Best I can figure why I do it.. Because the greedy people that make and sell them earned the publicity . Because the clueless people thinking about buying them could use a heads up. (PT Barnum said "a sucker is born every minute" , so it seems someone always does. Evidence the occasional newb showing up and first post is asking about them , preferably before buying one) And maybe , just maybe , because if we do , well , some of those people will stop buying them? And finally , pointing and laughing , though not socially acceptable , can be a lot of fun for a good cause. Kinda like why some people think they should jump in the ocean in the middle of winter 🥶....not because they really want to. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDancer Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Well heck the animation is outstanding and the field test was most convincing. I gotta wonder how many times the developer was hit in the face by the receptioner thingy with antenna's. Seems like I could just walk in a circle around where the gold nugget and silver bars are to pinpoint but It make more sense trace and retrace the cardinal directions for proper pinpoint. For soil types I wonder if it has Sand mode? But as seen earlier in the thread there is no manual for it so it must be pretty intuitive. Ah god, my sides hurt.....

WesD Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 They could probably make some good money off this thing if they were targeting the 5 -10 year old age group, in the children's toy aisle 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4G To troll for questions about why anyone would post this kind of stuff. Also it's my forum and I'll post whatever I want - since I got a chuckle out of it I thought some other people might also. But really it is not bad for people to see this stuff and then see comments from knowledgeable people about what they think about them. It's a form of education for those that do not know. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSkyGuy Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Gerry is right. Here is a KellyCo ad from Treasure Magazine October 1978. The Dar Nel rod looks like it was fashioned from a coat hangar. Not nearly as fancy as the one that Steve posted with four antennas! One of them looks like a Bic pen. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Guys, Steve I are not making this stuff up. Thanks BigSkyGuy for showing back in the 70s. Here's in the 1990's and one of the reasons I hated that big K company. They literally didn't care about the customer, only money. Buyers Beware. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
