The electronic receiver seems to be more accurate than L-rods for me. I heard the dog is more accurate "when he wants to locate". I suppose it depends on the person (or dog).
There's a big difference between sweeping for a target and walking across a signal line as far as accuracy is concerned. Sweeping and then walking towards the spot is notoriously inaccurate. You might walk a ways then get a rod response to a different attraction while the original target lies further ahead.
GOLDFINDER made a good point about human interaction when using L-rods. A person's emotional state plays a huge role when using rods. L-rods aren't the only tool affected by emotional state. Using a metal detector is a very good example. One MD author talks about how your ears hear what they want to and not necessarily what is really there. I've mentioned before that taking aspirin might help a person, and sometime a nap can really help. The breathing technique is probably as good as any. Take a slow breath though your nostrils for five seconds (speed up right at the last half-second), hold for two seconds then slowly exhale for five seconds. Even just a few minutes of this can be very helpful.
