also went outdoor near high voltage power line(10kV). Zahori detected it from the
80 meters distance, loud and clear !!! Also went deep in the mountain, far away from
any city noise and hum. Zahori remained silenced in 99%. On a few spots it produced
some very weak "click's", why ? I do not know, but i doubt that there is some treasure
in the ground there.
After all, what to say...? Now i am even more awared and sure that this kind of apparatus
are simply not suitable for any prospecting and relic/treasure hunting at all!
I knew that before, but wanted to make final step and build it, not just to rely my
claims on previous knowledge,science backuped facts and common sence.
The very same thing i commend to the others here.Just stop for a while with retorics.
Spend a few days,build it and test it.After that you gonna have your own experience.
Zahori is not non working joke.No, Zahori is working for real.It is detecting for real
AC sources on very respectable distances, depending of power and freq. of that source.
But it is not suitable for porspecting and as it is, this forum is just not the place
for this kind of apparatus at all. Only if somebody convince me here, that burried
treasure can produce AC charge...
Respecting the "ground battery" phenomena explained in some posts here, i think that it
has nothing related with zahori subject at all.
Of course, one more time, i would stay reserved off claiming things i never experienced
only focused on things i have been so far.
I had one mineoro on testing few months ago.The simillar behavior occured whit AC too.
I would say nothing much more on that subject due to avoiding any further argue here.

So are you still convinced that it works ?
BS.
Best regards,
