Accurate Locators's IMAGERS

[rezamery]

We are hunting for deeply buried caches containing gold coins.
Is there any one who has used IMAGERS made by Accuratelocators???
Is it a suitable underground imaging locator for our search?

[jackdetect]

I was tested couple of them (Future explorer 3000, etc.) on my polygon, without any useful results.
They used some primitive magnetic sensors which are not capable to feel anything except large ferrous objects max about 1m.
For locating underground caves or structures need highly sensitive Proton Magnetometer or Cesium.
So, be careful, it is a lot of money for nothing!

Accurate locators' IMAGERS

Dear Sir,

The units you have tested are those that Accuratelocators was selling them as Future GPRs and they have originally been made by OKM. I Know that they all are pathetic, but I am asking you about the new imaging detectors that are now being sold by the Accurate locators. They are called USA Imagers and have been made by Accuratelocators.

What do you think about them?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Like always, I can not find any serious technical explanation about working principles, etc.
Similar imaging devices for decades are in use in geophysical underground exploring. But, they resolution (capability for locating usual treasure hunt objects like small caves, artifacts etc.) is to poor for useful treasure hunt.
Stuff like: max theoretical deep, on the net become a horror for customers.If some device is capable to locate tons of magnetic ore 100m underground or etc, it does not meant that is capable to locate anything useful for treasure hunters.
I can not judge about units whose I am not tested.
But from my long time experience with similar devices I only can say: need to be very careful before spend lot of money for any unit who betoken more then 1m deep.
I can suggest you to do some serious research about military devices for UXO who are having very similar requests like for treasure hunters. Some governments spend a millions for development. However, such devices are capable to detect metal pieces 1-2m. So, where is a truth?

Imagers

As for the detectors that are suitable for searching UXOs, I have previously contacted the Geonics(www.geonics.com) about their EM conductivity metal detectors, but I could not get more info about their detectors. Anyway, based on your many years of experience in treasure hunting, could you tell me which detectors are suitable for deep cach-hunting? What is your opinion about other more advanced GPRs available in the market like SIR by GSSI, Noggin and Zond?

I was write book (300 pages) about you question.

Presence of such many different techniques for underground research, tell us that science still not have universal units or principles.

Serious GPR locators can locate caves or large metals (much depending of their frequency), but they are useless on lot of terrains with clay etc. Sensitive Magnetometers with data logging, can give underground maps, but I was find in some military books that they useless on nearly 50% terrains because of magnetic ores.

Pulse technique with large coils can go couple of meters deep for cistern, tank, plane etc. but locating depth for common noble metal objects is very disappointed.

Etc, Etc.

You must know that GPR, Magnetic, Resistivity, Em etc. wasn’t invented for such thing like treasure hunt, but mostly for geology and oil companies.

I doubt that any of serious scientific institution is willing to spend time to adapt some geophysical techniques for treasure hunt.

your book

Could you give me more info. about your book? where can we find it?

Thank you.

[jackdetect]

Thanks for interest. Unfortunately my book isn’t translated on English, and available only on my native Serbo-Croatian language.
The last couple of years, I start serious research with different geophysical techniques, ant try to figure their real capability for treasure or numismatic hunt.
Also start working on new edition of my book, because now I have lot of experimental units (Mags, Resistivity, TEM, data loggers), and can make plenty of original photos, diagrams, real field results etc. That new book, I will translate on English.
But, I must say, according to my experiments, that most geophysical technique gives much worse results then manufacturers declare in their technical documentation. It is present not only in world of treasure hunt equipment manufacturers, but also in world of real geo locators.

Hello,

I would appreciate it if you could let me know as soon as your book was translated in to English.
In your previous e-mails you told me that the UXO detectors are suitable for deep cache-hunting, could you introduce me some dealers? I previously contacted with Geonics, a leader company in producing EM metal detectors, But I couldn't get enough info. about their products. I am not completely sure if these kind of instruments are suitable for serious professional treasure hunting or not?
What is your opinion about GRs like Accumeter, MLL, GPL,etc...?

Thanks

[jackdetect]

Such big companies, like Geonics, certainly will not send any info to individuals.

But, if you start google with keywords EM31 or EM 61 you will find tons of Pdf documents about field tests etc. Such units are probably good for locating deep metals, but very expensive.

Cheaper solution for deep metals can be Eric Foster Pi detector Superscan with ground transmitter loops 5m x 5m or 10m x 10m, but it needs very specific and careful work.

For caves, for me, best solution is 2D Resistivity tomography, and one of leader is agiusa.com. Certainly, you can find some cheaper 2D Res units.

If you really want to find something deep in ground, go away from treasure hunting sites and their units.

hi all.
returning to oldie topic. has anyone in Serbia own this book that Jelko has released?
