Halo Effect - WTF !!!!

[CrazymanBrad]

There's no such thing as a halo effect....the only halo you will find is the smear of BS around your mouths !!!!!

ps....jk, methinks the nexus coil design thread has gone a wee bit OT.....

Hi,
probably you never used a metal detector in your life or never dug an ancient item of copper or other metals.

BTW I suggest you find a good doctor for your... ehm HALItosis !

Kind regards,
Max

I read stories from many forums where metal detectorists find evidence of halo when they dig ancient coins and when they dig gold nuggets. This makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the tests that prove it does not exist. Did anybody test for halo on an ancient non-ferrous target that has been buried for more than 1000 years and measure the difference of detection length? The tests I read seem like maybe they don't account for some of the possibilities of halo.

I know no scientific basis to explain why there could be a halo for non-ferrous buried targets. But how can science prove it does not exist when hundreds of people are reporting that they see it? Maybe there is a correct scientific reason why people see halos that has not been found yet?

Best wishes,

Greetings MAX !

I'm guessing, you've never read my "ps" statement in my posting....

jk = just kidding

I was just trying to point out that the Nexus coil thread seems to be getting frightfully off topic... I knew someone would be trolling for halo comments...hehehe.

I actually believe whole heartedly in the halo effect....I have used a metal detector, but you are right in that I've never found an ancient item.

Cheers,

CMB.

Hi,
oh sorry, I didn't understand your joke. Now is everything clear.

Yes the nexus coil thread is full of halo now !

Also to me the effect is strange and cannot explain why it happens... just have some ideas about.

I've found ancient non-ferrous items, it's not so rare for me and so see it many times with my eyes, that's why I'm sure it exist.

Kind regards,
Max

Did you know that if you shade the target from the Sun with the detector coil the signal becomes louder. If you detect from North to South you get less interference from the Earths magnetic field. The Halo effect is Gods way of helping you find what you arte looking for.

Hi,
you're another joker !?
Maybe you understand of gold nuggets (maybe)

To see the HALO with your eyes have to change place... you can find kangaroos there but can't find any ancient metal item buried.

Let the people here that find those stuff tell you that it exist... not always... and one way or another... who knows why !? But it's there.

And when you see it one time you belive in it forever.

You have to belive in the power of HALO!

Kind regards,
Max

[Max]

of course, there are many kind of halo...

BTW I find really interesting the one in the picture below...

very relaxing !

[CrazymanBrad]

what kind of metal detector is that he's holding in that picture ?

looks fairly compact.....

Hi,
well... from the shape.... I think that could be a new kind of LRL... you know that also HALO is an important part of their ehm... "theory of operation" !

Kind regards,

OK Max, halo effect good for MD, but bad for electronic LRL! Democracy

Hi Esteban,
my friend... ehm... don't know how to say...

"Ehhh!!! Of course, and this is the reason why electronic LRL acts good with old targets. I found a couple of 34 copper coins –25 mm diam each– and comprobe how the surrounding earth was affected by copper migration... like electrochemistry, galvanization of the soil! This enlarge the size of the object/s. Maybe is not viewable in an only coin, but yes with 34 corroded copper coins...

Non ferrous causes more halo than ferrous. In aparience ferrous causes more because targets iron in general are more bigs."

Think you and him have to find a gentlemen's agreement.

The "halo effect" was invented by Fisher to sell his early detectors. The only time a non-ferrous object develops a significant halo is when it is in extremely corrosive ground. Ferrous objects develop halos, but the halos cancel out the objects.

Good point, except that hundreds of people are also reporting that they've seen ghosts and UFOs.

Hi,
yes, that's true. Many reports of UFO and aliens... and no proofs.

but you can see with your eyes halo effect if you use a sensitive e.g. VLF detector and find ancient (e.g. >1000 years) nonferrous items.

I've seen it a number of times and effective one not impressions by myself. Other people were with me in some of this searches and saw it too.

But of course... I think too that there aren't scientific proofs of that.

Just the phenomenon shows and seems exist... then you dug stuff and find you can't detect in air at same depth you found it in ground.

Kind regards,
Max
