using your dowsing or LRL/MFD system? I have heard of people tracking over a mile! I have done some test on large know targets and have hit about 1 mail away.

Tim, I have tracked a gold signal for over 3 miles back in Kansas. What it turned out to be was a cemetery! I suspect it was a gold tooth filling but never checked to see as you can imagine. Bill

On known targets my LRL will track a flake of gold for 3/4 miles. I have followed and dug Micro-gold at that distance. It's funny that these long range targets always seem to be down hill from your auto making for a hard climb after you locate them...Art

If you are using the air mode, you receive longer range when working from an elevated position.  Dell

Hey Bill I heard tales of treasure being buried in grave yards! But who would dig up a grave yard!

Hello Tim,

often the treasure is not necessarily buried in the grave but just beside it. The reason is that graves can easily be recognized and thus be found again.

Yes. There is a story down here in my area that when a bridge was being built. A backhoe hit a grave. The story goes the operator took off a little at a time to where he saw the flat surface of the grave and a small box beside it. The box was gold coins. The operator was never seen again!

I've heard the people traveled they would offten bury their belonging with the person.

With a John Koonze LRL, I tracked a target from two locations (so as to get a fix) over water for 17 miles. The area was magged, and showed 23 hits (at least 10 gammas) in an area approximately 60 feet by 100 feet. The target was map dowsed from 300 miles away.

BP, the unit was built by John Koonze called an Earth Trace, but it was still just an electronic dowsing device. If I had known, I could have done the same with just L-rods. By the way, I sent you a couple of emails, but got no response. My question was, have you heard from Sweet Sue lately?
