X-RAY This could be the making of a LRL unit.
The plus is you can see what in the ground.

It might work if you can figure out how to solve a couple of problems with using X-rays. You can find a discussion on X-rays for treasure hunting here: http://thunting.com/geotech/forums/s...ad.php?t=12641

Few problems? How about the fact that x-rays will fry your cells and cause some nasty problems physically.

Hallo to everybody!
Have a look at this one.

My self I think this thing can find treasure as well.
Well at least when treasure is hidden inside walls.
Mind you that walls can give you treasure much easier than other places since people used them from ancient times up to now.
This is where I had some luck myself sometime ago.
If anyone from States can comunicate whith that company I would be gratefull if he can let me know as well if they are selling their camera well at least over there.

HE could also try with gamma-rays... just to accelrate the process!

I spoke to the Director of Homeland Security at at Physical Optics Corporation to find out the details about the Lexid X-ray technology, and followed up with an email. What he said is it currently costs about a half million dollars, but the price may come down when they are done with development and are ready to start commercial production.

He was not permitted to say exactly how well these perform because of contract restrictions with the US government. What he did describe is a machine that can see several inches below the soil at 9-feet distance.

Here is some of what he sent to reply to an email I sent 11 Feb. 2008:
Our LEXID technology is currently being developed and is approximately 12-18 months away from being available to the commercial markets. However, I can tell you that, when developed, our device will be capable of meeting your construction needs to locate steel rebars in concrete and to detect pipes, etc buried under several inches of soil.

We are developing the device for the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security and, as such, the device will become ITAR process dependent. In the future, as we are able to demonstrate our technology to both commercial and international customers, POC will make an announcement on our corporate website <www.poc.com>. Again, thank you for you continued interest in our LEXID technology.


When He told me the price would be a half million, I figured I could get better performance from a $1200 metal detector, or maybe even a $200 metal detector.

If this machine is capable of better performance than a few inches deep at 9 feet, then the deeper version will probably be reserved for the military, and we will see only the weak version.

Thank you J Player you have been very helpfull.
I think it will take long time for Lexid to be available for somebody to buy it in private.
US government will block it going out in the market as long as they can.
