Yes, with L-rod dowsing in a good area, places with nuggets should be picked up first from far enough distance away. Veins or mine shafts tend to be the strongest signals, then nuggets, followed next by tailing piles. At close range even better places with fines can give a good signal. If you are down in a gulch walking with rods, locating placer deposits will be easy. You will need to learn from your rods when they cross..... 1. If the target is directly under your feet.  2. Or where off to your side the target might be found.  |

A dry wash, where your rods cross, there could be a lot of quartz rocks containing fine gold. You can tell how large of a deposit, because L-rods stay crossed while directly over it. As the edge of the placer hot spot is reached, the rods should swing apart. If then a person would back up slowly, right on the deposit edge might bring a response of parallel rods pointing inward or from opposite directions. Some dowsers can tell the depth of a deposit, by the interpretation of backing off responses (moving away from placer edge).  |

Walking above a wash, crossing the line of field from a gold deposit (down in the wash bottom) you might observe the rod tips making small movements before crossing. With experience, there could be several types of rod movements indicating nuggets. Part of dowsing is learning how your rods react in all situations (might be different for somebody else). This illustrates how a pair of rods, might spread first before becoming crossed, if the signal source is off to your side. Here the right L-rod might even swing off right also, before hitting the field line.  |

In motion dowsing (walking with rods) targets have a line of field either north/south or east/west). You should notice this even if not walking exactly in line with cardinal points. Personal experience is the best teacher, but by first reading books (or Internet research) on the subject will help. In the end being in the field testing the info, will shape your practical dowsing habits, for getting good results in the real world. A target can be directly under your L-rods, but not always or it can mean a dowser is walking past. Then the target would be off to the right or left. Attachments:

Standing still (zero motion dowsing) by moving the arms while holding L-rods, can be used to scan for distant targets. Triangulation seems to me the best method. On far away targets (especially the larger ones) a line of field may have a margin of detection on both sides. Back and forth movement or triangulation can be repeated often, until getting close enough for other methods.  |

Parallel rod responses, happen when both L-rods lock in on a target. I find for myself, this response can be held better, if both rods are carefully moved closer together. Standing still or zero motion dowsing (as I call it) with only your arms doing the moving. Cardinal points will be less important in zero motion responses.  |

Here is a short video on dowsing with L-rods for native gold.

Often videos are gone by the same time next year. Going to add a couple screenshots to show what happened in this dowsing for gold video. This one is short, only 3.49 minutes. At 0.23 minutes the tools are shown here (gold pan, small digger, probe, looks likea crevice tool, and a pair of simple L-rods).  1.27 minutes both L-rods become parallel and aligned must be pointing in the direction of gold.  Says 1.33 minutes "no metal in the ground yet" the text on screen, note he is now holding the rods very close together while each is parallel to the other.  |

L-rods start to cross at 1.43 minutes (after following the parallel rod responses).  Then the evenly crossed rods are used to pinpoint the native gold. This will work if you first used the responses to lead to the right spot.  A scoop of dirt must be put in your pan, to check for any color.  |

Pan dirt from where the rods were crossed, gold should be found if in a good spot.  He obviously had enough practice before making the video.  Should only take a few minutes to find gold (in a productive area). If no gold is found, try better gold placer location.  |
