ionic metal detector

[shila]

Kindly im looking for some information about IONIC METAL DETECTOR.
Is it really true or something else?
Is it possible to use it as a tresure finder?

Well, that's HIS opinion...

I think however that Dell Winder's report in his site is much more productive.. Alhtough the humidity rate where he lives is high.

I am a Mineoro PDC 210 happy user. There's no magic and no 'out of the box' ready long range detector. It requires experience, practive and skills developed along the way. But it sure works.
Cheers.

Regardless of whether the Mineoro works or not, or how it claims to work, here is the problem with "ionic detection".

Take a battery-operated smoke detector outside. It will serve as an ionic detector. Have a friend stand 25 meters away. While you hold the smoke detector, have him light a match. See if the smoke detector can detect the smoke given off by the match. Try it from 10 meters. 5 meters. 1 meter. Any luck?

Now have your friend hold a gold coin in the air, and see if the smoke detector can detect the smoke given off by the coin. Eh? Gold coins don't give off smoke? Neither do they produce ions.

That is why ionic detection can not work. IF the Mineoro detectors Really Work, they do not detect ions.

Yes. Ionic detection works and the Mineoro detectors do detect the gold ions.
All matter degrades with time and releases ions as they do.

Ions are modified atoms. When the atom loses electrons or gains electrons in this process of electron exchange, it is said to be IONIZED. For ionization to take place, there must be a transfer of energy which results in a change in the internal energy of the atom. Earth acts like this. An atom having more than its normal amount of electrons acquires a negative charge, and is called a NEGATIVE ION. The atom that gives up some of its normal electrons is left with less negative charges than positive charges and is called a POSITIVE ION.

The static electricity acts as a 'vehicle' transporting the ions in a elipse shape field and the detector captures the signal.

This explanation is for all the others who don't know how it works. You have been given enough info about it and still seem to not comprehend it.

I'm a one type of person who does not try to convince people of the truth.They think and act at their will.

hung
what is the polarity of the ions that release from the treasure; negative or positive?

[Esteban]

Negotiate the problem:

Maybe is very difficult to demonstrate the ionic detection. But I'm SURE the detection occurs via difference of micro or milivolts between the antenna and the long time buried conductive metal. This long time buried conductive metal affects the soil and changes his natural potential, but advise all you this:atmospheric presure and humidity causes influences. When atmospheric presure is more low, detection is better. My only problem is this: how I can do for to shield of high hot temperature here!!! This causes deviation in the semiconductor and can't adjust properly the microvoltmeter (not the same microvoltmeter on workbench than microvoltmeter outdoor). The only way I found (myself, I don't know if others discover the same) is encapsulate the semiconductor in oil. I make some experiments and is very effective as hot protection. Another important problem is the vecinity of electric power lines.

HOWTO Build Your Own Long Range Locator

The operating principle of LRLs is not immediately obvious if viewed from the perspective of accepted physics. First hand examination of these devices will reveal an apparently simplistic construction that obscures the complex subtlety of their design.

Two types are described here. The first is similar to the Ranger-Tell Examiner, and the other is an advanced electronic device that operates on the same underlying principle as the Mineoro detectors.

For example, the Ranger-Tell Examiner may appear at first sight to contain just a handful of components that seem loosely connected in some arbitrary fashion. This conclusion is far from the truth, as will be explained fully in the following analysis.

One of the most confusing aspects of the Examiner design is the enameled wire that protrudes through the case and terminates just below the calculator housing without any apparent connection. This type of connection can be explained by reference to the work carried out by Zaev, Avramenko and Lisin on displacement current. According to the authors – "The measurement of the polarisation current in matter can clean up the long-standing dispute about the nature of dielectric permeability of metals, and also make possible the transmission of energy along an isolated conductor without a galvanically closed current circuit. Nicholai Tesla demonstrated this on 1st February 1892 in London but the description of the method applied by him for such a transmission line has not been preserved."

A simple circuit (known as Avramenko’s fork) can be used to demonstrate this method of energy transmission.

http://thunting.com/geotech/forums/a...tachmentid=411

Note that there is no connection between the load and a common terminal, such as ground. The load is quite simply isolated from ground, but it still receives power.

This type of circuit is not subject to Kirchoff’s current and voltage laws, and the output current measured in the load is not appreciatively affected by inserting a capacitor of 0.1uF in the line. This is the underlying principle of power derivation within the Examiner LRL, and the reason why the device needs no battery supply other than that provided by the calculator. Power to the circuit (a modified form of Avramenko’s fork) is provided directly by the calculator allowing precise tuning by the operator.

Although the original circuit contained two diodes, the version in the Examiner makes use of resonance techniques and longitudinal wave coupling to boost the energy to a level necessary for long range detection. The human component is also an essential part of the design. Just as a tuning fork (or in this case Avramenko’s fork) has natural frequencies for sound, the planet Earth has natural frequencies, called Schumann resonances, and the human brain has natural frequencies for electromagnetic radiation. It is known that that the Earth’s Schumann resonances are "in tune" with the human brain’s alpha and theta states. But since the Schumann resonance is very low, at about 7.5Hz, the frequencies programmed via the calculator must be down-converted and fine-tuned for effective long-range location to take place. In addition, the Schumann resonance can fluctuate by + or – 0.5Hz depending on the properties of the Earth’s electromagnetic cavity.

The natural frequencies of the human brain are:

• • Beta waves (14 to 30Hz)
  • Alpha waves (8 to 13Hz)
  • Theta waves (4 to 7 Hz)
  • Delta waves (1 to 3Hz)

This explains the inclusion of adjustable elements in the fork / down-converter circuit.

