Electroscope (?).....

[Shawn]

I was surfing the web and came across this schematic. Could this instrument be used in finding "hot" zones. From what you can gather would this instrument be valuable for anything in the realm of treasure hunting/prospecting, etc. Here's the link:

Is possible. I'm working in gradiometers or gradient meters. Old buried objects have electric field, like copper, gold and silver.

Maybe, if you were detecing for old miners, not necessarily mines! What would a person do with one of these? Digging every signal might unearth something you didn't want to find! Howoool!
