Default dowsing with L rods

Hi Bert-Bert,I get a response straight away when I ask the wand wether its a YESor NO,SEARCH,and WHEN i ASK A QUESTION,ONLY THING THAT IS NOT HAPPENING IS TRYING TO LOCATE AND LOCK ON to a target,I dont do it mentally I ask out loud,I hope Im doing right,also the wand that I have is 3/16th brass rod,Ive also made a one out of fencing wire,Rods I can get to work penduklum I can get to work,so Im looking forward to seeing the video of using the wand and seeing how you operate,many thanks goodluck from Paddywhack.

Default dowsing with L rods

Hi BERT-BERT I looking at the site every night and when I read a post that your good lady was in hospital I hope she has recovered,last week I used the L rod in the vegtable patch and this has been done to the limits with every detector that I have bought,I got a good response and followed it up from 3 angles,got the detector and up came a sixpence coin dating 1956,next was a one pence piece modern and a half pence boy was I chuffed success ? yippee,come sunday the detecting club have a new field to detect,there is oyster shells showing so it could well go back to roman times but if the field is littered with the shells then it could have been a dumping ground for waste etc,so I really looking forward to sunday,any mistakes for poor gramar the wifes gone to bed early and ive opened the whisky bottle,have a good night and Goodluck from Paddywhacky.

Default Dowsing lesson #4

Hello Paddywhack:
Yes,the wife is doing better but she has a way to go yet,thanks for asking.
Ok on finding the coins with the L rod and metal detector,you are on your way to becoming a very good dowser.
By the way,when you are using the "wand" and it goes into the search mode do you turn your body in a 360 degree circle while holding the wand out in front of you??? you have to turn your body in a circle so the wand can find and lock onto the direction to the coins.if you stand still and not turn in a circle the wand cannot locate the direction to the coins,Maybe this is what you are doing wrong ---- keep me posted---BERT-BERT

Default dowsing with L rods

Hi Bert-Bert yes I do turn my body when using the wand.the wandI have been practicing with is made of fencing wire with a pigs tail 5 inches from the handle from the pigs tail its 18 inches to the tip,today I removed the handle which is a copper tube which I could load with certain items,then I bent the rod to make a handle silver and a gold coin were plced in various places,I then taped a silver coin close to the tip of the rod and then I asked the rod to locate the silver coins,first sweep,nothing,second sweep,BINGO,the lock on to the silver coin was unreal I could feel the pull when trying to move the rod away,the rod from the pigs tail to the tipwas curving towards the target what a feeling,then I located the gold coin and the lock on to the coin was Very strong,when I located the gold coin I was holding a gold ring,the wind today was gusty so Im well pleased that the wand or is it now a rod ?performed,one thing I need to ask you is the handle on your wand either soldered or welded to the wire,or is it free to move in the handle,one thing I did notice since I bent the rod to make a handle I can still get respones to a YES/NO ASK A QUESTION/SEARCHbut I cant get clockwise or anti clockwise the rod does move for clock and anti but only up and down,but thatI will sought out tomorrow,Ill make another wand this time with pigs tail close to the handle and take it from there.Goodluck FROM P addywhack.

Hi to everyone its gone very quiet in this forum,is everyone out practicing or given up,me ive been practicing with different lengths of wands that I have making now I have the one thats suits me,I dont know if this has happened to anytone else with the new wand with silver coins and gold coins scattered around the vegetable patch,when the wand locks onto a target I find that when I try to move the wand away from the target the wand then starts to shake and the pull towards the coin is really strong,look forward to your replies.Goodluck from Paddywhack.
