Thanks l'll give a look. can you give the title? Hopefully I can help you.
Dowsing for Gold using L-rods | part 1
Several different ways to use L-rods. I like to walk around the perimeter with one rod pointing off to my side. The GDI-detectors video shows holding two rods a foot apart and doing a”double sweep”. My version is to push my hands together and clamp my left thumb to hold the rod immobile and do a sweep while watching the dead rodJust aim with it as yo do the sweep but most important is to NOT watch the right rod. Your conscious attention to the moveable right rod will destroy any chance you have for success. Some people just can;t help but cheat here, like Lott’s wife, she was told not to look back but she did anyway. My guess 99% of all failed dowagers cannot get past this. When the left rod is aimed at the target the right rod will start to move. Take your mark, then move over a ways and repeat.
I posted about the double sweep like GDI many years ago. I called it the “Healey Double-Crosser” sort of in the pirate genre. But I much prefer pressing both hands together and locking the left rod with my thumb..
I’ve used many rods over the past 43 years and built several different styles. I used some old rods that were sticky and sloppy and I had to shake them back and forth a little with sweeping to break the friction. I don’t need to tell you how easy that is to miss a target. Never noticed it until I got a nice set of rods. It really is a confidence builder. One thing I know boo matter how much you practice, when you get out in the field it is all-too-easy to get overwhelmed. You need the best chance you can get.
Are you referring to one of this vertical compass that you walk around with? They are mainly for veins, etc.
Never see them around. Large deposits only.
Yes, that is what I do when walking the perimeter, just one rod I
Yes, this where dowsing experience shines!
Took me years to figure out the pure focus. It's so easy to get your conscious mind involved in the search. WILL NOT EVER WORK. If there is any one key to dowsing this is it. You see my two rod sweep is really a distraction to keep your mind off the search by just aiming with th e left rod and letting the right rod respond without any conscious input. Sounds easy.

You see my two-rod sweep is really a distraction to keep the mind off the search by just aiming with the left (dead) rod an letting the right rod respond without any conscious input. Sounds easy, looks good on paper, but for some reason people just get fixated on the rods and you’re screwed.
Before anybody gets too excited, this video was only as demonstration on the technique—I was not hitting on a gold target in the video.
