7. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Perfecting A Rangertell Locator

An average day in the field for Rangertell

10am...temp. 32 deg C

Ranger and his men are onto the hideout of a murderous bushranger reputed to have stolen many hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold in the 19th century during the Gold Rush. He was considered completely mad and terrorised squatters following his escape from imprisonment. Horrific crimes were committed by this giant blackbeard of the bush, who changed his name to an infamous pirate's. It was Mad Dan Morgan, one of the most feared bushrangers of all.

A rock is found (above) that may have been placed over the cache of gold.

12noon . A 4 foot deep hole has been dug using the Examiner and other units. Soil is taken for later analysis using the RT LRLs.

1am. After lunch it's off to the site of a former gold town. The ruins of a hotel yielded small items below the surface and about half a dozen gold hits about 3 feet down. Mad Dan Morgan must have frequented the hotel since he often held up public houses in the area, forcing the owners to feed him and concede to his wishes then brazenly escaping on rustled racehorses that could outrun the constabulary.

All that's left of the old hotel (right)

Tell notes that the Examiner pulls towards antnests and the holes of other creatures.He reasons that the target is closer due to chemical info brought up by the ants to the surface and also that the ant holes etc are bringing the frequency of the target closer to the surface with respect to area of hole surface. In the field it is a good idea to test the antnest (carefully) for locks as they provide 'x-rays' by being mini probes into the structure of the subsurface.

Examiner antenna. The tiny clearings are the ant's entry and exit points . They will swing the LRL to the target

3pm -- Temp 40 deg C.

How can Water be found with Rangertell products?

Very well. A 10 hectare area of harvested wheatland needs to be surveyed since the farmer wishes to drill for both his cows and domestic, farm use.

Two figures, the farmer and Ranger can be seen walking along a water signal line. Tell is using a special locator to verify that one has set off on a freshwater line and the second a mineralised aquifer by setting to a confirmation point. Almost 100 depth pacing tests are done to see where the most economic drilling for water should take place. We correctly detected water at 30 feet ,the same level as the three professionals that had been. This area was fractured and the signal lines caused the LRLs to whirligig continually. The R-T units will find water both sweet and saline in a precise and speedy manner by being set to the frequency for water. The problem was the myriad channels that lay beneath and to determine their suitability.

Another hydrologist predicted water where we had determined it with our units, bringing to seven the number of predictions at exactly the same spot. Drilling through gravel and rock, water was found.

5pm-Temp 38 deg C

It's been a profitable day yielding new enhancements for the Rangertell units (and other finds).

best regards

8. SOME FINDS WITH METAL DETECTORS

It's out there alright. With the Rangertell units you can't miss them.

9. DEPTH TESTING Rangertell PRODUCTS

R&D Expedition April 12, 2003.

Rangertell long range units have been tested to 100 meters using early models. The latest are far superior. We tested the Examiner using an old gold mine (below).The best way to test for depth involves visiting a cave or mine you know is safe and you can enter without problems. Placing a sample of gold or what you're tuned to inside the cavity and seeking it from above will give you an idea of the Rangertell locator's ability to penetrate soil and rock. You can tie a length of twine to the sample and slowly pull it out , blind testing as you're watching for the swing from the unit , held by your assistant above. You can try these basic techniques to any depth. Tell us if you have reached what you think is an unusual subsurface distance. We provide instructions for those who cave with the units. Archaeologists cannot go past them as they represent the most affordable way to determine the dimensions of a cavity or tunnel system below the surface and the extent of goods and /or valuables stored therein..without lifting a shovel! You have 14 days risk free from receipt of goods to prove this or your money is cheerfully refunded. Geologists can plot structures and deposits over miles without even visiting the areas. Oil bedrock can be mapped without even a drillcore being taken.

Depth testing Examiner to 20 feet. The sample is about 15 feet inside the mine.* You are looking at a virtual cross-section of the surface when you do this.

* A gold vein missed by the miners was found from above with the unit.

.............

BELOW LEFT: In the same area we discover an emerald pipe about 30 meters long with the Examiner (from hammer to figure) about one foot wide and about a meter deep. Width is determined by approaching from first one side and remembering where the swing is parallel to the body , then from the other and doing the same. The distance between is the width of the structure. Depth is determined using the pacing tests in the instructions with the units. When the unit no longer shows a preference as you walk along the find the structure has petered out. Tell detected this from several kilometers.

BELOW CENTRE: The small cleared area will be dug to about a meter where diamonds (more than likely industrial) have been determined using the Examiner.

BELOW RIGHT: Zircons were found in three areas 2-3 feet below the surface using the Examiner.

10. TARGET PROOFING

Two users with two Examiners Move Forward Toward A Sample

They Swing Towards the Sample As One

The Examiners are starting to Agree.

This is a great way to prove the existence of a target. Both Examiners (or any Rangertell units) will detect in unison when tuned.

Note:The one and two dial models are the same, the former has the fine tuning built in.

ALWAYS FINE TUNE YOUR ' EXTRA CARE' WHEN EXAMINING OLD MINES AND ABANDONED AREAS

LAZY SUNDAY AFTERNOON

.........At the weekend I took a Sunday drive to a goldrush diggings area to try out a new screw. I could hardly believe it. The bushfires had exposed the true extent of the goldrush. There was barely an undisturbed patch for tens of square miles over hundreds. A long embankment was a magnet for the Rodette as I could move along it and watch the antenna swing to each quartz vein about 10 feet apart. Tuned to a $100US gold coin I knew I was ready. The Examiner left no room for doubt there was gold there. Panning the quartz specimens in the creek revealed the fine gold. I moved on.

X (in quartz) marked the spot on the cuttting, one of several veins.

The area was not only denuded by fire but intensive logging. Here a reef was proven but 60 feet down using the Rodette and the Examiner.

In an area uncovered by the fires, where once blackberries ruled, I obtained a lock and there about 1.5 feet down was a pick (see picture). It looked high grade though rusted so I used a grinder to remove the rust. It had to be a pick used in the goldrush and of the highest quality. It would put today's picks to shame. This in an area where there was so much gold an official fitted his horse with golden horseshoes way back then. The pick was made in two parts. Blacksmiths of that bygone era spliced their picks on an anvil, which leads me to conclude this was an original. Is it silver you might ask...well..

There was only one problem. I had found it with the LRL then verified with the Deepseeker not the SD2000. It wasn't deep at all and the gold signal which I had originally detected at that spot was still there about 5 feet down.

Oh well. At least with a branch from a garden tree I shaved and fitted to the pick I now have another very serviceable pick . Plus I have a feeling there is a nugget down there, hastily forgotten by a miner whose pick head left it's shaft perhaps just before a deluge swamped the open cut hydraulic sluice mine rendering return to work impossible...about 150 years ago.

If you are wondering whether LRLx work... of course. With Rangertell, every time!! It's just that there is more of a science in understanding what may be affecting your instrument than most think. Not once have I found a bad alignment due to anything other than an overlooked object nearby or a lesson in locating that hasn't been imparted. Teachers are very limited in this study. If you go out when you can you will pick it up faster than you think. If not ask us. There is an entire chapter in the book on long range locating dedicated to interference. It's written in days in the field and also exchanging ideas. The stones do not speak.

12. THE GOLDSTAR METHOD

There is a way to prove you are onto a gold target that is simple and only involves a little pacing.

The photo shows the goldstar method of proving a gold target. Simply walk slightly to the left of the sample or target in a North-South direction. The Examiner should swing back at a point North and another South. Now walk East-West across the centre of that N-S line and there should be a turn at the same distance in the same way along the E-W line.

If you walk a box around the sample or target you will get swings at each corner of the imaginary box. You need only get swings at the red crosses but the box is even better. If you don't get the star-pattern of swings as in the picture below your sample or target is NOT gold or your tuning needs a little adjustment.
