hello
reading of 25 pages is awesome! after one hour of studing this yopic i really get confused.Can any body summerize for me :
1- is this method effective?
2- how can we use digital camera?
3- is there any experience?


Hello,

1. The method is effective particularly if used for precious metal caches or large deposits.   
2. Basically you need to fit an infrared filter in front of the camera lens.  Since digital cameras are much more susceptible to infrared than film cameras, digital camera makers have gone to great pains to stop infrared reaching the sensor so some cameras may not work.  Here is how you can check out your camera.
The basic requirements for testing are:
A buried sample of either one ounce (30 grams) of relatively pure gold or two ounces (60 grams) of relatively pure silver.  By relatively pure we mean around 90% precious metal so 22 carat gold or sterling silver (92.5%) will be ideal but if using 9 carat gold then you will need around 2.5 ounces (75 grams). Bury your sample in open ground or a planter for at least 24 hours.
Infrared filtering medium in the range 720nm to 1000nm.  Digital cameras are extremely sensitive to infrared radiation and have to be fitted with an internal infrared blocking filter to prevent most infrared reaching the sensor.  There is much variation in the amount of external infrared filtering necessary to photograph auras.  Too little external infrared filtering produces false color infrared photographs and too much filtering results in pitch black images.  Auras are photographed between false color and pitch black.  The most reliable but more expensive option for testing is to buy either a 720nm infrared filter, or a range of filters, from a camera equipment supplier or Ebay.  A minimal cost approach would be to use the black leading ends from exposed processed color film, which has infrared filtering characteristics (one sheet is approx 720nm; two sheets approx 850nm and three sheets approx 1000nm).  These are the film pieces that were exposed to light (unless the film was loaded in a dark room, in which case the leading end pieces will be clear) when the film was run out over the sprockets during loading into the film camera.  As most popular film is 35mm and some lenses are larger, you may have to mount the film in a slide or between thin card in which a suitable central aperture has first been cut.
Fix your filter material in front of the lens (try snug fit and leaving an air/light gap) then photograph your sample on a warm day, preferably above 13 deg. C / 55 deg. F with the Sun behind you.  Adjust the level of filtering until you achieve a dark image that you will need to process with enhance, fix or gamma increase using photo editing software.
3.  In the 1990s the US Government financed the building of an infrared camera for locating buried metals and the camera did locate a vein of natural gold and at least one cache.  Louis J Matacia was successful in locating gold and silver using a Polaroid camera and I personally have recovered gold coins worth several thousand dollars as a result of aura photography.

I have a specially modified IR/UV camera that is tuned just to see those frequencies and which specifically ignores visible light. I may give it a shot with this tool since it is not just a camera, but also does IR/UV video. Will see what I get with it ;>)

This never happened. Nice try.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Oddly enough...FoxNews caught Matacia's partner "palming" targets when they did a story on Matacia and dowsing. Why would such a successful person feel the need to lie to the media?  Well....we all know the answer to that.

Carry on with your sales pitch, David
