REPLY by DELL:

No Relationship whatsoever!

Re: electroscope

oh-so its just that someone decided to call it the same name---why did they (whoever)not coin another

word to call it so as to minimize any......

As Dell said, there are no similarities.

The Electroscope (by Thomas) of today is a voltage enhanced dowsing rod. When everything is connected up correctly, there is supposed to be an adjustable open-circuit voltage applied between two of the three antennas, and the third antenna.

I'll refrain from further comment, as it has been discussed on the LRL forum adnauseam.

Re: electroscope

adnauseam.

thanks you to add to my vocab. a new word---had to look that one up....made me laugh---that is the

definitions' "wordage"...

Treasure finally found with mag !

Hi Guys


When I arrived 2 years ago at the Southernmost tip of Africa, a


local guy told me he had located the wreck of a Portugese sailing


ship ( which we call the "Nostra" ) under several meters of sand at


low water mark, by towing a mag in a rubber tyre along the sand at


spring low water.


Last week I got a call to fix an underwater camera/floodlight that


they are using on a blower to expose the wreck, and it looks like


they have found it !


It gives me hope to finish my PPM, there are loads of wrecks along


the coast !


Good luck all

What plans did you use for yor mag? I have been trying to find out


who put a set of plans on the AOL hometown without success. At the


bottom of the first page it says under construction. I don't know if


these plans are complete or not.

Hi Rick


It wasnt my mag they used, mine is still a very experimental thing


that has sat on the shelf for 20 months, waiting for me to get some


time to finish it :-)


I am sure there are people in the group that can help you with plans


Cheers


John
