My today's dowsing finds.

[lesjcbs]

Here is a picture of my today's (April 1, 2016) dowsing finds. One pop atop ring and a piece of some kind of can. Not much for sure, but if dowsing does not work, then I should not have found these two items.



Practice makes perfect.



I will not post anything tomorrow, April 2, 2017 but will be back on Monday.



Stay tuned for more dowsing finds. Until then, enjoy the pictures.

Been reading with some interest.
To me this seems very easy to prove dowsing works. If the rods always remain tilted up above the horizontal axis, & still give 'a response' then wouldn't you have to say it worked? (assuming it beats the chance test as well.)

The person you want to prove that dowsing works is yourselves. Read this and give it a try... http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/dowsing/10838-want-try-dowsing.html
.....Does not cost you anything to give it a try....You maybe able to add another tool to you treasure hunting equipment.

I was referring to the moving left to right, then crossing, and so forth. Not the down "pulls". And the gravity that I spoke of, is that if the wrist tilts/rotates, even-imperceptibly , ever-so-slightly, then the down-side of that direction is where the rods tilt to. They are on hair-pin level-ness, after-all. So the slightest movement will move them left or right.

You bring up a good question. I was not referring to those that say they get a tug "down". I have only ever seen that in water-witching (where the tree-twig "pulls" down , supposedly). Does this down pull work for gold and silver to rods ? If so , then I'd love to see any links to this. All the metal dowsing I've ever seen, is where the rods move left or right, and you have to find the place where they CROSS, not where they pull DOWN.

... I would rather believe an article from a Scientific study than an article written by a Skeptic....

The link I gave you *IS* a "scientific study". Look again. And since when can't a "skeptic" write or conduct a "scientific study" ? Why are they mutually exclusive ? Isn't it actually MORE reputable when a "skeptic" is the one analyzing an issue/question? Because then that would only further-prove there is no bias going on. Yes I understand the "bias" can work in reverse order too.

But I'm not so sure you can say this was written by a "skeptic". Read again and see that this after-market-objection (eg.: "hostility" "bias" "skeptic" etc....) was addressed FROM THE START. See that those participating were NOT averse to it. They held open the possibility, open-mind, etc... at the beginning. Their "skepticism" was born as a RESULT of the studies. Not BEFORE the studies.

I read your link from start to finish. Please give mine the same treatment and thought.

Yes. In-so-far as any other "more plausible explanations" are ruled out.

The trouble is, people have done just as you say, and "tried it for themselves". And when it doesn't work, the results are summarily dismissed as not being valid, for a myriad of reasons that the faithful have at-the-ready.

You have to learn what the rods are telling you. They will act different for each. When you Dowse for water with rods they will act the same way as they do for gold....

My wife has tries to Dowse and nothing happens. It just will not work for her. From my tests 95 % of the people will get a reaction with the rod....Art

Art, do you have any links (especially videos) to a metal rod that gets a tug "down" for metal ? Versus the left to right movement, where you're waiting for them to cross ? If so, I would love to see it. This would be much harder to explain by "more plausible explanations". And I would love to take a look.

Les, I have had my hand slapped for commenting on this subject. For speaking the truth. I have an issue with your using bold and enlarged type in your posts. You are shouting. Waiting on you to receive your rules violation hand slap.

Kray. Sorry, no shouting intended. My eyes were blurring and giving me problems and I momentarily did that. I will correct my posts.

 

[aarthrj3811]

I have heard this explanation before. And I can accept this (although, humorously, it only confirms that the rods are doing at all). It's no different than a well-skilled md'r, or a well skilled nugget hunter, can walk out to ANY potential spot (a field, a valley, a stream bed, etc...) and look at the lay-of-the-land. And JUST BY THEIR GUT FEELING (based on much experience) can tell you the most likely spots that nuggets are likely to be in that stream bed. Or the most likely spot for coins in that meadow (Ie.: the most likely place the picnickers would have picked, or the campers would have camped, etc...). And they hone their md'ing on those "most-likely spots".

