Oh joy of joys!!!!
Unbeknownst to myself and to Randi, an applicant whom we had thought had vanished months ago, Mr. James Blunt, has re-surfaced and been tested by SDARI in San Diego.
His application arrived in June of this year, which I accepted.
I then put him in contact with SDARI for preliminary testing. So far as I am aware, there were no real problems in mutually agreeing upon the test protocol. He seemed fully confident that his LRL (Long Range Locators) was going to make him one million dollars richer.
However, a day before testing was to take place, the applicant called to say that he had "hurt his foot", and would be a no-show.
That was the last I'd heard of it. Until this afternoon, when I received the following email from Keith Taylor at SDARI (or rather, Randi cc'd me this email HE just received from Keith).
I am hoping to get a link to the specific test data as soon as they post it on the SDARI website, but until then...

Hello Randi,
Some time back I was contacted by a fellow from your office named Kramer. I'm not sure if it was his first or his last name. In any case, Kramer asked that The San Diego Association for Rational Inquiry (SDARI) do a preliminary screening of James Blunt. Mr. Blunt claimed to be able to discern low radio frequency emanations from various types of metals, and to determine where the metals were.
After a couple postponements we had the screening yesterday. It was conducted by SDARI president, Richard Uhrich, Bertha Taylor (my wife), and me. Robert Shaeffer, who helped James Randi on another experiment years ago, video taped the whole thing.
The agreed protocol was for Bertha and I to randomly place a penny, a nickel, a five-dollar gold piece, a silver dollar and a hunk of aluminum, one each, in five bags. Then Mr. Blunt used a home made sensing device to determine which was which. He had three tries to conduct this experiment.
I must say the results were astounding and it looks like you're out a million bucks.
Mr. Blunt was right on the money two of fifteen times.

This is very exciting for me. The third test in 7 months.
Wow.
