I found out that Rangertell provides a video with this covered in detail. Since I don’t offer a movie, the link to the video which I think it’s worth watching is here.

The page buildup is slow but it’s worth it.
I tried that kind of test but could not replictate it exactly. Maybe for two different things. First the ICEL multimeter is very sensitive and does not go to zero and ‘stays there’. It varies a bit to 1. The multimeter on video has 3 digits only and apparently less sensitive, is able to hold to zero. Second, I did not attach the probes, rather held it touching both antenna and handle. This way I locked the examiner in my hands which did not allow it to swing in the natural way. What I did was turning the unit in a 360 degrees manually. Despite of that, I know 2 long time gold deposits confirmed by the Mineoro PDC210 and
by documentation. When I pointed the examiner’s antenna to those directions I got slight increasing in peaks in the ICEL. Going from 1 to 2 with a rapid 3 dsiplay, then going back to 2.
In sum, there’s no doubt that AC variances can be measured in the Examiner.
Although diminute and minimum (that’s why a sensitive multimeter is required), they are clearly perceivable and I believe any Examiner user will corroborate that. No tricky positionings, places, meditiation or ESP is required. Just a good measuring device and some patience.
It will be interesting tough, expecting reports of different users regarding voltage values. I bet this will vary dramatically.
This concludes the AC part.
