If it's not a 6, then take one step in any direction, and again throw the dice. Only dig if it shows a 6. Record how many objects you find and how many empty holes you dig.
Then go out and use the rods, and again record how many objects you find and how many empty holes you dig. If you spend a full day doing both activities, in order to get some statistically significant results, you will find that there is no difference between the two.

Exactly, that is what you will find. Also, if you really want to experience the truth about what is happening;
leave the metal detector at home. Dig only where the rods indicate a
target and do not double check the spot with your metal detector. If you do this many times, in an area that could have some viable targets in it, eventually you will dig down and find something that could be considered a
target. However, if you keep track of the totally empty holes dug and compare those to where you may have found a
target - you will once again come up with pure Chance Results. That is, you could have found the same number of targets just by guessing where to dig next.
Sorry, but that's truth of the matter, and any other concocted interpretation is strictly as was already stated;
...a trick of the mind.
