Oh yeah, I can recommend practicing with underground water first, before attempting cave sites. Although from my experience around mine shafts out west, the rods usually will point at them while you are still far away.
Walking over placer gold deposits and having your L-rods cross over water in the ground, responses from both to me seem about the same. Our basement after it rains a lot, will keep pumping out water that collects under the floor. There is one spot an area which is at the opposite end of basement as the pump basket. Walking with a pair of L-rods they cross there and stay crossed if you take a couple more steps. I like to count down in feet (saying 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft) continuing until my rods uncross. Let's say the rods uncross at the count of 25 ft, then cross again at 26 ft, 27 ft, 28 ft. My interpretation of these responses would be to assume the water is found beginning 26 ft ddown.
