I've been at this a long, long time and I have no idea what you are asking about here.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

By "4 metal rods" do you mean 2 pairs of rods, each pair held by one person facing each other, a rod in each hand forming a 'V' with the base of each V lightly touching? The direction the rods unbalance and fall is supposed to indicate the direction of the target. They have different types of rods for detecting different types of targets (gold, copper, iron etc). If this is what you mean, it is a common form of dowsing and the dowsers believe they have charmed the rods to detect a very specific target.

About a year ago, I was challenged by a pair of such dowsers in front of the land-owner of a site. The dowsers claimed that a section of the land contained a valuable target of gold. They did their dance with the 4 rods and marked out where the target was. I then booted up the nokta, ground balanced it about 20 feet away and scanned the same area, no gold target detected, only a cavity less than a meter down (the earth there is riddled with basaltic rock and mudstone conglomerates). The machine will show non-metallic changes in soil mineralization as a cavity, be it a rock, real cavity or even tree roots if they're thick enough.

Long story short, the dowsers smirked and proceeded to dig their target. They found a rock. Dissatisfied, they dug further down till they hit clay. Don't waste your time with those 4 metal rods.

Hi,by dowsing my humble opinion is than it not necesary works only with metals it will respond to voids, water and other geophysics
forces. I have some land on the desert and I picked up an attraction but my white didnt register I also own a gemini 111 and it was also a negative, out of curiosity I digged about 4 and half ft, as I was going deeper I undugged a few soft little like rocks with some glitter inside of them I reached caliche and the atrraction disapeared, on  the other hand I have found a 5 gallons bucket cover at arround the same depth in another location with my rods.this time my geminni 3 was able to picked it up, so I learned to be patient
cause they are trying to tell u something. I only use 2 rods.
