How To Find Buried Gold With Digital Camera

Midas

David Villanueva, has discovered that digital cameras can be easily adapted to reveal the location of cached treasure from up to several hundred yards away.

Having successfully used a Polaroid camera for photographing auras given off by buried metal for a number of years, David was horrified when Polaroid stopped making the film in 2005 and usable original film quickly became unavailable at any toll. In the short-term alternative film is bachelor, which photographs treasure auras at least as well as the original film but Polaroid's recent decision to cease all instant film production would make photographing treasure auras history…unless digital cameras could be used.

However, digital photographic camera technology is very different to that of film cameras and what worked with Polaroid failed with digital. A complete re-think was needed! The breakthrough came later David learned of treasure hunters successfully using a highly specialised digital camera to locate caches cached along Castilian mule-train trails. So clearly it was possible to photograph auras digitally simply could it be done without spending a fortune on high-tech equipment? After three years of intensive enquiry the answer is absolutely yes! Some, possibly many, pop digital cameras are up to the task.

Using readily available photographic accessories that anyone can easily adhere, without causing damage, the digital cameras tested were able to record an aura, from a distance, on a single quarter-ounce (vii-gram) gold sovereign coin cached vi inches (150mm) underground. In extensive field trials cameras located buried metal over ii feet (610mm) deep and could discriminate between different metals. The cameras could be hand-held or tripod-mounted and could capture auras anytime during daylight hours in a wide range of weather condition conditions. A colleague invited to test the system, with his own photographic camera, clearly demonstrated that no special skill or ability was necessary by obtaining an aura on the kickoff attempt.

The fastened digital photograph shows an aura from 1 ounce of cached golden.

Why is the 'invisible aura' reflecting off the leaves to a higher place it? This is cool.

Do y'all have more info on this?

Why is the 'invisible aura' reflecting off the leaves above it? This is cool.

The small target produces a full-bodied brilliant area on the footing, over the target and a 'haze' (like on hot roads) extending upwards and out for 6-12 inches or so depending on target size and other factors. Hence surrounding vegetation will also reflect the aura, although less intensly than the target.

Do you have more info on this?

All cached metals (but metals) produce some grade of electromagnetic radiation or aura, outside the visible light range merely detectable by a camera. The strength of the aureola is dependent mainly on the conductivity of the metallic, with golden and silver giving the strongest auras. All things being equal, the colour of the aura varies with the blazon of metal, with golden disposed to be deep red and silver, orange. So, the system volition 'detect' all metal but there are two discrimination methods- aura size and colour. All this is explained and illustrated in The Successful Treasure Hunter'due south Surreptitious Manual, Discovering Treasure Auras in the Digital Historic period. The organisation is ideal for hunting larger targets, it is not by and large worthwhile using the organization for single coins, except for perhaps a scattered cache, as a metallic detector is quicker. Clearly, at that place are advantages in being able to detect all metals as you may have a gilded enshroud in an fe box or desire to await for a jar of rare pennies etc.

Digital cameras that have then far produced auras are Canon, Olympus and Sony, with loftier-end models being the most flexible. At that place are no cameras on the 'definitely doesn't work' list yet.

The best photographic camera has picked up a single gilded coin at 15 feet (can't examination further - in that location'south a building in the way) and all cameras have picked up 3 ounces of gold/silvery at this distance. A large iron object produced a discernible aura at 170 yards, and a gold enshroud has been found from an plane using this procedure.

The main factors affecting the aura size are blazon and quantity of metal. Temperature, and by inference, fourth dimension of mean solar day is some other important factor, particularly on small targets. College temperatures produce stronger auras and the organization can be frustrated at sub-naught temperatures by reflections off ice and snow. You will likewise need to become a clear shot at the target as alpine dumbo vegetation, buildings etc, will mask the aura.

It is possible to result the modification for nothing (without harming the camera) but the method is only really suitable for a quick test of photographic camera adequacy. I advise ownership a commercial filter, which will toll from $10 upwards depending on camera, fittings, etc.

If you can betoken and shoot a camera, the organisation will work. I invited a friend to try his own camera on my targets and his get-go shot produced an aura. I can shoot remotely from a computer also, without touching the photographic camera, so you do not need any dowsing ability or special skill.

Sorry, if I have offended. I was merely alerting the good folks here to an heady and practical new method for hunting treasure.

You but need a filter fixed in forepart of the lens but the value of the filter depends on the camera. Traditionally Polaroid SX-70 cameras used a UV filter (c.300nm) for aura photography only digital cameras piece of work over a much larger wavelength range. The camera, which took the picture I posted used a 720nm IR filter but other cameras take needed 850nm or 1000nm.

Intresting Concept !

although considered "Out there" By some,

Please feel free to Explicate the Technique Here

Whatsoever Possabilities which can Help us TreasureHunters

2) Yous say "In all-encompassing field trials cameras located buried metal over two feet (610mm) deep and could discriminate between different metals. ". Were these double bullheaded tests? Countless people take been tested who accept claimed to accept located metals by diverse means. But that is merely because they already knew where the metals were to begin with. If you take evidence from truthful scientific studies that employ acceptable tests and so please share information technology. If you do and then I'd be happen to heed to your ideas on the field of study.

4) Yous say "The camera, which took the picture I posted used a 720nm IR filter just other cameras have needed 850nm or 1000nm.". Yous fail to mention that virtually digitial cameras take what is chosen an Internal IR Cut Filter over the sensor. This would probable have to be removed to become any real picture when using one of the filters you discuss above. Did you physically remove the internal IR filter when taking your pictures? Or did you post-procedure your pictures significantly to get whatsoever sort of image at all?

seven) You lot say "All cached metals (only metals) produce some form of electromagnetic radiation or aura, outside the visible lite range but detectable past a camera. " (emphasis on the word buried is mine). Does this imply that metals which have not been buried practice not produce a form of electromagnetic radiation? If and so, why not? Are at that place circumstances besides being buried that would crusade a metal to produce an aura?

eight ) Isn't information technology also possilble that what yous are filming is not an aureola at all? Instead it could be minute differences in ground/soil moisture or something else. Imagine a large Spanish cache burried along a trail. The dirt above the enshroud has been disturbed due to digging in such a mode that it alters the "behavior" of the soil. It doesn't drain besides or the surface makeup is not quite the aforementioned as the soil around it. This alteration is not visible to the naked eye. But using a special camera and noting variances in output could potentially highlight the differences enough to bear witness areas of "non-normal soil compactness/density/wet". I tin can definitely believe that this could be the instance. But it would have nothing to practice with auras at all. This could also explicate why natural gold deposits or smaller items are not like shooting fish in a barrel to discover only larger caches are (fifty-fifty from the air). I would definitely believe that this type of analysis would be worthwhile and has a lot of sound scientific footing.

It is very like to the idea of those "turf glasses" that some professionals utilize to look at lawns. When looking at a backyard it is hard to see minute differences in colour. If y'all put on a pair of specially designed turf specs yous can supposedly encounter diseased areas that aren't visible to the naked eye. Peradventure this is the same blazon of matter but with natural footing conditions around caches.

Midas,

This is awesome information that I for one would similar to try. Could you tell me the make and model of camera that y'all used, and what you used for the filter?
