Back when I originally connected the L-rod I also tried to connect two L-rods, left hand rod connected to negative battery pole. When I was doing a box-in search the left rod seemed to be blocking the signal. It doesn't seem like much difference to connect wrist strap instead of L-rod but it frees up the right hand rod to be able to swing in either direction. No doubt I can sense the F.G. signal going through the wrist strap when the L-rod is aimed at target, at least at close range. Not sure 85 ohms is safe enough, guess I need to measure volts and amps and calculate how much power is going through me. I am a bit anxious being connected to the wrist strap. If something happened there is no way i could remove the strap fast enough. Maybe I could drop the rod in needed, but i don't know.
