Thumbs up I have found that I can not

concentrate on 1 item while looking for points. Just to many thoughts wonder about in my head. I am going to try it on a shell hunt,civil war artillery. Think I will lay the detector down and give it a hour. Thats is the only place I know off that I would search for only 1 item.

Hey WVaTom...From your post I see that you are mental dowsing. The way it works for me is that the object emits a signal. With two rods I can only detect the signal in 4 places. North, south, east and west of the object. With one rod you can detect the object from any direction. You sweep the rod from right to left until you feel a drag. Then sweep the other way until you find the spot. Then follow the signal.

The reason I physical dowse is I had a lot of trouble with the mental part and my LRL requires me to physical dowse. If the rods will cross when you stand on a coin walk a a 10 foot square with the coin in the center and see if the rods cross for you.

I don't want any one give up....Art

Default I will never quit..

just way to many distractions looking for points. To many item's lying about in the way of flint and stone. when I look for shells in 1 spot that is all there is to be found. So I can concentrate on just 1 item.
