I use a tfr rod here in the UK that I bought from a chap there that makes them. I then use two small dowsing rids like your using when I'm over the target to get an accurate depth reading of the target as in many cases the target is deeper than what the detector can see. The two rods will cross over the target then you slowly walk away from the target and the rods will start to separate and at the point where the tips touch place a peg below and then measure the distance between the target spot and where the two rods touch tips. This will give you the target depth ! :) hope this helps guys it's how I find many of my targets here in the hills in England:)

A guy he knew was a dowser and he had him come out and he walked the property around the house and on the opposite side of the house he got a strong signal; stronger than any other he found. Where the old well was he got a strong signal so my Grandfather had the water well drilling company drill at the spot on the opposite side of the house and they hit really good water at 50'. Say what you will but it made a believer out of him.

I used them in Texas in the oil fields to find buried oil and gas lines before we trenched (saved our lives a couple times because they didn’t know the gas lines were there and a trencher rips them open easily, if the wind is blowing towards your air intake on your trencher and you hit a gas line the motor winds up until it explodes there were two company’s that lost guys that way when I worked there) I’ve also used them to locate stressed post tension cables in concrete floors (for plumbers and electricians that missed the walls and had to move their lines ) never tried relics but if it’s buried you can find it with rods, there are times you get a false signal for whatever reason so it’s not perfect but it does work for me thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

There is no way to make the weighted string go slanted and pull or manipulate it like you could do with these rods based on wrist or palm movement.

Dowsing takes practice. If you have material the same as what you are dowsing for you can attach a small matchbox or similar to one of the rods and put the same material inside. This helps keep focus on the type of material you are looking for. If you are looking for a lead bullet, attach lead to the rods or sometimes just holding lead in one hand or in a pocket is enough. Staying focused on the type of object being dowsed for is everything and the minute you doubt yourself or the process it weakens the receptivity between your body and the rods.

Chigg, you need to have a piece of gold in your hand touching a rod. A gold wedding band would be fine but want to find gold nugget, well you need to hold a GOLD NUGGET. The rods need to sit into a piece of pipe with a cap on the bottom so that they can be free of any pressure tension or friction from moisture in your hands. For instance take a piece of copper wire wrap say like the handle of a hammer or the handle of your socket wrench driver handle. And make sure that your end of The Wire double backs on itself up in the bottom. And pull the copper wire part a little bit and then drop the dowsing rods into your Carpenter spring coils handles that you made so that the rods can move freely

I'm a believer. My grandfathers well went bad when I was around 8. Him and my uncle played around with some and I saw them doing so of course I wanted to try. I'd mark a spot the rods crossed with a little rock or two and keep going. Turns out I marked out an old water line from an old pump house to the garage. I also marked a spot they drilled that had I believe 40 GPM water. They ended up finding a spot around 120 GPM. Pap told me a few years later that marked out that old water line and I was shocked lol. 8 year old me was just excited to be doing something new to me and interesting and I was happy because I thought I was finding stuff. This was 22 years ago so we didn't really have phones to play on and gaming consoles were in their young stages. I believe it's a bit of a deeper connection. I don't thinking everyone can do it, I doubt I could still have that same success as when I was young. Just know that there's more to everything than meets the eye. Also we called it water witching.
