A story about "remote" dowsing methods
I been a cop for a long time, but never did hear much about Dowsing, except when my grandpa did it to locate a well site on their farm in about 1967.
Then the other day I was at one of the local parks just knocking around with my MD, when this guy on a bicycle who had been collecting aluminum cans out of the trash bins came over and started watching me. After a few minutes, he starts asking me if I ever used the "Pendulum Method". I said no, so he proceeds to tell me how he can look at a map and figure out where there is treasure. He asked me if I wanted to "partner up" to TH but I told him I MD because I like the solitude. He didn't get it. Then I told him I like to relax and just let what comes do so. I said if I am concentrating on a specific goal it wouldn't be relaxing anymore. He just stared at me. So of course I asked him why he was riding a bike and collecting cans if he had such a valuable ability and he said his "consortium" had found millions of dollars worth of treasure, but it was tied up in litigation and government claims. He said he would locate something for me to prove his ability. He pulled out and held a pendant/necklace to his forehead in both hands, then moved it to arms length and waved it back and forth slowly (not like a pendulum). He said there was a small, silver ring 3" deep under a certain tree, so I walked over to it and checked where he pointed. I got a signal in the general vicinity, so I notched and probed it. I told him from the reading it was a coin. It was a good, strong, clear signal, but small, so I knew it was probably a dime. He said his pendant told him it was a quarter. I flipped it out and he saw how small it was and said "no wait, it's a dime". I cleaned it off and what do ya know...........
So on the opposite side of the tree from where he directed me I got another signal. It was slightly broken but fairly clear. I knew if it was a ring, it was not pure silver. I notched the reading, then spaded out a divot. It was an old pull tab. Since there was no other reading, he started saying he had been right because it WAS a "silver(colored) ring". Then he said he would have figured it wasn't a ring made of silver if I hadn't been so hasty to get to it (WTH
). I told him I needed to get home, so I went to my truck, loaded up and drove around the block while he peddled off with his bag of cans strapped to his bike rack. When he was out of sight, I parked in a different area and went back to MDing in the park. Next time I'll just handcuff him to picnic table till I'm done THing.
I saw the Dowsing section here and thought I'd share my story. I read the posts about map and pendulum dowsing, and I can't help but wonder.......... if I could divine the location of treasures by dowsing, I definitely wouldn't be wasting my time on some computer forum talking about it. After the first mil, I'd be living on the beach in the Virgin Islands..............
But I WILL feel pretty 'stoopid' if I see a pic of the can collector guy in the newspaper in an article about how he just got rich.....
