Finding Buried Treasure with Digital Cameras

[Goldfinder1000]

Fortunately, it actually works the other way round. Precious metals give off the strongest auras. I buried three aluminum cans and the aura was much weaker than that on a single gold coin.

[pulltabMiner]

What about false positives? Will a buried aluminum can give off a HUGE aura thus masking any good targets?

[sonambulator]

Sorry but the physics doesn't work out for this hoax.

[Goldfinder1000]

@sonambulator

There are nuclear physicists who would not agree with you. The fact that objects emit radiation under the action of the Earth's magnnetic field has been documented since at least 1938.

[RoyalPersia]

I Have a question . can we simply buy an expensive infrared camera ?? . will that do the job ?

or is this a different application ? . is the Gold Aura the Heat emitted from the gold or (aura ) is it something else ? .

[Goldfinder1000]

@RoyalPersia

Buried metals emit radiation ranging from ultra violet, through visible light into the near infra red spectrum. Heat may be generated but it is not easily perceptible. The best cameras to photograph in this range are unmodified digital cameras although most cameras will require an external filter to be used to show the aura. Thermal imaging cameras and cameras designed or set up for false color photography do not photograph auras.

[proffromgview]

This would be FAR more believable if the author would do the EXACT same thing, take the same pictures, use the precise same procedure over a "control" area in which there is no "treasure." As it stands, this is nothing but a sham and a hoax. The "aura" depicted extended over virtually the entire field of view, making me believe that virtually ALL such grassy areas would have that same orange look. Sorry, busted.

[Goldfinder1000]

@proffromgview

I take your point but would you want to watch a video just showing grass? I have done controls as you suggest which show no auras. Gold is excellent at producing auras, which is why the aura is so extensive.

[Goldfinder1000]

Yes. The system actually works with all metals but precious metals like gold and silver give a much better response.

[zergkiller007]

Will this work with Silver???

[twogunz3083]

what type of filter is that on teh camera. He spoke too fast and teh audio was jumbled at that point

[Goldfinder1000]

@twogunz3083

The filter used is an infrared filter in the range 720nm - 1000nm depending on the camera.

So you see, this is old information. Good information, if you have a hankering to get out and give it a try on some small caches. I think the government had this technology long ago. Now they can spot large deposits from satellites. They tell their corporate buddies and they go claim it all up, for a nice cut. I can almost remember the date they started doing that. It just ain't the same for the little guy.

@magprob

Many thanks for your very interesting comments. I too had success with a Polaroid camera which gave yellow streaks over several groups of Iron Age gold coins. I heard recently that the US Goverment spent over a million dollars in the 90s developing a camera for finding metals and they did actually find a vein of gold with it. I have heard that metal auras can be inconsistent and related to solar activity but I think it depends on the target - I have had an aura everytime on gold.

Years later, his son show me the secret. He had a picture of the desert at the family homestead. Al the Grandkids were next to a tree and off to the side about ten feet behind, was a strange rivit of orangish yellow color just hanging in the air. Larry went back out there and took more photos over about six months. Some had it, some didn't. He started digging one day and found a rotted bulap bag with around a hundred silver coins. No telling how much treasure he found. He retired in Scottsdale!

[magprob]

It works. It's not always consistant though. I think the sun has a lot to do with it. When the sun is having massive explosions, it creates intense magnetic activity here on earth, which causes metals buried in the ground to interact.

I was a prospector in Arizona back in the 70's and 80's. I knew an old feller that found a big placer deposit in deep alluvial soil. We aked him how the heck he found it and he smiled and said, "With my wifes Polaroid."

We called him crazy Larry from then on!

[willtejada]

@magprob Was it just done with a Polaroid or did he have any special equipment?

[Goldfinder1000]

@usernamehuhwhat

I am not sure if you have me confused with someone else. I have NEVER received the offer you describe and providing the site is accessible, I would have no problem in taking the challenge.

[LaRelicHunter]

I am sure this could possibly work but why not just use your metal detector? Seems like a lot of trouble and extra work. Also I thought cameras only filter lights? Not to sure about this?

[Goldfinder1000]

@LaRelicHunter

A metal detector is the ideal tool for recovering single small finds from areas that have seen some human activity in the past. If you want to hunt wilderness areas or have a lead on a cache, for example, then the ability to identify buried targets discretely from a considerable distance has obvious advantages over just using a metal detector.

[magprob]

@LaRelicHunter I'll tell you why. I know of a National Park where there is a huge cache buried, as a matter of fact, know to locals from way back. If they catch you with a metal detector, they will take it, your car, your dog and your money. You could, possibly, use this technique to locate it.

Then there is always the tent without a bottom trick! LOL!

[JBDiscrete]

@magprob Please advise of the National Park where the cache is located.

[usernamehuhwhat]

This guy is a complete nutbag and a thieving one at that.

I bought his "book", taken hundreds of pics according to protocols, consulted with the Mad Hatter himself taken pics of known metal targets in a multitude of terrain and conditions. Expert photographers have tried to reproduce his results with known gold and silver targets and failed.

[Goldfinder1000]

@usernamehuhwhat

The book carries a no quibble refund guarantee, so if you are not happy just contact me for your money back. Expert photographers are not necessarily expert in aura photography or treasure hunting - I have a library of aura photographs sent in by happy users of my methods.

[sneakmysnake]

Just wanted to know if you have tried to use the ArcSoft PhotoStudio 6 yet ? The 5.5 doesnt work with windows 7 they say. Good book by the way. Just ordered my filters from ebay and am looking foward to trying this out.

[Goldfinder1000]

Hello,

Many thanks for your message and kind comments. Arcsoft PhotoStudio 5.5 works well on Vista so I haven't had a need to upgrade to v.6. All photo editors I tried worked reasonably well so I don't think there will be any problem with Arcsoft PhotoStudio 6.0. I now have quite a few treasure hunters working on aura photography all around the World, so I'd like to hear how you get on when you try the system out and don't hesitate to let me know if you need any help.

[bthom68]

spose it only really works with gold.... or gold substitutes.

[Goldfinder1000]

All buried metals (only metals) produce some form of electromagnetic radiation or aura, outside the visible light range but detectable by a camera. The strength of the aura is dependent mainly on the conductivity of the metal, with gold and silver giving the strongest auras. Basically the colour of the aura varies with the type of metal, with gold tending to be deep red and silver, orange. So, the system will 'detect' all metal but there are two discrimination methods- aura size and colour.

wow, very nice video

[apiyok]

thats awesome way of finding treasure. anyway,what is that you put in front of the lens? and what software did you use to make the aura visible?

[charles8869]

do you use any dark filter?

[Goldfinder1000]

I use pass filters in the range 720nm to 1000nm, depending on the make and model of camera.

[minelab007]

very interesting,is this for real?

you are on to something if it is.

[Goldfinder1000]

Yes, this is for real. It is a development from Polaroid treasure aura photography, using which I recovered a cache of Iron Age gold coins.
