Hi Bert...
I was reading alot of threads this afternoon into the night about Dowsing and of course your 3 segments, and find it fascinating, so if you dont mind I'd like to tag along...I decided to make two L rods out of coat hangers with wooden handles and I'm amazed how they moved about without any thought...I know NOTHING about Dowsing but will learn from your lessons...For starters I just sat in a chair and held them the way you described, and was amazed how they moved on their own...I was pressed for time today so really didn't get a chance to apply the procedures the way you explained, but I will...Keep the lessons coming, they're GREAT...

Boobird...

Default Dowsing lessons #2

Hello Paddywhack:
Hello again,man I hope you will get a day with no wind so you can use your L Rods,but like I say after learning to use the rods,Please learn to use the Wand "bobber" you will have no problem with the wind then.
"WOW" that silver coin you found that dates back to 1272 sure is a great find and may be worth a lot---keep me informed on your progress and keep reading the dowsing forum,there are great lessons coming up---Bert

Default L-Rods

Bert-Bert
I have just really started using L-Rods to find objects. I was curious last week, while my wife was shopping, whether or not my L-rods would find a 35 mm film container. I got a container out of my jeep and set it in a tree and walked about a 1/4 to 1/2 block away from the container and started concentrating. The rods started responding immediately. The right rod would always keep me on track with the left rod remaining straight. When I got into the general area of the container, straight in line with the tree, the rods lined up with each other. If I moved either left or right of the tree the right rod would move me in-line with the tree and the rods would go back to their side by side alinement. The rods within about a foot of the tree crossed. If this is an indication of how well they work I am going to try to find a geocache that someone has hidden without me knowing exactly where the cache is located.
I have yet to purchase any of the rods that I have. Lately I have been cutting my rods from display cartons that have a stand used to display rain coats. All I have to do is cut the stand in two pieces and cut the wire rods to size and dress up the ends. I work in a local hardware store and should have an endless supply as long as we still get the product.
Anyone wanting rods should check out their local hardware store and see if they have the same type of display.

Hello Bert Bert
I have been following this post of yours with a great curiosity. Just last week I was at a friends shop where I live , he has a spot at the local flea market where he sells metal detectors , rocks , coins, treasure magazines and gold prospecting supplies. I noticed a pair of L rods on the wall and asked about them. He then gave me a full demonstration. I had heard of dowsing but never got into it. He laid a book of silver coins on the floor and said to himself or ??? to the blue . "guide me to the silver" . He gave the rods a quick twirl as he said to "transfer the energy to the rods, then stopped them and he said I concentrate heavily on what it is I want. The rods straightened out to a 90 degree angle to his body and he walked forward. I was watching the rods and as he got closer to the rods they started to bend inwards to his hands and as he got over the book of coins on the floor the rods went parrallel to each other in front of his chest. SPOOKY to say the least. But what a lesson. I havent got the nerve yet to try it but got the material. I am going to give it a try now after reading your lessons.
