Hi Ivconic,
The solution is obvious. The long range locators made in South America were constructed by South American builders who calibrated them to the local South American ground. When you build a LRL in Eastern Europe, then you must re-calibrate it to work in Eastern European ground.

What is the difference?
1. We all know the earth's magnetic field is different when moving from South America to Eastern Europe. The declination of the field is easily found in a declination table to be different in these two locations. Also the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field is also found to be different, as South America (Paraguay and southern Brazil) is closer to the earth's pole than Eastern Europe.

2. The earth's gravitational field is different when moving from South America to Eastern Europe. The small variations in the strength of the earth's gravitational field is easily found in gravitational field strength map to be different in these two locations.

3. The average daytime electrostatic field in the air is different when moving from South America to Eastern Europe. The differences are dictated by the climate, moisture, air quality, and a number of other geophysical properties that change when sampling the electric field in the air from different locations on the earth's surface. You will also notice the hours of the day when this field is at optimum levels for LRL detection is not the same in South America as for Eastern Europe.

Now, let me try to guess your reasoning why you might think these three geophysical properties are unrelated to the ability to detect long range buried treasure:
"Best" i achieved so far is locating remote AC fields with Zahori, and nothing else".
I am not surprised you only located AC fields with the Zahori. The Zahori is an electric charge detector that is also capable of locating AC fields when tuned to detect portions of alternating electric transmission.

The LRL that Esteban described works by detection non-ferrous metals from long distance using the principle of magnetic absorption, not by detecting electric charges in the air. So Esteban is talking about a completely different design than the Zahori. I would suspect Esteban's design utilizes coils to detect variations in magnetic absorption rather than an electric charge-detecting antenna as the Zahori uses. So maybe we cannot expect a Zahori to be comparable to the detector that Esteban plans to post the schematic for.

So the final question: Will Esteban's magnetic absorption LRL work in Eastern Europe?
The answer depends on several things:
1. Does Esteban's magnetic absorption detector find metals long distance in South America? If no, then it probably won't detect long distance in Eastern Europe either.
2. Does Esteban's magnetic absorption detector rely on detecting existing weak magnetic fields, or does it broadcast its own magnetic field and detect the absorption into long-time buried metals? If it has it's own transmitter, then the chances are good it will work in Eastern Europe as well as South America. But if it is a passive detector, relying on existing ambient magnetic fields, then you can be certain it will not work the same in Eastern Europe as in South America. It may not work in Eastern Europe at all, or it may work better than in South America, depending on how well it is tuned for Eastern European ambient magnetic fields that can be sensed by the detector.
3. Are there existing magnetic fields or electric fields that will interfere with the operation of the Esteban LRL detector in Eastern Europe? Remember, Esteban's detector will be calibrated in Paraguay where there is most likely less man-made interference than most of Europe. So this could be a big problem to prevent this detector from working in some locations far away from Paraguay.

Best wishes,
