Interesting photos. From what I can see, it appears hung went to the Ranger Tell website and hooked up his meter according to their instructions and took photos. Then he posted a heaping load of diatribe designed to prove that the Ranger Tell finds treasure and that Myron Evan's ECE theory could explain it. The details he gives are concerned with a lot of voltage variations and spurious voltages noted when touching keypads without pressing them, as well as differences between meters taking the measurements. I do not see any photos of his measurements that he claims he made inside the circuit board area, at "the diode which is connected to the pot".
In fact there is no place the diode is connected to a pot inside the Ranger Tell, as Carl's internal photos show. The diode is connected between an enameled coil and a variable capacitor. (Did hung really open up a Ranger Tell)?
Hung follows with his statement that he confirmed that "no perceivable differences existed" when following the Ranger Tell method of measuring between the antenna and handle instead of from the antenna to the diode inside. How convenient! Now we no longer need to perform the alleged testing that hung claims he did initially. We can switch to the Ranger Tell approved method to test this device!
Errr... wait a minute... does this smell kinda like a bait and switch trick? Why use the Ranger Tell method when hung says he got his readings from inside where the diode is? Is it possible the readings are not the same? Is it possible hung never measured anything inside the Ranger Tell?

It sure is hard to believe hung ever did any electronic testing before the weekend, considering he was not able to tell us where to connect the meter until after discovering the Ranger Tell website instructions. But putting aside the facts of whether hung ever made any previous tests or has a team capable of doing so, let's take a look at what the Ranger Tell website tells us to test:
According to Ranger Tell's pictures, a digital volt meter should be connected from the tip of the antenna to the brass rod in the base of the handle. The meter leads are left dangling in loops beneath the pistol while it is moved in an arc or pointed at objects. Of course, they say you should enter in the "gold frequency' on the calculator. This means you enter the number they specify for gold before looking to see voltage differences. From what I see in their pictures, there are several ways false signals could cause a voltage variation at the meter that have nothing to do with a target. In order to eliminate the possible voltage errors, here are some precautions that you could take to save yourself a lot of time contending with intermittent false readings:
1. Take the pistol and digital voltmeter to a large field that has no nearby power lines or other interference.
2. Make sure the field is free of targets that the Ranger Tell could find.
3. set up the Ranger Tell and meter on a cardboard box or wooden bench without metal so it is pointing into the field with no targets around.
4. Connect the meter and enter your favorite numbers on the calculator. Observe the meter while standing away from it and not touching the apparatus. When you see a constant reading, then get a friend to place a target in front of the meter using the method in step 5.
5. Tie a gold ring to a fishing line and have a friend toss it out in front of where the antenna is pointing (15 feet distance from the antenna or more). make sure the person holding the line is far away from the Ranger Tell. Drag the ring back and forth to the side of where the antenna is pointing. If you have a fishing rod, try casting it out in the path where the Ranger Tell is pointing. Try moving the ring around like a fly fisherman would so it moves around a lot in front of where the Ranger tell is pointing. Watch for changes in the volt meter while the target moves around. Be careful that neither you or your friend move around much in the vicinity of the Ranger Tell apparatus when the target is being tested.
6. Try the same fishing line experiment with several other target materials like brass, steel, coins, silver, etc.
7. Take note of any voltage variations while you move these targets in front of the Ranger Tell.
8. If you are able to see a voltage that consistently follows the movement of a gold ring at more than 15 feet distance, immediately apply to win Carl's $25,000 prize and prove everyone wrong who says the Ranger Tell can't locate gold at more than 15 feet distance. You can use the meter connected to the Ranger Tell to indicate when you have correctly located Carl's hidden gold bar, and then cruise home with your $25,000!
Why take these precautions when testing? Because there are many reasons you will get a voltage reading that have nothing to do with the presence of treasure if you follow the instructions given by Ranger Tell. Any real EE can tell you about it. The method I suggested above removes most of the ways you will get voltage readings not related to a treasure in the sights of a Ranger Tell.
But what about hung's claim that he took readings inside the Ranger Tell? Wouldn't he know there is no pot connected to the diode if he opened the enclosure? And why did we need to wait till he located the Ranger Tell website before he would tell us where we can connect a meter to see a reading? Was he lying to us? Perhaps some of the Ranger Tell owners will open their Ranger Tell and compare what they read between the diode and antenna to the readings when using the website method. Then we will see real factual results of the earlier alleged test hung claims he made.
It appears no real EE paid much attention to this test report based on the feedback. Is this another one of hung's attempts to drag electronic testing methods into the dark ages? Or is this just another of hung's operations to try to promote the crackpot theories of Myron Evans? Why are we hearing about ECE theory? Hasn't Myron Evans made a fool of himself by using erroneous math with fatal errors to prove his crackpot theories? Would any real physicist believe his BS when it doesn't work in practice and the math doesn't add up either?
The bad part of this exercise is we had to listen to more rubbish theories and speculations of someone who does not understand electronics or basic physics. The good part is hung finally experimented with a meter in his hands. Do you think he maybe missed some things that he would have known better if he had an understanding of electronics?
