About L rods

[nourddine2010]

Hi everybody;

becomes of the Prohibition of using any metal detector in my country; i tried to use the L rods of copper 3 inches in diameter and 60 inches long . I dowsed several sites and i had the "X" in many ones; i always bait the left rod with gold; the question here is how can i determine the precise site "0 point where i have to dig" the target and its deep.

please help me with your experience; and thank you in advance

Hi There,
Let's start with the L-Rods you are using?
3 inch diameter x 60 inch length
Is'nt that a bit heavy and cumbersome to use?

YES AS YOU SAID ITS TOO HEAVY AND CUMBERSOME TO USE . SOMEONE RECOMMENDED THAT TO ME AND HE ADVICED ME TO ADD 4 MAGNETS IN THE TOP SIDE OF ONE ROD TO OVERCOME IRON.
WOULD YOU PLEASE GIVE ME AN OTHER METHOD ?

How can you be using 3 inch diameter x 60 inch L-rods? Am I missing something here??
I could see this working if you were the size of a grizzly bear but I don't think that is the case.

Are you having problems with iron?
How would you know if you can't use metal detectors?

The commom size L-rods are 3/16 inch diameter brass rod measuring 15 inches long (antenna) x 6 inches (handle)

Do you have a practice piece of gold along with your gold bait? (2 separate pieces of gold)

A few years ago I did test using 3 foot long Rods..I found that the Rods responded to length the same way a CB antenna does when you trim the cable to match the standing wave length to the radio… I tried the rods until they crossed when standing on a target. I again trimmed the rods until they opened and closed again .I measured the rods every time they closed…to my amazement I found that for my body type each 8 and 3/32 inch that I cut off the rods would again close..I did the same experiment with my son and found that his body type is much different than mine so he needs a different length rod..Art

For the new dowser I think it is important to be accurate with the rods. What the rods are made of and what kind of handles and how long they are is important. The most important thing to me is body position. You need to find a repeatable body position so that when you are on the target and the rods are crossed you can mark it.

When I noticed that I was digging some big holes to get a little gold I decided to work on the problem. The first thing I did was place a silver dollar on the floor. I put the heel of my boot on it and held my rods out and they only closed part way. I moved my arms back and forth and the rods opened and closed. I moved my hands in and out and they opened and closed.

So...I found a position for my arms with my hands 1 inch wider than the rod length. The position I chose was my arms at shoulder height and out as far as I could push them. I could repeat this position every time. I decided that I would use the front 1/2 inch of my left heel as my marking spot as I could reach it without hurting my back to much. I then started using a dime as my target.

The next step was to trim my rods so they were crossed and locked when my heel was on my spot and my arms and hands were in position. When on the target turn in different directions and adjust your feet as needed. Hope this helps some of you newbies.....Art

Yes, those would be very heavy. I just weighed a piece of copper last night and it is fresh in my head. It was 1" dia X 1" long and weighed 3.1 oz

so roughly a 3" dia X 60" rod would weigh about 105 lbs EACH

being as he is not from an English speaking country I believe he meant to say 3mm X 600mm (I could be wrong) that would be about 1/8" X 24" which is much more in line.

You can devise dowsing rods of all imaginable dimensions untill the cows come home, and until dowsing conditions are favorable to using dowsing equipment you will never obtain zilch from your rods, no matter what length or thickness they are.
Even when dowsing conditions gradually improve to when 2012 becomes a starting point, you still have to know how to hold the rods and when to use them.
Untill solar flares which power dowsing rods become more common over the next year or so as part of the normal 11 year solar cycle, I wouldnt hold my breath on a dowsing session before then.

Art will naturally tell you that dowsing is not mentally controlled(to keep in the limelight) but what he knows about mental dowsing would get lost written on the back of a postage stamp) and only confuse beginners, Max

Your right Max…I know little about Mental Dowsing..Art

Art the funny aspect of you being a non dowser is that you are a dowser but as you became interested in dowsing to the point of attempting to dowse over the past 7-8 years when mentally dowsing has been impossible and as you had never dowsed successfully prior to this , how could you compare what you have never experienced.

The very fact that you have complained of headaches when attempting to dowse has caused you to say " not for me " when actually you were dowsing but not obtaining a response at a non dowsing period. A headache is normal response when dowsing with no solar supplied EMF . I have experienced this headache many times untill I learnt not to try dowsing when I would not receive any response. Art you are going to wet yourself when the correct climatic conditions come along. Max

There you go again Max..The only time that I have had a problem with headaches was when I was attempting to learn how to use your ”Look down Rod”. Yes I failed at getting past the headaches..Was I able to see a picture of what was below the surface? No I was not. The only thing that proves is I was not able to use your methods. I have also failed at using a few other methods..I am happy for you that your long wait may be almost here..Art

Even your self incrimination will not stop you dowsing when the time is ripe. Max

Rockhound, you are spot on with your observations , I too commenced dowsing in the 1980s with amazing results. May 2004 was my last dowsing weather as the solar flares which power our dowsing ceased. I expect dowsing to return in a day or a year from now which is the centre of the present solar cycle of eleven years.
I noticed in good dowsing weather that i cannot dowse for very long as my mind goes blank. I dont know how long it would take to recover as I noticed this anomaly on my last weeks of dowsing in 2004. As i dont want headaches i will wait until good solar flares are around before I rely on them.
