Thanks, J_P, you are doing us all (and the world) a great service.

Hi Theseus,
I will put your requst in the repository of tests to make in the field.

I have seen a video of this test done on the Rangertell site some years ago, where the Examiner was clamped to the end of a metal pipe about 6 feet long that was held by an operator. The video showe the Examiner pointing to treasure as it was moved past the target. We can repeat that test as well as some others. One item of interest is I thought the operator needed to be holding the handle with his right hand in order to complete a capacitive coupling to ground. Maybe the clamped pipe acts as a conductor to the operator's right hand to keep this circuit alive. I will have to check that video again to see the details of how the pipe is connected at the ends and to see which hand(s) the operator is holding the pipe.

I have some very accurate instruments that can be used to check the leveling of the rangertell with the horizon, but it may be easier to calibrate a small non-metallic level bubble on top that an observer can watch to warn the operator if he is holding the Examiner tilted to one side or another.

I believe the Examiner is supposed to swing at a very slight incline upward against the force of gravity when passing a target. I'm not sure of this, but I will do some more reading to find out. This could make a more definite test if we can have the Examiner tilted down a few degrees to the front.

Best wishes,
