Hi Ivconic,
I believe there are no ion clouds to be detected that will indicate the location of buried metal. I believe in what scientists have measured, not what pseudo-scientists claim without proof. I believe you have correctly concluded that something must be in the soil.
Scientists have measured the ion anomalies in the soil that rise in a column above buried metals. In fact, there is a multimillion dollar industry that surveys the soil at gold mines and copper mines to see where the strong concentrations of metal ions are. They can then pinpoint the ore deposits that lead to the recovery of tons of gold and copper as well as other metals.
This same column of ions ceases to exist when it migrates to within 10-30 cm of the surface. At this point the ions become bound with other salts near the surface of the soil and cease to be ions. In the case of gold, it usually becomes a minute fragment of metallic gold, or possibly a telluride, or other ore compound. But never a free gold ion that becomes airborne. This is the reason it is not possible to detect gold ions in the air. Also, if gold ions did somehow get into the air, the wind would quickly blow them away from the location of the treasure.
The anomaly that can be measured is the ion column, sometimes called halo. What changes in this column of soil is it has higher conductivity than the surrounding soil. It also is a volume of soil that is acting like a battery. The gold ions are mingling with other ions derived from chemical salts in the soil and sulfur complexes, etc. It is literally a ground battery operating in the midst of some varying telluric currents.
In addition, any chemical and electrical activities caused by this halo will influence the earth's magnetic field to a lesser extent. But the most important effect used by most LRL experimenters is the voltage gradient in the air above the halo. This voltage gradient is about 300v/meter of altitude at the surface of the earth. It is driven by the slow leakage of current between the earth and the ionosphere, much like a capacitor has a slow leakage across the dielectric. In this case, the earth is the negative plate, the atmosphere is the dielectric, and the upper ionosphere is the positive plate that collects positive charge from the sun in the form of x-rays mostly. The ionosphere collects enough charge to cause an average total leakage current of 2000 amps across the atmosphere from the earth.
If the earth were a uniform sphere, with all soil having the same conductivity, then we would have a very uniform flow of current on every square centimeter of the earth. But the soil is not uniform. Some soils are more conductive than others, and the current favours the conductive soils. You can expect to find a higher leakage of current from the surface in places where the ground is more conductive, and at the same time you will find the voltage gradient in the air above is much less at this location.
The prominent theory is that the halo area is highly conductive compared to the neighboring soil. Therefore it focuses a lot of atmospheric current leaking directly into the halo cylinder, where it is distributed out the sides of this cylinder into the non-halo soil and mingles with the telluric currents.
Think about the implications: If the soil in the halo anomaly is 10 times more conductive than the surrounding soil, it should have a good amount of current flowing into it from the sky compared to neighboring soil. This is what stimulates magnetic field anomalies... the concentrated atmospheric current flow is inducing a field.
Also, think of the voltage gradient... it is as if someone planted a lightning rod above the buried metal, You will see constant voltage gradients all around until you look the direction of the treasure --- then it drops severely.
This is the basis for long range locating. According to Esteban and others, the signal that can be detected is very small, requiring very sensitive instruments to find it. This anomaly is further complicated by all manner of noise from power lines and radio broadcasts, as well as natural noise from the atmosphere and earth. The only question is what kind of circuit to build to detect these anomalies. According to Esteban, it is not easy, but after a lot of experimenting, he says he found success.
