  • This is the story of Mr. Louis Matacia and Mr. David Villanueva. They discovered that a special Polaroid camera with a infrared filter could see treasure auras. David was able to use this technique to locate and find several iron age gold coins....With a polaroid.... But does science back this up?

    This is VERY TRUE. I Found My Gold Mine here in Arizona taken on a Polaroid Camera 15 minutes after Sunrise on November 19, 2023. The Humidity must be 55% or higher. When I took the picture the humidity was 91% after a rain storm the following morning. The Gold mine is a Epithermal Porphyry Quartz Vein Deposit that also carries Silver. Much of the gold is a combination of Electrum, and it is RICH !

    I’ve read an article long time ago, don’t remember where, about some guys in South Africa who were looking for treasure in the dessert, and were finding good sized nuggets using thermal cameras mounted on drones. Apparently this can work in that area because during the summer days the temperature is over 100 degrees, and drops suddenly and significantly upon sunset. They were using the drones right after sunset. I don’t know if the story was true, however, it makes sense somewhat, since a thermal camera can detect temperature differences even between empty voids in stone walls…

    I have been a photographer for 45 years, 0ne day l was metal detecting in a field in Berkshire England and had very little in good targets, after 3 hours in the field l had had enough of finding rubbish and went back to my car to leave, just ten yards from my car l saw a polaroid picture on the ground and being a photographer l pick it up and looked at the picture, the picture showed a view of the field l was in ,there was a small dip in the ground about a hundred yards out in the picture, so l thought l would go and detect the dip and very first signal about 9 ins down l found an Iron age gold stator .
    That evening l was going through some old metal detecting magazines when l found a story of a man who found gold by taking a polaroid picture of the field he was in and detecting an area in the picture that he was drawn too .

    @oz-corner8281 Před 28 dny +5

    As an avid detectorist and also a past post/grad applied physicist I have considered a number of scenarios which may influence remote sensing of metallic objects. There’s a halo effect where conductive (metallic) objects at depth will interact with surrounding media over time to alter/increase a target signature. Helps when looking for deep conductive targets at the beach e.g. old silver coins. That’s not what we’re looking at here! Metals also have high thermal conductivity, so you should be able to detect an infra-red delta around e.g. a silver object as it absorbs heat from the surroundings - that said; in the ground over time these temperatures would be fairly constant so likely no dice there! Hand-held xrf spectrometers are used by geologists in the field and combine an x-ray source with complex sensors and analytics to provide a reading on the material composition. Expensive and typically held directly against the target being analysed. Lots to consider, but a clunky Polaroid!? Hmm…

    After googling stuff (so it's very conclusive research🤣) I have came up with a theory: Gold deposits in soil with time create bio/geochemically formed nanoparticles which get dispersed and transported with evaporating water to the surface. Gold nano particles are quite effective in triggering molecular ionisation upon photoexcitation (surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon). During state of SPR those particles often have red colour. 🤯

  • @EcoMouseChannel
    @EcoMouseChannel Před 5 dny +2

    Actually, there's is already tech that can find "treasure" via their unique frequency signal. Exactly like the guy said, the longer the item is in the ground the larger it's signature becomes. A freshly buried gold bar would be nearly impossible to find using the frequency method. But if it's been there many years, it creates its own energy field. Like a cathode/anode relationship with the surrounding soil. Emeralds give off their own unique signature frequency that's decidedly different than silver and so on.
    The devices are pricey... but hey, if you are already metal detecting, and treasure hunting, then you'd probably have heard of them and are secretly squirreling away your finds in order to pay for one, and never tell a soul you have it. Because if it's bunk, you don't want anyone knowing you dropped $15k on a Sci-Fi gimmick. And if it works, you certainly don't want anyone to know you found El Dorado on your last trip to the jungles of Peru.

    Metals do leech into the soil on a microscopic level over a long period of time. That's why it is easier for a metal detector to pick up a silver dime buried 10" deep that has been buried for many years. Than a freshly buried silver dime. The metal that has leeched into the soil creates a larger target for the detector to recognize, the longer it has been buried. However soil conditions can affect this condition also. Some soils may not be as acidic, therefore reducing the leech affect on buried objects.

    I know someone who has taken pictures of locations suspected of having large amounts of gold in them. Every photo would have strange orbs in the pictures. Other pictures wouldn't have them. Strange makes one wonder for sure.

    I must admit that despite the fanciful part about a camera as a suitable tool for the purpose, today infrared viewers can make effective thermal scans, but not to this extent.
    The argument makes sense as far as isolating the ground temperatures where the object or objects are buried and that this means losing scanning efficiency in the sub-layer.
    Just as for conductivity relative to mass and composition, so for radiated heat, something massive, could be detected even at discrete depths in less hot hours, with a more conspicuous heat signature.
    Back in our typical dimensions, I highly doubt that rings, coins or necklaces could radiate a trace that the sensor could effectively detect.

    Hi Merrill back in school days late 70s I spent 3 years in photography today I'm still into it so here's my thoughts on it
    A good knowledge of the inner workings of a digital camera will reveal that unless the treasure emits LIGHT or electricity, the CCD chip is simply not capable of picking it up. Of course if it emitted light, we wouldn't need a fancy digital camera to see it, and we'd all be treasure hunting at night

    There are some archeologists that are using "ground sonar" to find buried objects. Basically bouncing sound through the soil and using receiver equipment to pick up reflected signals, similar to using metal detectors but they are looking for all objects under the surface, not just metallic. It is very slow and takes special equipment. They also use similar technology for oil exploration in the ocean.

