Default Has anyone found anything yet?

Hey Guy,
I read about everyone going out and trying. I don't hear anything about results. I have tried some, but have not tried hard yet. I know it works for water and other items. I watched my grandfather find cows using a rod. Cut down on the riding time and sore butts. I've tried digging some things. Nothing the detector would ring on, figured you had to have faith. So I dug. I didn't find anything. It frustrating, but I know it works I've seen it!
I've never seen anyone find a cash or any money or stuff like that. I guess I just need a confidence boost.

LR

Default dowsing general discussion

Hello LaRoper:
Welcome LaRoper, We will be posting videos on the home page of Treasure Quest about the different ways to use the dowsing tools, Greg is working on them now,so keep watching for them.
I have dowsed and found numerous items,found some coins and also found 2 large nuggets with a small amount of gold in them,found numerous sites for the best place to drill water wells,found some rings that were lost,I use dowsing to pinpoint the spot,then use my metal detector to confirm the find, the metal detector works unless the item is beyond the depth of the metal detector....BERT--BERT

Hello Paddywhack:
Sounds like you got the movements for the wand,TRY this,place a money coin on the ground then step back about ten paces,Place an identical coin in the palm of your hand then grip the wand with the money in your hand,and see what reaction you get,the wand should start searching then lock on the direction to the coin,follow the direction the wand is pointing and when you are directly over the coin the wand should circle in clockwise direction----BERT-BERT

Hello Paddywhack:
Greg has run into a problem,Pappy and I used a mini digital camcorder when taping the videos,Greg has the tapes, I talked to him on the phone he said the tapes were too small to fit his camcorder to download them,He is checking with Radio Shack to see if they have an adapter that will work,In the mean time Pappy taped some short clips with his digital CAMERA,Greg will put them on the home forum soon. I am hoping we can get to see the tapes from the camcorder very soon-----BERT

Default dowsing with L rods

Hi BERT-BERT I have been practising with the wand and I tried the wand with a silver coin in hand with the wand but I got no response so I put 7 silver coins on the top soil and still no response ive tried this umpteen times and its getting very frustrating,I tried the same exercise with the L rod and it worked fair to say the L rod didnt have a strong lock on the coins it move with the wind and then found its way back to the coins,I still go through the routine of asking the wand A QUESTION,and the search mode,yes and no and I get a response straight away PLEASE HELP look forward to your relpy goodluck from P addywhack.

Hello Paddywhack:
Howdy,If you get the yes and no and search and waiting for question with the wand and you still cannot get it to zero in on the coin, I think you will need to install the master program,I will be posting Lesson #4 which will be the program,it will be posted this weekend-----BERT--BERT

paddywhack, Try this have a friend or family member hide something like a coin or a ring I have had no problem with wind unless it's over 15mph in fact the wind seems to help a bit. I think the fact that you know where the coins are laid is distracting your concentration.
The other day I was fishing at a pond, this pond was very remote anyway while I was waiting on a bite I got the rods out and found two dimes. I didn't have my detector so I had to sift the dirt to acctually locate them. I had a friend of mine ask" if this works so well why isn't everyone doing it." I said Well not everyone knows about them and just like a metal detector you must learn and know how to listen to them and with practice this can be achived. keep practicing I know you will get it.
