Default AGR frequencies

The receiver that Accurate Locators sells has a formula to calculate the frequency. Their info says that radio stations send out waves that hit the target and combine with the element's resonant frequency.

AM Radio station frequency in KHz times 0.01754 (for gold) equals the receiver frequency in KHz.

So I decided to see if a frequency generator and L-rod could get a discriminated signal line to the target by using this receiver frequency calculated to a nearby radio station. Unfortunately the strongest station is only 5KW. The jury is still out on this one. The weather here has finally got above zero F wind chill, but only +2F wind chill. Anyway I still go out and practice a few times a day. Today I was working with a calculated frequency and was able to locate the target maybe half the time. No doubt the cold weather has some effect on my locating, so I don't really know if this system is reliable. I have to believe there is something to this. I guess the big question is how well does it work on small targets. Their info says it's for large deposits from 100 feet away. That's barely considered long range.
