1640 and the only thing in the world that I don't believe in...

? I'm pretty sure 1640 really Existed.



Not sure how, but I know Dowsing works for water.
& since it works for water , I am open minded enough to believe it works for
other things to. But I do believe the Dowser is as important as the Rods being used

My father has been in the excavation business since the early 70s. It was necessary for him, before beginning excavations in city areas, to be able to locate water, sewer and electrical lines underground before excavating, and he has used dowsing many times to do just that. He used to keep two metal rods in his truck at all times. Now there is a phone number you can call before you dig, but there didn't used to be. I know dowsing works for those things, so, as Jeff said, my mind is open to dowsing working to find other things. Many years ago, my grandmother talked about using witching sticks, as she called them, to find water. She said she preferred to use a peach tree branch. A few years ago, my husband's grandfather cut a forked branch for me and showed me how to dowse for water with it. That branch was nearly ripped from my hands as I came across water. I became a believer in that moment.

What does it mean by "ground" hazel? Is this article talking about a hazel nut tree? Sounds like they might be talking about a seedling tree.

Hey Jeff. I did some testing years ago with forked tree branches. They worked for gold but would only respond just before I stepped on it. With my rods I could pick up the signal from ¾ mile away. So I do not use that method

I used to use a forked tree branch to dowse for water but now rely on the two "L" Rods.
