Default BIONIC ALPHA

OKM, is a reputable manufacturer of geophysical instruments. Does their entry into the Long Range Locator market add scientific credibibility to the LRL/ Remote sensing discrimination concept? Dell

'Reputable' and 'credibility' are not the best terms to describe them.
They are being charged and sued by Mineoro for trying to copy their trademark names, products and concepts.
Besides that, mineorogreece took them to court sometime ago for a product which did not work as advertised. He got his money back.
How's that for a start?

Interesting! I would like to learn more. Did Mineoro, win their law suite? Does the Bionic Alpha, actually locate Gold, Silver, or Diamonds and classify them. Thanks for the reply. Dell

Dell, I don't know how the Mineoro's case against OKM is going.
But I think if OKM tried desperately to copy Mineoro's concepts , that's because they know it works.
Notice that I said 'TRIED'. As I said earlier, too much factors involved simply don't allow cloning.

One thing I can assure you. AFAIK there's no other people in the world as Damasio and Alonso in terms of creative genius. You don't imagine the advanced knowledge and capacity of these two men.
If you ever come to Garopaba, you will meet Damasio. I bet you will be impressed after a conversation with him.

Since Mineoro has no patents on their products and concepts, there is nothing to stop people from copying them. If Mineoro has sued OKM for this, it is a baseless lawsuit.

I tend to agree about OKM's reputation... I've heard a lot of complaints about them, at least on the forums. Is that the company that advertised a device as being a GPR, when it was really a magnetometer? Now that's something you can get sued over.

Hung, I am impressed with talent, intelligence, and results. I am definitely not impressed by words, technicalities, appearances, or pretense. I don't think I will be traveling anywhere to try to meet someone I might be impressed with.

Years ago when Mineoro, started advertising their product in the US, I sent a letter, and two e-mails stating I would be interested in being a US representative, IF the product worked as they claimed. There was never a reply. I asked a friend of a friend traveling to Brasil, to visit their addressed place of business. It was a residence. He reported, the lady who answered the door said the owner was in the jungle with a client, and wouldn't be back for a couple of days.

Several years later Mineoro, announced that Claude Cochran,
a not very ethical MFD/LRL salseman, was their US Distributor. There were a lot of fanf are publicity photo's showing Cochran, using the Mineoro, then locating and digging up a piece of Jewelry.

Cochran apparently sold a number of the Mineoro, products. Two, people that I know. Complaints that the Mineoro's, Cochran, sold, "did not work," started showing up on the internet, and people were wanting their money back.

Cochran, posted a reply on the internet stating that he was conned by the owners of Mineoro, in Brasil, into thinking he had found the jewelry on his own and into believing the product really worked. He claimed the jewelry, although valuable had been pre-planted and aged.

Of course, Cochran's story cannot be accepted as a credible account, but the demand of at least two of his Mineoro, customers in the US to get their money back is real.

I have already acknowledged that the Mineoro, I tested in Central Florida did indeed work, but was subject to the same limitations as every other MFD/LRL on, and off the market I have field tested. I will be happy to offer an LRL comparison result to the Mineoro, on the Mineoro thread if you are interested?

The Florida owner of the Mineoro, I tested witnessed and experienced the comparison results for himself first hand, and now feels the Mineoro advertising is over exaggerated and he fell for it. It is posted for sale on this website and the purchaser is hopeful to get at least half of his money back where it can be applied to a more useful purpose to help pay his recent hospital bills. Perhaps the nice people at Mineoro, would be willing to give him a full refund, less shipping & US taxes, of course.

It is my personal opinion, based on my own field experience that the value of
the technology claims by the manufacturers of Mineoro, is being overrated for marketing purposes. The scientific words and graphics are impressive to the novice, but comparative results, with less expensive products is not impressive. Dell

No - it's the usual LRL non-working rubblish.

Do not be fooled by so-called positive results obtained by the dowsing fratenity either. For example, see some more of Dell's unscientific rhetoric below:

As you see, the "positive" results were compared to "map dowsed locations" for confirmation. You have to be completely balmy to believe this nonsense.

Did I fail to mention that the results were compared with the suddenly declared un-scientific, Ground Penetrating Radar? (Zond 12-c GPR, Radar Systems, Inc) Nope! It's there.

I recognize your ignorance. The OKM Rover C operates on scientific accepted E/M principles.

The Alpha, bionic is an unknown factor.

Chloe, you will need to take your questions else where for legitimate answers. There appears to be no intelligent life residing here. Dell

Probably not. I'm in the process of testing another "ionic" detector, and so far it has all the characteristics of a classic LRL fraud. Besides that, the claimed principles of ionic gold detection are nonsense.

If you still want to consider buying one, I strongly suggest asking the company for references... that is, other people who have bought one. People with real phone numbers and real addresses. Call them and talk to them, ask them what they've found.

I've yet to run across anyone who has actually bought a Bionic locator, so if you would like to be the guinea pig then be my guest!

- Carl

Oh Really! And where have I ever claimed the Frequency Discriminators, and LRL, I build detect Gold Ions ? Dell

Hi chloe,

Thank you for the feedback. Do you have any further information on your firsthand experiences with "those dowsing instruments"?

yup.i use L-rods and pendulum.their was another thunting team who hires me to locate their treasures.and my dowsing cross near the mango tree and i hold them that this is it,this is the exact location it only measures around 15 feet.so they dug up they even reach 30+.sad to say they found no treasure.they got upset on me.and i heard they hire another detectorist they use a GPR.and they found what they've looking for at 13+feet(giveaways) depth and 6 meters away from mango tree.and my current thunting leader also lost millions of pesos to with the used of LrL,he even used UAR(universal anderson rod) and vernell brand(no offend to the manufacturer,i only express the truth).and my other members want to buy this bionic 01 as a sort of contribution but told i him that its only an LRL but he insist so i post my message here inorder for him to see the feedbacks.thunting in philippines is different from others,some treasures located at 100+feet.others are lucky they found treasure with the use of dowsing supported by treasure signs and live witness,only small percentage maybe 8% out of 100% which means pure luck.

Thanks chloe. It's good to see some feedback here that reflects the reality of LRLs and dowsing. Most dowsers only seem to be able to recall positive experiences, and conveniently forget about the failures. This sort of selective memory is common where pseudoscience is concerned.
Thanks again, and please continue to frequent this forum. Your first-hand knowledge is welcome.

Don't be concerned about upsetting the manufacturers of LRLs and dowsing equipment. We do it all the time here.

He,he,he,.. You are my favorite skeptic Qiaozhi. Do you know why? Because you are a true 'pseudofreak'. You like to play deaf and blind.
Did you miss this from 'LRL post your finds'? Hmm.. let me guess..
