Test area will work good to see if LRL can work.

Hi,
I still think it's not a test garden...
yes, of course you can use for tests, but everytime your conditions change, your target change etc etc.
Not so reliable as a real "test garden"... anyway...
yes if an LRL works detecting ancient metals there it works also for me.
Questions about method:
But how do you pinpoint target ? Often pinpointing with pistols is not so reliable... so the LRL could sound for other reasons than a target and then you'll use MD and find e.g. a button with a metal detector thinking that the button was the cause of LRL-beeps !
Self-convincements due to bad test procedure. And if there are other targets not revealed by LRL ?... you walk over and away from them cause you don't know they are under your feet if don't use the MD there...
At the end this test couldn't prove anything if you don't scan ALL the area you test the LRL with a conventional MD (like I have done).
I've checked about 20x20meters small area that way, that already I know was good soil, first using the LRL having no sound at all, then using metal detector... finding few targets made of ancient metals, that also showed halo.
I was lucky cause I had no sound at all from zahori there... cause otherwise I've starting thinking there was some connection between ancient targets recovered and sound in zahori. There wasn't so I'm sure it doesn't work for detect metals.
But think at an "erratic untunable beep generator" used on a large battlefield: do you think is reliable testing that way ? Any beep will make you belive it detected a target... then you'll switch on MD and search ... an if you find something you could belive there is a relationship between the two facts.
I think happens very often e.g. when some guy report here that use LRL to find "hot zones", then switch on MD and start find/recover stuff...
that's so not cause LRL detects a "hot zone"... but cause many ancient places on this planet are so full of stuff that you have just to switch on your MD... start sweeping... and sooner or later you'll find something ancient there!
Best regards,
Max
