NMRI - Hoax or Real

[joeten]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone heard anything about using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI) for remote sensing and metal detection?


On the TV show, History Channel and the episode "The Curse of Oak Island" father and son team Robert and Bob Leonard claim to using this and producing results that seem a little too good to true.


Thanks

Probably Real Hoax.

If you want to investigate LRLs, you need to go to www.longrangelocators.com
We do not discuss this subject in the Geotech forums.

Oak Island is a breeding ground for make-believe. So it is likely a hoax.

Just saw the episode & it reminds me of the company Leaf and Stone in Canada. Are they a hoax too?

"Molecular Resonance Coupling is a spectrum change that occurs when two atomic structurally identical substances match each other."

Sounds exactly like LRLs. In any case, there is an underwhelming amount of information offered if what they have is real. I expect it's not.

How do they detect gold seam with a helicopter.


I remember years ago seeing a Sea King with a large mushroom underneath. That appeared to be following the gold seam near Dolgellau or was that just a coincidence.

Airborne geophysical surveys have been around for many years. Some methods use technology closely related to VLF and PI metal detection. No (zero) such methods detect gold, all they do is map certain properties of geological structure.

If you think a 2 kilogram battery and 40 cm searchcoil are big..... it all kinda depends on your perspective.

The idea of doing airborne electromagnetic geophysical surveys originated with Dr. Gerhard Fisher, founder of Fisher Research Labs, back in the late 1920's before he founded the company. Rather than trying to tow a monster transmitter through the air, the idea was to use existing land-based radionavigation beacons as the excitation. This method is still among those used for geophysical surveys, both airborne and surface. Unfortunately the field strength available is insufficient to support operation of a metal detector of the kind we're familiar with.
