Default VR1000B long range king

Hi people,
We are doing an exploration on a land that is supposedly rich in gold. we are contemplating on getting the VR1000B long range king. I am not sure if it is as good as it claims to be. Does anyone has an idea about it? We are interested with something that can detect as deep as 20m underground. any advice?

Save your money. I'm assuming this is one of those "long range locators". Just my opinion.

Hmmm....
"Mode switching function, can be chosen gold, silver, copper, lead, tin, precious stones six detection mode"
If this were true and actually worked we would all own one.
Since it is not true, lets add...
"Also can determine winning lottery numbers, can read people's mind's and can easily tell you if your spouse is cheating on you."



Instincts are a good thing...listen to them.

If you are silly enough to buy one of these, please take a moment to check out some of the merchandise I have for sale.

Sad ain't it, scam people like that. I'd love to see one of those things catch fire and burn the warehouse to the ground.

Guess you got your answer. Like someone said, make yourself a set of dowsing rods. It will save you a lot of money and you will get just as good results...

I have nothing positive to say about long range locators. I would never purchase one myself.

Default No Joke

Hi Nongildas.

Don't worry...there's someone here that knows what you're facing when trying to get a serious answer from your question like this. I have a piece of land in the Philippine's that there is much lore about and gold finds have occured nearby. Believe it or not...there are gold finds like these in the Phil's but everyone think's your nut's.
I too tried to get some rational answers about a long-range detector but only got joke's like you did so I did some looking on my own. (that's a dangerous thing as I don't know what I'm doing). I found a few companies so maybe you could at least investigate them as leads. I hope that's they're better than the clothes hanger and pendulum...although much more expensive. Try OKM, Nokta Golden King, Makro JeoHunter/JeoScan and Pulse Star II Pro.
If anyone cooses to chime in seriously it would be much appreciated.

Most of the people on here use normal electronics technology. Most of the meta-technology requires faith to work. If it doesn't work, you can't really send it in for repairs, get it back, and be any more successful. I have trouble taking such devices seriously, I grew up on hard science, and electronics, too little faith in what can't be tested. There are a lot of pseudoscience based devices, that do make for interesting reading, and would be so cool if they actually worked, but obviously they don't as they would be common place globally. The reason why most people don't use these devices, or admit that they have, is because they simply do not work. All people like to dream, and some people have the resources to pursue these dreams, and there are a lot more people ready and willing supply the devices. I think everyone has a little treasure hunter in their blood, it's just how you define the treasure and the means.

Wild, and unrealistic claims and abilities, usually lead to an equal level of disappointment. Very few people are willing to admit they fell for a scam, or spent a huge amount of cash on a device, they could not get any results from. There are quite a few treasure hunting websites. How many discuss or endorse long range detectors? If they work reliably, there would be people bragging on their success, or asking for help. Questions are kind of rare here, and yes, pretty much answered as in the previous comments...

Some of my favorite, and similar topics... Orgone, ether, HHO gas.

Everyone on here did give a serious answer. These devices show no more ability to work tha. Dowsing does. I believe in dowsing but you don't need a multi thousand dollar device to do it.

Are you looking to do this as a commercial mining operation or a hobby? Big difference.
