Hi Sig: Me again. I know you have me on ignore and that is OK. Others will see this post reply any way.I will admit the biggest complaints about the MFD type equipment has centered around the L-rods. Of course what I am building does not use L-rods--it has an electronic receiver. You hold up the antenna and when it is pointing at the discriminated target it beeps much like a metal detector only much greater distances. I practice with a half-ounce silver and I can pick it up from 75 feet usually within six inches. I mean a metal detector sometimes can't even get that close. LOL
Anyway, I somewhat jokingly refer to the L-rods and pendulums as MITAS--Medieval Implements of Torture And Superstition. Anytime you have a device that uses a swivel (or bearing) handle (or even a solid handle that turns in your hand) that relies on the movement to get a response you will have much sorrow. Start at age five and practice every healthy day until you are thirty years old and you will have reached your plateau. That does not mean you will be good, that depends on how much effort you put into it. Learning some form of meditation is essential to using any L-rod type equipment. You can learn it as you go and be so-so or you can take the time to do it right and practice every day for many weeks and you will learn so much faster. Most people never get the L-rods figured out. Others like me spend 35 years and still struggle. So don't buy the B.S. that a swivel handle device is easy to learn. Anybody tells you that is a con man and a fraud.
So when you practice, you can pick up a half ounce piece of silver at 75 feet. WOW, that is great. My very first long distance dowsing shot in the field I tried with my L rods, I hit a target at 90 feet and I did not know it was there until I pulled it out of the ground.
Using my "L" rods that you see in my avatar, I just picked up my gold college class ring at 125 feet. Some time ago, I went out into the desert and picked it up at a much greater distance. It was so far away, (about 100 yards) I had to put a red cloth on a near by sage brush to denote the location.
I recently started map dowsing with other L rods I cut in length to fit my computer screen and dowsed out a rust tin can approximately 207 Miles away from where I live. Surprised the the heck out of me when I pulled it out of the ground. Will your new LRL perform like that?
