Dowsing Rods and a Ranger Tell Examiner
I have had success for a lot of years. I still try everything I see or read. If a part of it works better than my system I put it in and use it.I used a LRL before I knew anything about Dowsing. I still use the rods that came with that LRL, I have shorted them to 14 plus inches and they are 3/32 brass..The parts to Dowsing are...Locating signal line, Locating the source by making sure you do not dig where another signal line crosses it. Knowing when you have found target, Checking the depth. I always dig into a 5 gallon paint bucket with a 1 inch screen on the top. I check each screen load for big things before I dumping it, When the bucket is full I dump it away from the signal lines and in same pile, then check it for gold. When I find the target I always check the hole. If I have found a signal in the tailing's I can go home or put a 1/8 inch screen on the bucket and put the tailing.s though it then go home or go find some running water.. Art
