Question:

Will Rangertell units detect gold and silver coins?

Answer:

All RT units will detect coins and jewellery as well as reefs, caches and any deposits of gold and precious metals and/or gemstones. They will also detect paper money.

Question:

What is the range of the units?

Answer:

The range is one of the amazing features of the Rangertell locators. Small items like coins and rings can be detected at tens of feet. Deeply buried objects will also be detectable tens to hundreds of feet. With items larger than a few kilos you can detect to several hundreds of feet. Mines and ore deposits of some size will be easily picked up at a mile and even many miles depending on their size. We have no trouble with a gold/sulfide deposit 12 miles away. On one occasion we drove to a point more than 50 miles away and landed right on the target. This is hard to believe until you try detecting towards old mines or jewellery shops. As a matter of fact if you start trying to detect these at first until you find the setting, you will readily gauge the detection power of these units. But then since the Earth is a magnet and it is the polarity plus the resonant frequency amplification circuit of the unit that causes it to turn, it is in fact a gold and substance compass and hence distance is no object.

Question:

What exactly is a long range locator or detector ?

Answer:

Here are some descriptions from independent websites:
"Another type of treasure finder is the long range detector. These units can detect larger items and treasure chests as far beneath the surface as 20 feet and 2-10 blocks away. These metal detectors, which range in cost between $2,000 and $30,000, are used by professional treasure hunters."

Question:

How do long range metal detectors work?

Answer:

"In a short range metal detector, the detector looks for the direct interaction of its magnetic field and a nearby piece of metal. That nearby metal changes the characteristics of the detector's wire coil in a way that's relatively easy to detect. But in a longer-range metal detector, the electromagnetic coil must actually radiate an electromagnetic wave and then look for the reflection of this electromagnetic wave from a more distant piece of metal. That's because the magnetic field of the coil doesn't extend outward forever--it dies away a few diameters of the coil away from the coil itself. For the metal detector to look for metal farther away, it needs help carrying the magnetic field through space. By combining an electric field with the magnetic field, the long-range metal detector creates an electromagnetic wave--a radio wave--that travels independently through space. Electromagnetic waves reflect from many things, particularly objects that conduct electricity. So the long-range metal detector launches an electromagnetic wave and then looks for the reflection of that wave. "

Question:

How do I make payment for the Rangertell unit I want to try/buy?

Answer:

Click on the Ebay store link above!

Question:

How long does it take to receive a Rangertell LRL?

Answer:

It takes 5-7 working days to get to most places in the US and worldwide via airmail. This will vary according to postal events but appears to be fairly close.

Question:

How can you sell them at so low a price?

Answer:

No market pressures and no overheads due to many staff are the main reasons. The concern is essentially not in it to make a huge profit but only transfers the parts and labor cost to the buyer. If you saw how much R and D goes into each product you would see that it should be at least twice the price. And that's just R and D. The profit is virtual. It's mainly the exciting world of long range locating that goads us on. When we find that great bounty then there may be a change..may be. Another main factor is the absence of eye-candy packaging. We send you the item as is without any frills. This is why you don't pay through the nose-- for worthless colored cardboard and cellophane. You could say it's generic, but then you would not be doing the locator justice.

Question:

When you say you find gold every time you go out, is this true?

Answer:

Yes it is. We always find gold because we are set to gold and although the reefs we find are not ours yet since we would need to take out exploration rights that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (and we are waiting for the biggie), we even find better reefs than the mines are based on when we poke around mines. We find many virgin reefs and lodes that have not been chartered. Not once have we gone out that we have failed to find gold albeit traces. Time and money has been the only limiting factor. The development of the discrimination has improved to where now there is an even better chance of finding substantial paydirt.

Question:

Have many people been incompatible with the LRLs?

Answer:

Out of about 1000 units sold very few users have returned it and received a refund due to anything but mechanical reasons. Health and difficult left-handedness have been the only factors.

Question:

How do I tune to a sample?

