Is this a metal detector?

[D00gles]

Hi, I'm new here and trying to figure out a device I have. It's been in the family and I've always been told it was a metal detector of some sort. I don't know how to use it, whatever it is. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It looks be an old type of dousing rod.
Know anyone who can find water. These usually worked well in their hands.
It has a Caduceus coil on the shaft. A counter wound coil folding back on its self. I'm curious how the larger coil is wound. To get it to function how it was designed.
You'll need to carefully remove the worn out insulated wire and carefully rewrap new wire in exactly the same way. And the exact length. And exactly the same guage wire.
Someone experienced in wrapping coils would be best to do this. Maybe find someone who repairs antique radios if you want it restored.
The glass chamber has materials to enhance and focus it's ability to sense your target. I believe this one was meant for gold finding. Little bits of gold foil and Crystal's appears to be inside. Don't break it. No real values inside. More value as it is.
Could also have value as a collector's item. Reminds me of a long range gold finding rod.
I would be interested in what's in the metal tube with the handle on it. Some were battery operated and most had crystal oscillators. No power source. You are the source of energy in that version.
Here's a short explanation of a caduceus coil.

A video of a modern one in use. He has more videos.
You may ask him what you have. Don't part with it until you find it's real value. Be patient.
Do more research.
Some of these old ones were really special.
Most today I feel are a gimmick.
Honestly I'm not sure. Just what I've read thru the year's. Good Luck ...

Here's a few modern version long range detectors.
Some say they worked best with those operating it having some psychic ability to sense gold thru the machine. Or to make it function properly.

It don't look like anything being sold today . Let us know if you truly find out what it is .

Thanks will.. I've only searched 78% of the internet. Haven't yet run across anything really resembling this. Maybe a Marvin the Martian space Modulator or Buck Roger's tool.

Can you open the big tube the handle is attached to? Definitely circuitry inside.
I wonder if it beeps or vibrated ?

Try searching European sites.
Most were made over seas.
And let us know what you find.

HEYO! I am soooo exhited to tell you what this is! But first, please let me give you some background.



So, turns out, extra terrestrials were and are real. This, I am pretty sure is some sort of energy gun,.



Even though this is clasified Information, I am telling you it because the Illuminati is real and they keep secrets out of fear and corruption, you do not have to beleive me, but please at least just listen.



I know how it works too.



Try looking up caduceus coil, the longer section of the musket is that, then it leads to an AC transformer, and an organite.



Please also look up organized on

and on Video Advice.p

Even Ancient Alliens point out that the Egyptian pyrimids of Giza are organites, but they do not say it.

Sorry if I do not know how to insert the link properly, I am new here.

After the current passes through the organite, it gets focused by the cone-shaped barrel and in the back should be the power supply.

I don't know who manufactured it, but it is a variation of the "Electric Flashlight Treas-o-meter” which appears in the 1938 book, “Doodlebug Edition of Treasure Trails” by R. J. Santschi:

I have one that is similar:

On mine, the rear tube holds 2 D cells that power a little light bulb which flickers as the rod flexes. The handle is hollow and folds back. The witness chamber on mine is opaque and I've never opened it. In the one D00gles has, the witness chamber is glass which was commonly done in other fraud devices to excite the purchaser (gold!):

Invariably, the gold-looking stuff is pyrite and the device is just a dowsing rod.
