NCIS Los Angeles

sllingshot47 · Mar 28, 2017

I love the regular NCIS series with Gibbs, but watch the Los Angeles series, too. This pm they were searching for metallic evidence and he had the $100 Tracker IV! No problem so far. Then the autopsy guy grabs it and says "According to my calculations, the object should be about right here." No problem so far. He then waves the Tracker WITHOUT headphones to the spot and holds it motionless over the spot :laughing:

No sound!

He then reaches down and picks up the metallic object! :lol:

A new way to save on batteries?? :laughing:

You're correct. I was laughing and not paying attention. There's also NCIS Los Angeles on another nite. Funny how a character like Gibbs, Abby, Magee, or Ziva make a series better. So it caught your attention? :?:

I just looked at the first few minutes covering that part and also noticed he had the coil at about a 45 degree angle from the ground when searching. (didn't seem to have it quite as close to the ground as he should have either) It did seem as if he was looking for the needle display to move.

It's obvious they likely did not research proper detector use on youtube first :lol:

Here are a few screen shots from that part -

Thats just Awful! You would think they would have done a bit of research if they want to be taken as real TV detectives seriously! No wonder theres so many unsolved Cold Cases! These TV detectives couldnt find a RV in a Campground running a rig like that!

I mean..surely somebody on the crew had to have known how to run a rig? Or at least see some old guy do it once or twice? Unforgivable technical error! :laughing:

This explains it. They had the Vudo Infused BH, which is a $25.00 option- no batteries, no motion, telepathic sound & auto target location!

Thanks for posting those pics. It just caught my attention because I've had about 4 Trackers over the years. I thought maybe someone had finally discovered a use for that "kicker" needle! :lol:

Not so bad , at least they did not leave open 40 holes and throw the tras next to them :grin:

The first thing that they found was what the Tracker finds best.....an aluminum screw cap. :lol:

Guess those Hollywood folk aren't into metal detecting :lol:

The way they used that detector they might as well as attached a Frisbee to the end of a broomstick and used that as a detector prop :laughing:

Having a Tracker IV myself I had to check out that scene after you mentioned how they used it :shock:

I was just thinking, they may have had improper technique, but at least being used on that show it hopefully gave metal detecting a positive boost in the minds of the public, just as long as they don't copy their technique :laughing:

(I'm sure Bounty Hunter didn't mind publicity for their Tracker IV either)

I've found loads of coins and some jewelry with mine. I could be happy if it was the onlydetector I could get.