    The precious metal elements are probably being leached into the soil, and the plants are absorbing them. The metals in the plants could be causing this effect. The plants are more active cellular wise/electrical wise during those sunny warm hours. The electricity combined with the metals in the plants could be amplifying the "aura". This would explain why the "aura" gets stronger over time. The mere heat wouldn't do that unless it's getting hotter and hotter; which isn't possible. Unless he buries his test metals in winter.
    Edit: The suncould be heating the metal in the plants, so the heat theory is possible, too. The plants could find it useful, so they keep absorbing more.

    I'd rather use my grandpa's dowsing rods, those I know work as far as finding water. Never tried to find gold or other metals with them. Maybe I should give it a try, who knows . . . . . .

    • @MetalDetectingNYC

      There are several fascinating videos about finding treasure with dowsing rods on CZcams. Including one by my XP colleague Gary Blackwell: czcams.com/video/bbwo0YCpV3E/video.html

    • @KenLord
      @KenLord Před měsícem

      if you dig deep enough anywhere, eventually you will find water. Dowsing ALWAYS fails when the dowser is forced to only get information from the dowsing rods, instead of using their experience and other senses. Dowsing appears to work because the dowser, whether they are aware of this or not, makes the rods respond where they already know the rods should be responding. There are large unclaimed cash prizes available around the world for anyone who can actually show the dowsing works.
      Notice in the video ... the camera guy never shows us what the scene looked like before he hid the gold coin. Because it would have looked the same. He's calling the response a gold aura because he knows the coin is there and that he 'should' be getting a gold aura. The aura is getting stronger over time - because he's gotten better at processing the underexposed images, to stretch the noise and weak sigals into a brighter image. Or because he's just intentionally processing it to look better.

    Military satellites can use infrared to tell if the ground has been recently dug up and filled back, which happens when parachutes are buried, latrines dug and buried, graves dug and buried. It is due to the fact that digging up the ground disrupts the moisture distribution making a temperature difference that can be detected in infrared. I would guess metals that conduct heat well could make a temperature difference in the ground compared to ground that did not have the metals. Great video!

    I’ve noticed when editing digital photos I can find things in dark areas that I can’t see in the original photos, during recent Northern Lights the sky was black but my iPhone showed a lot of colours that my eyes couldn’t see. Couple of years back I went out at night to get a picture of the moon, on the field I went too I couldn’t see the colour of the grass I was stood on. However the pictures showed the grass colour similar to what I would see during the daytime, the camera & iPhone sensors see so much more than I can. Photoshpping pictures a few years back I could see people in the background that didn’t show up in the original pictures.

    So what might be happening is a lot film that was produced in that time was not safe, due to the process in which they came up with in developing the material for making the cartridge film was highly radioactive. Early 80’s Kodak almost went bankrupt. But the key here might be is the elements in the film have all those properties as the woman was explaining.

    I believe there is one small error or my memory isn't perfect.
    While exposed "color" film that has been developed, from the old days, may indeed act as an infrared filter I am very confident that it is the exposed and developed "silver particles" that is only found in black and white film is actually a cheap, high quality infrared filter that has been used in a multitude of scientific research endeavors.
    Then again maybe there is some missed quality of filtering that is inherent to over exposed color film that makes it better than the old B&W... ???

  • @richardbeee

    One of the ways big mining company's find ore deposits is by fly over prospecting. I met a pilot years ago that found a nice deposit of placer gold. Big nuggets. The mining company decided it was to small and to filled with controversy to mine. So, when his retirement came, he went there himself and brought back lbs. Of gold. There is an aura that different metals put off. I've never heard of using a Polaroid tho. The cameras they have are heat and spectrum sensitive. Gold is red. Copper is blue. Iron is yellow. I don't know all the colors only what he told me. So it can and is done all the time. You can even burn and assay trees to find traces of gold that can lead to bigger deposits. Same with water. I've often wondered when they're looking for these big ship wrecks why they don't take water samples. Silver oxidizes in salt water and even forms chlorides. So they are to an extant, soluble. PPMs would increase the closer you got to your target. Thoughts.

    Similar topic but a different methodology. Q, if a dogs nose is incredibly sensitive, can a dog be trained to smell gold 🤔. Dogs are used to smell for drugs and have shown the ability to smell cancer cells. Apparently, after I researched the topic years ago, I found a video on a guy in Switzerland (if memory serves) that trained his German Shepherd to do just that! Also noteworthy as a gold panner, I can tell you the earth gives off a certain smell when you're in good gold bearing soils.

    Geek out! That was fascinating and you did have to suspend disbelief a bit but... If by chance he's correct imagine a day soon maybe 20 or 30 years into the future or you have a different class of metal locators that have nothing to do with metal detection in the sense we know it today, instead checking for auras in the ground for the right type of metals. Just as our ancestors would probably be completely bewildered and amazed by a metal detector we use today, I imagine we would be bewildered and amazed by the methods they'll use in the future. I for one, hope he's right. 😉

And then also go to a public area such as a beach a field Park And find even just some silver.

    The thing is, he’s just describing what a real metal detector does with sound, except unfounded by any real evidence. Judging by the photos, he just reduces the exposure to almost nothing or bumps the ISO up really high and the result is the cameras computer processed the hell out of it and using the very limited information it got from the sensor to create an image. You can easily recreate this with any modern DSLR that has full manual control. You probably don’t even need any lenses filters