Answer:

In all cases with our products we find better results when you tune to a subsurface sample. In other words don't tune to it on the surface but insert an inch or so in the ground or bury it just below the surface before tuning to it.

Question:

How do I tune to a target in the best possible way. I think I'm doing something wrong.

Answer:

If you don' t fine-tune a hair at a time you probably are. It is better to spend a little longer tuning to as narrow a swing arc as you can than dig five feet to find a tiny object that has fooled your tuning. Read the instructions again and see if you can't improve your tuning by turning and testing the swing in even smaller increments. It's worth it. That way you can sense the alignment better and will find more targets that are real.

Question:

I get the indications fine but when I dig and the signal is gone I can't see anything.

Answer:

This is due to three phenomena. The first is that you need to eliminate microgold by reading the instructions and using the key for this . If you collect the soil you get the signal from and place it under a microscope you will eventually eliminate all but a tiny grain. You do this using the examiner and your finger as an indicator for it.Use the anti-microgold key in the field to remove this annoying outcome. The second reason for not finding visible gold is that you are not tuned correctly. Once again read the instructions under 'Troubleshooting...'. If you have done everything right, are tuned and have isolated the signal to a patch of soil with no gold once you remove it, you will see gold grains under the microscope. This shouldn't happen if you are meticulous with your tuning. Please let us know if this happens often and we will give you alternative frequencies and keys. Take twenty years of detecting experience and a University degree majoring in Geology, Geomorphology and Geophysics, experience in the mining industry together with metal detector and computing expertise and you have what it takes to give those who don't know what they require to succeed.

Question:

Surely you get skeptics that think it's too good to be true. What's the go with these?

Answer:

They can be summarized as being two in number. The same two (Carl Moreland and/or Sam) post under many aliases and have been saying the same thing for years. One , possibly both, are left-handed and need special tuition to be able to use them. They are probably just metal detector shills. It's not hard to make out more than one user is commenting when you answer your own defamatory content etc and this is just one of their many goof-offs. They can't use the detectors. An ex-NASA engineer told us this. Most of the comments generally are favorable (see testimonials for some) and every now and then theres' a gem.e.g. http://www.nuggethunting.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4684 down page. We also can't speak for the many distributors that are out there worldwide. The bottom line is that we give refunds and replacements. In a year or so we will have sold 1000 Examiners. That means two or three thousand indirect users. No complaints have yet amounted to anything. The skeptics  are usually as clever as those Nigerian scammers. Their writing is convincing but unfortunately in the same ballpark. Make up your own mind, and accept no substitutes. Any confusion re names  and mechanics is a furphy sown by the skeptics.

Question:

Is there a better way of holding the units?

Answer:

The best way is to imagine you are holding a bird in your hand. Don't grip the handle tightly at all but hold it as lightly as possible as if you are ready to release the imaginary bird.. You will find the unit preferring a direction astonishingly better. This is conceptually consistent with our products i.e. the smaller the variation such as holding it lightly or tuning it a thou, the better the lock, not as you would expect the other way round.

Question:

What is the very best advice you can give an Examiner user?

Answer:

Always use the weight function or you will find gold alright but all kinds, mainly micro-sized. This is most important. Ten- foot holes were dug by Ranger and Tell before the weight function was invented, for a speck.

Keep the Examiner tuned in the field by walking past a sample on the ground or slightly buried and adjusting the aerial and tuning knob until the best 'lock.' It helps to hold a sample of your chosen substance against the handle also, then tune to sample on ground as well. That leaves no doubt whatsoever. Don't switch users. If you do, retune so the user with the unit in his hand finds the sample on or below the surface in the most distinct manner. You will find that although the above are not necessary if you're tuned, it helps to know you are still working at optimum detecting level. Otherwise you may put yourself in the general vicinity and use a metal detector but save less time than making sure by retuning.

Make sure your detecting mate does not have material the same as the target on his person and walking close by. The Examiner will be confused and give you a middling direction , which is not what you want.
