Thing, ask Edge to clarify. He is usually willing to explain.

Yes he is, not that it does any good.

That doesn't help much. How do you accomplish expenses? Do you mean discover enough gold to pay for expenses? You really think you can do that in a couple of days when you barely make enough to scrape by on?

And what does "remember pounds" mean? English currency? Pounds of gold? Dog pounds?

And which "reading" are you referring to? A dowsing try? Your books on the subject? Going to a fortune-teller?

Edge, you are an English teacher's nightmare.

I should hit the mother load this year as I now have a partner that owns the spot I was turned back from, by an angry individual on the opposite shore.
The ground has been resurveyed and the property lines are known.
Rather than have conflict I backed up and went to the spot with the five-dredge experiment took place described earlier on this thread.

I dowsed the spot last year and have to recheck it, but from the bank of the creek it seems to still be there.
I need to walk over it and see.
The water has to drop a little more, a couple of days or so.
This is the second best property in the area to be on, and I knew were I was going last year till I was stopped from dredging it last season.
So now as I suspect they’re to be certain loads in certain areas. We are talking pounds.
We'll see if I was right about that dowsing session.

I dowsed this area and it's still there and we are going to mine this spot.

BTW, if you find pounds of gold, you won't need Randi's million. I expect, though, we will hear another excuse about why you didn't.

He needs to find over 100 pounds to get a million dollars. Getting the JREF million is a lot less hard work IF dowsing works at all. Note the big fat "if".

My suggestion to edge is simple: Get your hands dirty and start finding gold! The gold price is high these days. Finding pounds of gold is much more likely than being able to dowse for anything under controlled circumstances.

Okay, let me take a shot at translating:

"I need to cover the applicant's--my own--expenses, and not the JREF's, so I'll need a couple of days in the dredging season, starting July 1, to find enough gold to do that. I should be able to find more than enough gold to cover all expenses in the area I am going to. Remember my dowsing suggested I would find pounds of gold there?"

Sometimes understanding what someone meant on these boards is almost as hard as understanding Elton John's lyrics.

Mother *LODE*

I do wonder about these mining 'experts' who don't even know how to spell their own 'holy grail'

'Lode' is a spelling variant of 'load', according to the Oxford Concise Etymological Dictionary; it isn't used except in 'mother lode' where both are acceptable.

The couple of days is up tomorrow, edge. Have you sent in your application?

Edge has given no excuses for failure. He has just run away. We can assume he now knows he has no ability.

Sadly, we can't assume that at all. Edge is highly resistant to evidence and logic. He is more likely to have withdrawn into a paranoid-delusional shell, fearing that JREF is trying to steal his invention from him. Yep, he's that crazy.
 
At least he had the courage to be tested once, though, unlike thousands of others who have extraordinary claims. Maybe he'll step up to the plate for a second chance. Wonder how many pounds of gold he's retrieved so far? We're days into the dredging season now.
 
Lets hear it for the Edgemeister, I thought he'd vanished while trying to clear his area of the US of false targets so that he could retake the test. I guess he finally cleared his town of all gold, platinum and precious metals, and has clearly given the proceeds to charity since he cant afford the gas or motels.

Edge, if you could detect gold and precious metal with any reliability you'd have no need of the JREF million. Dont give us guff about it sometimes being hard to dig up once you detect it, if you could detect it so well then you'd find enough easy stuff to convince people. You cant claim to detect it, then point to creek beds and say "start panning, it's in there somewhere". We know it is too. Why did you have to make a living by chopping logs when you are so confident of your supernatural gold-sensing stick that you apply for this test?
 
Kenny Belly,

It doesn't work when you use your god-given gifts for profit.
 
Edge, if you're checking in, tell us how you're doing at finding the pounds of gold. We want to know, and I for one promise not to mock or make fun of you, no matter what.

This spot that I Talk about might have been posted in the Seeing is believing thread.
I'll post it here.
I'll be back.

Edge, how are you doing?
 
I'm guessing he's financially strapped and real life is catching up with him in a way that $1,000,000 would help with. Either that or an irate English teacher has hunted him down and beat him to death with his own magic stick.
 
Either that or he has doused that gold and is lying in the sun on a Greek island.
 
I fear he will have found another problem, some outside reason for his powers failing him in the build-up to a test, and we'll not see him for a while as he tracks down the interference. Again. It certainly cant be his magic stick not working, that's just silly.