Although the underlying operating principle is complex and difficult to explain, the demonstrable success of these devices has been shown on a number of occasions. Unfortunately LRLs rarely work out-of-the-box, and may need to become acclimatised to their owner over a period of time. Perseverance is the key to successful hunting with an LRL.

Now – how to build your own:

Any battery powered calculator can theoretically be used as the high frequency programmable source. In fact, the simple cheap makes usually work best, as these all tend to use the same type of calculator chip.

1. Construct the primary "coil" for the down-converter that provides coupling between the calculator chip and the modified fork circuit. This element is not as critical as the LRL manufacturers would have you believe, and constructing this element according to the figure below will ensure success.
   
   http://thunting.com/geotech/forums/a...tachmentid=408
   
   The primary serpentine "coil" is 22.5mm x 10mm, and requires a coil diameter of between 0.5 and 0.6mm.
2. The telescopic aerial is a standard part, as its purpose is to couple the human operator to the Earth’s Schumann resonance.
3. The modified fork circuit is identical to that shown below:
   
   http://thunting.com/geotech/forums/a...tachmentid=409
4. That’s it! Simple really. There is no critical alignment required, except for the connection between the primary "coil" and the calculator. It is important that the end of the wire should protrude through the case, and terminate just below the calculator chip. In most calculators this chip is located near to the center of the unit.

Advanced LRL Detector Based On The Ionic Detection Concept

This advanced version is electronically-based and uses the so-called ionic-electrostatic phenomenon to provide long range directional detection of metal objects.

The full circuit details are not provided here, as the unit is still under heavy development. However, the block diagram of this unit is shown below:

http://thunting.com/geotech/forums/a...tachmentid=410

The IEP Biotronic System (codenamed Garreutto) consists of the following building blocks: Target Height Identification System, Identification Stabilizer, Amplifier, and Sample Chamber Amplifier Module.

A sample of the target metal must be placed in the substance chamber of the SCAM, where it undergoes a process of automatic calibration. The detector uses a physical phenomenon known as Ionic-Electrostatic B.S. to detect long-range targets. Although this unit is still experimental, it has been characterized as having a maximum range of 500m and depth of 50m, yet it only weighs 1kg including batteries.

Dear Hung,

Pleade send me your e-mail
I will be thankful if you explain for me your experience about PDC210
Im going to buy this.

Hi.I see that In this forum there are two groups of members or readers.Those who believe at LRL and the other who dont believe. I am in the middle but i would like to be in the first group. Carl gives a lot of money to anyone with LRL or Mineoro who will find gold at a place that will indicate this but no response.WHY? I never tried a LRL or Mineoro so does anyone can tell me about the sensitivity to a gold coin and to a gold box as a soda can (330 ml)? Hung says "I am a Mineoro PDC 210 happy user. There's no magic and no 'out of the box' ready long range detector. It requires experience, practive and skills developed along the way ". Mineoro is an electronic ionic detector, so why requiring experience and practice?

Does MineoroGreece who read this forum can give me a mineoro for test and if pass the test i will buy the detector and i will write at forum to close this subject?

some of the links not working.

thank you for your Benefit information.

[Qiaozhi]

OK - there is some confusion here.
The only complex LRL you can practically build yourself is the type similar to the Ranger-Tell Examiner. See this link:
http://www.thunting.com/cgi-bin/geot...iner/index.dat
There is some dispute over the operation of these devices, so it make sense to build one yourself before parting with a lot of money. Description one in my last post is an attempt to explain the underlying principles behind this type of device. The construction is very simple, as can be seen from Carl's report in the above link.
The second design is extremely complicated and not suitable for home construction. Anyway, it's still under development. The Sample Chamber Amplifier Module (SCAM) is the most tricky part of the design to construct and calibrate. The Ionic-Electrostatic Phenonemon Biotronic System is an advancement on the standard ionic versions and the theory is still under intense study. The I.E.P. - B.S. system achieves very close coupling between the operator and the natural Schumann resonances of the earth. This is because the Biotronic-System (B.S.) calibrates not only the target sample, but also the operator, bringing the biological and electronic systems into alignment.
If you do build the Ranger-Tell Examiner lookalike, then please let us all know the results.

This explanation is for all the others who don't know how it works. You have been given enough info about it and still seem to not comprehend it.

The explanation has too many gaping holes.

I'll ask again... is the a simple experiment I can do, which will demonstrate that gold produces ions?

- Carl

[Qiaozhi]

I agree with Carl - the description of operation for the ionic detector on the Mineoro website is incorrect. This is not the way that ionic-electrostatic detection works. Whoever wrote that information does not understand the basic underlying principles used in these detectors. The correct description for this phenomenon is "continually replenished alternating potential", or C.R.A.P. as it is known in the scientific community. This C.R.A.P. is expelled by objects that have been buried for a long time, and is continually replenished by the electrostatic field generated by the earth's rotation. Mineoro detectors capture this C.R.A.P. as it moves through space and compares its polarization to the sample contained in the Sample Chamber Amplifier Module. When the detected C.R.A.P. is mixed within the Biotronic System (using special modulation techniques) it is possible to discriminate between the different types of C.R.A.P. and output a signal accordingly.
Someone should really contact Mineoro and request that they update their website with the correct information.

[Esteban]

As I said: A microvoltmeter in association with a impulse stretcher and other electronics detects (in my case) 80 m for regular size item and 50 meter a coin from the detector. This micro or milivolts (potential) for small targets I post here many times (remember?) is the theme. For treasures more high voltage. Iron enclosure nullify the potential of noble metals.

I really wouldn't waste my money buying a commercial LRL. Internally they are very simple in construction. If you want to decide for yourself whether these devices are bogus or not, then go and build your own. If you're looking for "step-by-step" detailed instructions, then I could probably put some together and post the information on this forum.

LRLs are not for everyone, but they work best for people who fit this quote:
