TUNING EXAMINER

Use Anubis and antenna as shown in clip (arrow/pause/stop) to sharpen lock to sample with Examiner. One section out seems ideal for most applications but you can experiment with lengths. In wind it helps to place all sections in the one extended.

Once set you will locate the substance tuned to by sweeping from side to side slowly until the antenna aligns like a compass in a particular direction. The depth test can also be conducted with the Rodette.

Either unit can perform as a bot, allowing you to follow it''s turning to the target. When the antenna points back the way you came...you are directly above the target.

We told you it was user-friendly.

A Rodette III .in the same way as the Examiner, will whirl like a helicopter in the hands of a passenger as it passes a gold reef. These reefs, common in gold country are simply gold bearing strata passing beneath the road. As the forward momentum of the car passes the reef the antenna continues to pull back to the reef then forward off the reef and back again due to the centrifugal force. This action can get quite animated depending on the reef structure and can reach 3 times as fast as the speed in the clip.

Letter From Ben

Hi Ranger, I've been recovering from the 10 hour drive home from Colorado. Whew! I tried the Examiner in the mining districts between elevations of from 7,700 to 12,800 feet. I got lots of long range hits, but mainly worked the ore dumps of mines that I could fourwheel into. My best responses came at close range using the new frequency settings with 2 sections of aerial extended. At the first mine, I only had one hit. I boxed it in and went over the spot with the detector. I immediately had a loud signal. I dug up a small piece of black ore. Not what I expected, but, knowing that the geology of Colorado is different than my experiences elsewhere, I saved the piece. The next day at a mine near a ghost town, the Examiner gave me strong hits at several places atop and on the sides of the dump. I boxed them in, marked them, and detected 6 pieces of that same strange black ore. They really scream in the headphones of my White's GMT! Back in town, I got hold of a book on gold occurrences of Colorado that mentioned native gold in polymetallic veins in a host rock of Tertiary andesitic lava/tuff. Okay, now I scrubbed the pieces and looked at them with my jeweler's loupe. Native gold visible on the pieces! On the way back from the Pass, I talked the family into stopping to hunt at a place where the river intersects that gulch I told you about. Same story, I found a couple of pieces of the mystery ore. My best day was my last day there. My son and I fourwheeled into an old mine in the mountainous area. Just for fun, I set the Examiner to the long frequency with only one length of aerial showing. I received many, many, many, many hits. I recovered almost 100 pieces of ore! My son found about thirty. I will send pics after I crush and pan out the material. All I can say is wow! All for now, Ben

BEWARE THE GOLD PAINT!

Since most gold paint used on toys, ceramics and other items is 24k gold, it pays to be aware of this in the field. Below are a few shots of gold paint found from 30 feet using the Examiner and another unit we're testing. The gold paint is obvious. The matrix tests as ceramics. Probably the edge of a plate.

The new sizing dial of the Examiner allows you avoid this by setting to a larger size.
