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

A. 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.

"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."

"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. "

A. Send an email to tarkus77@iinet.net.au and we will advise whether your preferred method is ok.

A. 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.

Q. Do you offer a warranty apart from the 14 day trial? Is there anything else I need to know before trialling?

A. Yes. A three-month warranty on parts applies if due care has been taken in handling the unit. In the same way a full refund will not be given if tampering is detected since this is a cost we must bear. It is a sealed unit and cannot be opened without rendering the unit useless.

Q. Is there a scientific report by someone re the Rangertell Examiner?

A. Here is one written by an independent not connected with Rangertell that was sent to us.

"The operating principle of LRLs is not immediately obvious if viewed from the perspective of accepted physics. First hand examination of these devices will reveal an apparently simplistic construction that obscures the complex subtlety of their design.

Two types are described here. The first is similar to the Rangertell Examiner, and the other is an advanced electronic device that operates on the same underlying principle as the Mineoro detectors.

For example, the Rangertell Examiner may appear at first sight to contain just a handful of components that seem loosely connected in some arbitrary fashion. This conclusion is far from the truth, as will be explained fully in the following analysis.

One of the most confusing aspects of the Examiner design is the enameled wire that protrudes through the case and terminates just below the calculator housing without any apparent connection. This type of connection can be explained by reference to the work carried out by Zaev, Avramenko and Lisin on displacement current. According to the authors – "The measurement of the polarisation current in matter can clean up the long-standing dispute about the nature of dielectric permeability of metals, and also make possible the transmission of energy along an isolated conductor without a galvanically closed current circuit. Nicholai Tesla demonstrated this on 1st February 1892 in London but the description of the method applied by him for such a transmission line has not been preserved."

A simple circuit (known as Avramenko’s fork) can be used to demonstrate this method of energy transmission.

Note that there is no connection between the load and a common terminal, such as ground. The load is quite simply isolated from ground, but it still receives power.

This type of circuit is not subject to Kirchoff’s current and voltage laws, and the output current measured in the load is not appreciatively affected by inserting a capacitor of 0.1uF in the line. This is the underlying principle of power derivation within the Examiner LRL, and the reason why the device needs no battery supply other than that provided by the calculator. Power to the circuit (a modified form of Avramenko’s fork) is provided directly by the calculator allowing precise tuning by the operator.

Although the original circuit contained two diodes, the version in the Examiner makes use of resonance techniques and longitudinal wave coupling to boost the energy to a level necessary for long range detection. The human component is also an essential part of the design. Just as a tuning fork (or in this case Avramenko’s fork) has natural frequencies for sound, the planet Earth has natural frequencies, called Schumann resonances, and the human brain has natural frequencies for electromagnetic radiation. It is known that that the Earth’s Schumann resonances are "in tune" with the human brain’s alpha and theta states. But since the Schumann resonance is very low, at about 7.5Hz, the frequencies programmed via the calculator must be down-converted and fine-tuned for effective long-range location to take place. In addition, the Schumann resonance can fluctuate by + or – 0.5Hz depending on the properties of the Earth’s electromagnetic cavity.

The natural frequencies of the human brain are:

Beta waves (14 to 30Hz)
Alpha waves (8 to 13Hz)
Theta waves (4 to 7 Hz)
Delta waves (1 to 3Hz)

This explains the inclusion of adjustable elements in the fork / down-converter circuit.

Although the underlying operating principle is complex and difficult to explain, the demonstrable success of these devices has been shown on a number of occasions. Unfortunately LRLs rarely work out-of-the-box, and may need to become acclimatised to their owner over a period of time. Perseverance is the key to successful hunting with an LRL.

It is important that the end of the wire should protrude through the case, and terminate just below the calculator chip. In most calculators this chip is located near to the center of the unit."

SYNOPSIS FROM TELL

This refers to the prototype Examiner version 1.0 which was an early attempt (only 10 made). The Examiner T-G 7 01 06 is light years ahead of this. The reason for the price is that we have tested exclusive frequencies to Rangertell and spent years testing it in every conceivable environment. It is still at least a tenth of the average price for this type of unit , that has none of the features we provide. The adept geek may build a look-alike but it will not perform anywhere near the real Examiner. Alignment for instance is more important than first appears and you don't get the POS system to determine depth, distance , shape and weight or the R&D frequencies. You can build a reasonable beeping metal detector too for $50. But it won't perform anywhere near the commercially accepted product because there is no R&D. With more than 700 Rangertell units sold which means about 1000 users and no complaints except from a stereotyped skeptic or two, 100 percent acceptance is the answer to that one.
2. You are not of course connecting your head to the stratosphere. You are allowing magnetic resonance to fulfill the requirements of the detection frequency in relation to the target. If you enter 7 into a tuned Examiner and walk you will determine the grid pattern that is evident round the Earth every 7 feet .