Just leaving to go hunting. I have a big target about 3 miles from where I received the signal. I have done my research and made my plan. Please tell me how I can know the lay of the land from 3 miles?...Be back Monday or Tuesday...Art

OK my friends, here are some pictures that will make your mouth water.

Sitting in my lounge chair, I said to myself: Self, get off your rear and go see if you can find something out in the desert while dowsing. I mean, you have been able to before, lets see if you can do it again on this pleasant Saturday Arizona afternoon.



So I loaded up my dowsing rods, my ever reliable Bounty Hunter Tracker IV metal detector as my pin pointing device, my large shovel (forget the ice pick) and my doggie, Ginger and off we went, up the dirt road of life..

After parking and turning my dog loose, who went straight for some range cows, I started dowsing. I walked for a minuted or so and my rods crossed. I went back to my truck, got my shovel out, and as I walked back to ground zero, I counted 55 steps to the target spot.


Upon arriving, I pin pointed the target again, then sunk my shovel into the soft moist desert dirt. I checked the hole. Not there. It is in the pile of dirt I dug out.

After looking in the dirt pile, bingo, out popped a spent long rifle .22 shell.


Now I have not owned a .22 rifle since I was a kid and that was a longtime ago and I do not own one now.

Enjoy these pictures. I sure do.

Dowsing out in the field with a metal rod is a hard concept for me to understand how it works. But pendulum dowsing on a map is just beyond my limited comprehension. I must say it looks like fun though. Do dowsers accept all methods of dowsing.... meaning there is a single underlying principal to dowsing or are there separate camps that promote their own dowsing method as being the only true dowsing? You know how cliquey metal detectorists can be with their favorite brand of machine. Is it the same with dowsers? I worked with a guy that would use two rods to find buried pressurized industrial water lines. He was pretty accurate sometimes, other times not. I could and would never put my faith in it though. I didn't want my guys getting killed by digging in the wrong place.

My ole' lady can dowse gold. About five years ago, I set about a gram nugget on the floor of her living room and they crossed (two wire coat hangers) over the vial with the nugget in it. The first few times, I was sceptical when she did it, thinking she knew where it was and she would subliminally have them cross, so I stuck it under different areas of a long living room runner rug she had, and had her go into the bedroom while I hid the gold in different places under it. Sure $hit, they crossed everytime she walked over it.
When this tread started, I had her do it again. One rod points to her when she goes over gold, even some vials I have with flakes in them. She had her wrist fused and plated two years ago, and that wrist doesn't work (as far as the rod moving). Earlier that day, I was going through some material that I had in some buckets that were washed in my concrete mixer that I classified down to 12 mesh that I hadn't yet ran through my Quicksand concentrater. I had her walk up to three buckets that had my cons, and the one rod pointed towards her again. I also walked with the buckets in my arms towards her, and the one rod pointed to her again. She was standing completely still when I walked towards her.
I ran my cons from those three buckets the next day, and I found a few pinhead sized and smaller flakes in each bucket. I know what I saw, and I have no reason to make this up. So needless to say, I believe some folks can dowse for gold.

So I've been dowsing for a while. I had my daughter put 10 objects around my yard,surface placement, rings, pennies I Found all objects except one quarter. I also use one rod, safely, while I drive. I tell the rod to turn left or right ahead of time so I can make a left or right turn. I think old coin or something of value. Two days ago it led me to this vacant house I have never really noticed but pass all the time. Metal detected there found a 1902 Indian head penny, a small silver bracelet and about $2 clad.
I found a 1887 Indian head penny, it pointed in the direction and I found it. Damn it I ended up losing it, but the rod did point it out to me.
Ok, I'll admit that I am embarrassed to use them during the day and in public. None the less dowsing works. L L. Those are my what I call them dows and rod. Ok thanks. Have a great weekend all. Happy ,dowsing, detecting. Dave
