If you are thinking about purchasing one of the rod type LRL’s or MFD’s I think the first thing you should learn is if you can use a set of L-rods...If the rods will not react for you then forget it.....Try this web site.

The dowsing signal is different than the one produced by a LRL but the rods will react to both signal lines...Art

Now if the rods have reacted for you I have another experiment for you...You can use a walkie-talkie or CB radio for this....Take the walkie-talkie and put it on channel 7...This should be 462.7125 MHz...Tape the talk button down and lay it on the ground...walk between it and a gold target...the rods should close on the signal line.....It is not a very good LRL but it works..they eat batteries fast......Art

You should give more complete information if you're bent on perpetuating your myth.
In the U.S., normal walkie-talkie's channel 7 is 27.035MHz on Citizens Band, and FRS channel 7 is 462.7125MHz.

What myth am I bent on perpetuating?......Art

Full Definition of MYTH
1
a : a usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon
b : parable, allegory
2
a : a popular belief or tradition that has grown up around something or someone; especially : one embodying the ideals and institutions of a society or segment of society <seduced by the American myth of individualism — Orde Coombs>
b : an unfounded or false notion
3
: a person or thing having only an imaginary or unverifiable existence
4
: the whole body of myths

So the more than 50 owner operators of these devices that have reported on this board and all the people they have sold their finds to are all in a Myth and don’t know what they are doing....Could it be you that is trying to keep a myth going?

Anyone who has followed the instructions in the first two posts know the truth....Art

Now that you know that the rods will react and that you can locate gold it is time to study the different options you have.....Study those ads to determine the range and depth that would be of benefit to your needs....You have to remember that most of the older units were made to fit the manufacturers needs...Some were made to locate long time buried treasure etc...so you have to be aware of that...Now talk to the manufacturer and ask them a lot of questions...Now comes the hard part of your decision....Insist on a hands on demonstration or at least find someone who has one that you can try...I have traveled to 3 manufacturers place of business to get a hands on demonstration...With the fourth unit I found a unit to try as the travel was out of the question...All four of them have paid for themselves....Yes I have made a mistake as one of them just had to much range to suit me as I got older.....All four of them are still in use with no problems with their durability.....You will be able to search large areas quickly and see more of our country and have a better chance of finding something of value to enjoy....Thank you for reading my posts......Art

Never thought in a million years I would agree with the skeptics.

Gotta side with Art on this one.


If you are thinking about using a rod type LRL......... think harder (as Art's posts indicate).


But, at least they've got the L-rods. If you are thinking about using a non-rod type LRL, you've deprived yourself of the advantages of ideomotor response, all you're left with is chasing circuit drift and/or environmental electromagnetic phenomena that have nothing to do with gold buried at a distance, and trying to deceive yourself that it must somehow really be working when you've already proven to yourself that whatever it is that it does, it doesn't locate gold buried at a distance. Ghosts without ghostbusting. Never underestimate the power of denial.


It's the principle of ordinary human self-pride that keeps gambling casinos in operation. Somehow, everyone who enters walks out a winner, and yet the house somehow still stays in business! It's a miracle! ........Professional investors invest in casinos, but none invest in the proposition that everyone who walks out the door of a casino has winnings that there's a way to take a cut of. The people who sell "advice" to gamblers want their money up front, they don't ask for a percentage of the winnings. The gambling industry is built on the proposition that the average person will believe themself to be a winner even after losing their shirt, and the LRL industry is built on that same proposition.


Now if you want to read the story of how L-rods (dowsing or LRL) are worthless, read Signal's own posts, in his own peculiar way he's telling it like it is. So when it comes to the matter of what Signal says between the lines, gotta side with Signal on that one. With some misgivings: I don't regard dowsing as entirely worthless.

I would not be surprised if that whole calculator thing was an elaborate skeptic hoax.

That guy has been pushing those calculator on a stick for how many years. You got to wonder if he is the owner.
