Tip #13: Increase your body conductivity. Before ingesting anything, talk with your doctor. Electrolyte drink or powder to your drinking water. Or add a pinch of sea salt to a glass of filtered water. Dry skin does not conduct well, Use moisturizer or moisturizing shower wash. I have added some olive oil to bath water. Dry, rough feet might need some work.
Tip #14: When using two L-rod while circling the transmitter pick a spot out in front of you a ways and look at it as a distraction. This is very helpful to take your mind off the rods. Don’t be cheating and watching the rods. When they move you will know it.
Tip #15: Healey Double-Crosser sweep technique. When doing a sweep put your thumb on top of the left L-rod so it will not move. Put hands together so they are touching each other and as you sweep in a right direction just keep 100% of your attention on the left, dead rod. Watch where it is pointing. When you are aimed at the target, the right rod will move and start to cross the left rod. If you sweep in the left direction the free rod will open up more when you are aimed at the target. This is my favorite technique. Because your hands are locked together it keeps the rods very stable and it is easy to see when there is a response.This has been very reliable for me. Yes, I miss now and then and sometimes I do not get an exact aim, but it is a real confidence builder especially when things get bewildering out in the field. This is fairly easy but you really have to put 100% of your attention into the left rod. The right rod is right there in your vision so it is easy to cheat and peek at the right rod. Remember you will be cheating yourself and nobody else is going to know or care, but you will be losing if you do.
Tip #16: When standing on the signal line it feels like a smooth wind or very smooth water flowing through you to the target. Actually it is electrical current.
