I just went to see the runestone last Saturday. It was very interesting. But further more I have found out that my own Great Uncle, Gil Moe, had done very much study on the runestone and much more on it's location.
This isn't a distant relative in literal distance, but he wasn't very close to our family. But he had done very much study on the runestone, were it was created and found, and much study on other land for purposes relevent to this subject.
Mainly he used these dowsing rods. But he, along with a man by the name of Leland Peterson who is still living, were able to map out the camp of the vikings, the graves of the 6 goths and 4 Norwegians (please excuse me if that is incorrect, my memory doesn't serve me well) and other land features such as the ocean shoreline. They were also able to record the exact births and deaths of all the vikings that were here.
There is a document written by Leland Peterson, but to my knowledge it isn't published. I am going to contact him directly and see if I can't, somewhere, find a copy of it. My grandmother had copied about 20 pages of it. But I believe it is called, The Kensington Runestone-an oceanic view...or something. I believe this document should be published, it fully proves the authenticity of the runestone by showing the exact location of the viking settlement.
But I had no idea that Gil had done all of this, I never was in contact with him very much. He died a few years ago though, so I do not have the honor of speaking with him on this subject but I'd really like to study what he had gave so much time to do.
What information does anyone have on these dowsing rods. I still know very little about them. But once my father did not believe that they actually worked. So he sent Gil out of his shop (he's an autobody specialist) and threw a quarter across the shop. And then Gil came back in and found it using those rods. He has also found many old graves for some people where there is now a moderatly large cemetary. And he has located and recorded a few indian mounds for townships and the like.
I wish I could have learned some from him while he was here, I am going to contact his wife Margie, I know her more. Perhaps she has some wisdom to pass on to an eager relative.
That was the post I made earlier on other sites and got no reply.
I have now made some dowsing rods out of cloths hangers. and I find they work pretty well, I expected them not too...but I'm usually skeptical to things I haven't tried.
