"So my preliminary conclusion is. My Lrods led me to a rock. I removed the rock and the rods didnt cross. There was gold in the rock. I tried panning a bunch of material from a random spot, there was no gold."
Chrspe, might be a good idea to stop places with your L-rods to dowse for samples containing gold, anywhere you have or can get access in this part of the Bighorn range close by (starting from your property).
The method you used to find your good rock is excellent. I've had one rod start moving off to the side a little plenty of times. If I move my hands farther apart, one rod points to the target and the other swings back.
Now the opposite happens if both my hands are moved closer together (but not touching). I will pause so I'm not walking if a rod begins to move off to the side. Moving then my other hand closer, the other rod usually swings around to point in the same direction (of the target as in Fig A).
Parallel rods cam both work together, much like when a dowser uses a single rod. It is better to not be walking for this technique, more for zero-motion type dowsing. Being directly over a target doesn't matter, rods can cross standing still or if a large enough target while walking above it.
Good Luck!
