Could you elaborate on how you converted the phase shift into a precise direction? Just a linear mapping? Or did you "hone in" by adjusting the stick until the phase shift disappeared, then proceed in that direction?
Not the OP, but the phase shift of a known frequency can be converted into a distance (portion of a wavelength) which can then be used to triangulate between the two microphones, yielding a vector to the target.
