lost gold masonic ring;

If you can use a pendulum and the lost ring is in your home, holding it in different rooms could cause a response pointing in the right direction. L-rods, you can hold a single rod at the bend, so it can't swing and scan while holding the other rod, allowing swinging. Pointing at a target with the non-moving rod, other rod swings toward the target also. Some dowsers get a spinning rod, whatever works for you. Really any responses you can understand will work.
 

If you hold both L-rods so that each one can swing...this response is possible with zero motion dowsing. No motion dowsing is scanning moving your arms, but not walking.

Walking or motion dowsing, in a north/south or east/west direction can help you locate targets off to your side. Some dowsers only get a signal off to their right, it can be either to your left or right.

Going past the target signal slightly may produce this response...rods point parallel from opposite directions.

If you've gone past, just back up to where the rods are crossed again. Turn toward the direction you think the signal is coming from walking a step or two. Wrong direction the rods stay crossed. Right direct should bring a spreading of the rods. Take it slow, just a small step forward observing how your rods react. Stop immediately if rods start spreading.

Here is another pinpoint response method, when approaching the target walking directly toward it. This can happen before over it, rods will cross then, evenly as centered above signal.

Getting from where the rods spread, to the target may take some time. To check whether you are still moving in the right direction, stop walking for a moment. Lean to your left or right side, step once to your right or left if needed. Hold the rods close together. If the rods cross, move a little more, the rods respond to show at what point you begin an off course path.

Now that the off point is established, keep rods close together while moving back on course again. You should still be standing yet at the same lotion or not walking yet to the target. Rods now look like this as standing still.

Once the walk is started toward your target, a spread rod response may happen if only one step is taken (from crossed rods). Parallel rod scanning is another zero motion technique, can be done while standing still. The target is located from a distance, hold rods close together.

Hi; I am fairly proficient at l rod dowsing and even a willow stick. I have lost a masonic ring how can I get l rods to help direct me in the right direction to search? Thanks for any help. Bob

Hi Bob,
My suggesetion would be to picture the gold ring in your mind. Ask the rod/rods to show you the direction to the ring as you apply the rod techniques Red_desert suggested.

It is hard to say it all in one thread...as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. If your ring is outside in a yard, you could walk around without following any particular direction. Here is a method for rods crossing over gold...this shows dowsing for a gold placer deposit.

If you walk over gold, the rods will cross. The direction of the walk wouldn't matter because gold is under your feet. Like the gold placer illustration below. Most washes don't run a true N/S or E/W direction. If they do, not for long because a dry wash will have turns and bends, plus change course often. Walking down in a wash, rods cross directly over gold approaching from any direction. It works the same way for a ring whether it is gold or silver.

Gold caches and placer gold, the rods give a parallel from opposite directions response when leaving the edge. The rods remain evenly crossed while over any part of a very large target. A small target such as a ring, the rods shift to remain crossed directly over the ring, unevenly if needed

Well, that doesn't show the wash course, try this illustration. Above a wash you can walk a grid following a N/S or E/W direction. This method would also work faster for you in a lawn for a lost ring. Then the ring would be off to your side. When standing over the ring, rods will cross. Fig M shows a first reaction before rods cross. If you stop the moment something begins to happen with the rods, a left or right rod tip may move back and forth slightly. It could be you're not quite aligned to a N/S or E/W direction (if only one moves), but this is ok. Moving forward slowly will cause the rods to cross.

There is a big difference between responses if standing over, and then backing up from small targets compared to larger ones. Backing away from a ring, the rods will point to the target or be crossed at the tips. Gold placers, large caches, your rods may be as in Fig J at the edge, that is parallel but pointing from opposite directions. Moving farther away from a ring the rod tips become as in Fig A, parallel and move to stay in line with the target.

Bob,
Would you be interested in posting a picture or sketch of your property to dowse and see if someone picks up an attraction to your ring? Then you could check the spots with your metal detectors.
