Yes.....but, outdoors there can be a lot of distraction from other signals at close range. I would start off away at least 300 feet or more, try from a couple different directions. Once the location is picked up, much easier to follow to the spot. You might also, since your experience is dowsing for water, do it the same way, substituting coins for water as the target. With treasure, often the rods will cross as you walk past, it could be off to the left/right 30 or more feet. A 2-box detector is a good option too.pops46 said:Thanks Jon....Like I said I have been witching (thats what we call it )water and sewer lines for years using L rods. Some guys can't do it and say it don't work..I always prove them wrong...I just got interested in dowsing, this was my first. I used a pendlum and found this. With both you and red_desert saying coins are there, I feel like I might be able to do this...This is where I found the coins..can you locate coins with L rods, or do I need a detector??

I will let you know how it goes.

I started walking around got a pull so I followed it,went right over the one earing right to my toolbox.... A little more pratice and I was hitting my targets as I stepped over it..tried the pendulum its working also. a little more and I can move outside this is so cool!!!!!!
