Red X for coins, blue circle a silver attraction, most likely loose coins.

Thank you red_desert...I was close to where you said with the red x..I got a cache of coins and maybe jewlery. So that means that my other map is also corect!!! On the other map I got caches of gold and silver bars and coins in 5 different spots, one spanish.
 

Hi pops46,
Dowsing revealed coins in the red boundary area.

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??

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.

Hi pops46,
You're welcome. I'm glad you are wanting to learn more. It is possible to find the coins with L-rods w/o a detector, but you will need to learn how to pinpoint with them, like I mean knowing for sure that when your foot is over top of them when your rods indicate your "yes" answer.
I practice on single coins quite often by having someone put one under a small carpet, and in warmer weather I practice pinpointing single coins out in the grass. I like to use the metal detector to check after I dowse, it's just fun to me and a good way to learn if my dowsing is being done correctly. Plus on windy days it can be difficult to pinpoint with the rods as good as on a windless day, so I get a good area to search from the rods, then check it with the MD, it's still quicker than searching every square foot of the land had I not dowsed it. So as a water/sewer line dowser, all you are doing is replacing your usual routine and putting a coin routine in it's place, one difference is that coins are'nt a linear feature like the water/sewer lines. The coins attractions are of course much smaller than the utility line attraction, but still an attraction. get some coins and practice on them, learn how the rods feel when they give you a reaction. I would suggest using dowsing and a detector to start with when looking for coins and see how it goes. You may or may not need the MD after awhile.

WOW!!!! thanks for the tips...you guy's are great..I'm going to start around my yard put some coins down and see what happens. Here in oklahoma it's always windy,so I'm kinda used to that. At work we have a stick locator,so I don't know what a 2 box is...I'll let you know how it goes...
 

pops46, there is something I've found works really good too. Take your metal detector to a park or a lawn with coins. Locate a coin signal using the detector id. Don't use the pinpoint on your machine, rather take along a pendulum perhaps the same one you dowsed the maps. Hold the pendulum over where the sweep was made with the detector. If a coin (dime, nickel, or better), other treasure is there, pendulum will start swinging, then pinpoint it. If the target is trash, pendulum won't start swinging until you ask where the target is located. Whether trash or treasure, it can be located. Lincoln pennies (unless double-die errors), dates minted since the wheaties, might be hard to get a dowsed treasure response on a single coin especially the zinc. Map dowsing, pendulum starts swinging in the area of what the search is being made for, works the same way outdoors for treasure. The L-rods can be practiced with then, actually both pendulum and L-rods can be used in the field.
 

pops46, you're getting good info. i might add one little thing i have noticed with my rod, and that is, i practice with coins in sight
and i have noticed the difference in a gold coin and a nickel. the gold coin makes the rod swing better and all the way left, and the
nickel is slower and the rod does not go all the way around. it will stop on about 45 degrees.
it may not work the same for you but that is what jon is saying. find out for sure how your rods act on different things.
good luck

I tried last night to dowse a quarter on my garage floor. I walked over it but only got a medium hit on it with l-rod, so I put down 3 on top and still the same. So now with the info you guys are sharing, I will try again. Again thank you all for being so helpfull!!!! As I am new to this I never expected such great people,and info. I will let you know how it goes.

For clad coins, it may take a few of them in one spot to get a good response....reason being, the value of the target. Another way signals get filtered by the dowser (whether consciously or unconsciously), is by the perceived value of an object. Add to that how much a dowser feels the need to locate a particular target, plus confidence can also be a factor. Working with the rods often can build up your confidence, as positive results are experienced.

I like to keep my coins in drawers, boxes on shelves, etc. where you can't see them. Have fun!!! :thumbsup:

Hey pops46,
That sounds good. Keep practicing that. Then have someone put the quarter on the floor under some newspaper so you dont know where the quarter is. Go and get 2 -36" dowel rods or wood lathe stakes. Then have your l-rods in the ready position. I'm assuming you're holding them correctly with your elbows lightly touching your sides, not sticking out like a chicken. Then sweep towards the direction of the quarter by turning your upper body slowly from right to left or left to right, continue sweeping until they respond, grab the dowel or lathe and lay it over the newspaper in the direction you were facing when the rods responded. Walk 90 deg. perpendicular to this line and do the procedure again, then feel around for the quarter and see how close you are. It's a lot of fun and it helps you learn how to intersect objects when in the field and it also helps keep your mind on what you are looking for but not "where" it is.
Hope this helps,
Jon
 

I was off today so I took some of my wifes earings out with me. I took one and put it on the floor, and put the rest on my toolbox. 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!!!!!!