It is amusing to read the skeptic's weak slant on the truth about this type of locating. This is from a forum where the skeptic Carl Moreland is answering a question.

People like Carl are professional naysayers. Their inconsistent propaganda lacks coherence. They will say they can use LRLs then deny it. Associating with them will only ruin your experience. That is one reason people don't want to play his game on the forums. There is no truth in his comments or ' exposes.' The other is Sam Google, who uses many names to hide behind and says the same thing Carl says, unless he is one and the same. Apart from these two (?) no-one who knows what they're doing and has used an undamaged one has questioned the Examiner. You can't. The answer is as plain as the nose on your face. Try it yourself though. You have a full 7 or 14 days from receiving it to decide. Is that not fair?

"A skeptic is always in the minority. If there was doubt about a concept there wouldn't be a skeptic...it would be common knowledge."

A. 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.

Just like a metal detector sends a signal to the target then measures the difference between it and the target the pic below shows how the Examiner does the same. The difference is that the distance is horizontal and over vast distances compared to the metal detector and the antenna indicates the direction and spot , unlike the audio on a standard detector. The signal lines can be detected with another Examiner or photographed under special conditions .

A. 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. See this page: Field Notes

A. The answer is a definite no. If you can't determine this from this site you can send ranger an email and receive the simple experiments to conduct to prove this. It's that simple. The ideomotor camp is an old joke re long range metal detectors. Some of the remailer guys can get very daunted when we easily prove it is not a natural nerve reaction. We let you decide for yourself during the 14 days if the Examiner fits the bill.

A. Out of about 400 units sold one user has returned it and received a refund due to his finding gold around his house. It appears in retrospect that he may have been finding gold that is in computers, mobiles and other high quality items that were swaying his rod. Others returned almost to a unit have been due to transport breakage and mechanical failure.This is unusual since one in five people cannot dowse for water which is a good sign of conductivity. If you can dowse for water you can use the units. Not because it's straight dowsing but because some people have physical blockages to the earthing that is part of the equation.

A. 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 or under a rock before tuning to it.

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

A. 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. Also, never detect without the weight limiting key (see instructions).

Q. The antenna turns but sometimes it is slower than normal. How can I speed it up?

A. The handle may need rolling. This is just what it sounds like. Roll it several times on the shaft exerting a little pressure as you turn it. For smoother action generally try a drop or two of sewing machine oil on the shaft.

A. 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. (Not to mention four years of testing and selling the Examiner worldwide.)

A. Hundreds of expeditions to potential areas where we rectify discovered problems and streamline unique enhancements. This is just the fieldwork. Endless discussions and tests are performed in the interim.

At the moment for instance we are obtaining power (0.5 Volt) from a powerless diode setup wired into the surface after Tesla ( see above pic ). This is already finding it's way into our units.

A. 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.

A. 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 or under the rock 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. The user of course would be best advised not to carry metal of the kind sought until he/she is experienced enough to know the difference.

A. Have an assistant hide a coin or gold object on or beneath a field and see if you can detect it. Walk North-South for the first swing, then out along the East-West line on either side. It will be on the side that gives an indication after some time or sweep response. Walk North-South and East West until you find it following the swings. You can use the bot method and simply follow the antenna as it swings , until the complete circle swing is noted. If you have problems you are generally out of tune or your friend has the same material on him. Retune to the object's material (another coin?).

Place the Examiner on the ground (MFD mode) then circle it with rods until you detect the signal line and follow this out.

Q. I already have a metal detector. How can I use it with the Examiner to look for say coins?

A. Metal detectors will find coins within the range of the detector, usually less than 2 feet max. The Examiner will find them at tens of feet, even further with caches. Depth is also considerably more again down tens of feet and more depending on size. You can prove this standing above caves and detecting below, preferably with an assistant. Sea-cliffs are another way, inserting the sample at the base giving you close enough to the vertical depth.
