coughtbscough.

Pseudoscience for the win? Treasure auras... lol


On a different note, a far stretched (and when I say far stretched, it's a really really REALLY far stretched) plausibility is the use of IR images to find changes in landscape that may be visible to the IR images. For example in a dessert where the top soil layer doesn't change because lack of rain etc, if a hole was dug, there might be a different soil from several feel below ground that may not be on the very top (even though the visible color is the same, may show up differently on a IR image). I'm highly skeptical of even this, but it's not as far as saying treasures emit auras that can be captured with digital cameras, lol.

What a bunch of hokum. He's using the video to sell his book.
Where he dug up the gold was not the center of the "aura", or even the brightest part.
And notice that the "Aura" was the part of the lawn with the most direct light.

IR can pick up treasures... of a sort. It can see earlier cave painting that may have faded or been painted over, due to a paint color's different wave length.

Right, that's the same concept I explained regarding picking up on variations of soil on the ground where a hole may be dug up....

BUT the video posted is babbling about something completely different, and how he's using the camera to see "treasure aura" the article that talks about the camera seeing "electromagnetic radiation emitting from the treasure and metals", yeah right.

I wasn't trying to support the silly "aura" link. Your post reminded me of a college professor who discovered wall paintings that weren't visible to the naked eye, when he shot the cave walls with IR film. I was really just expanding upon your post.

Makes me wonder about the spots I see on my face with web cam, they don't show in the mirror so maybe sun damage I'm thinking.
