Dowsing test

[Carl-NC]

Normally I don't comment on private tests I've done. Since JD has already given a pretty blunt account of the test, and since several people have asked, I'll describe what we did.

The test was this past weekend, at JD's home town, in a park he selected. I brought 6 short pieces of 1x12 wood, each ~9 inches long, to use for concealment. They were placed ~10 feet apart on the ground. I brought my 10-ounce 99.99% gold bar as a test target. JD also had a silver half.

JD scanned the area first, and was satisfied that there were no interferences that would bother him. We did a single full-view test, to ensure that the LRL gave a decent response. Then, while JD stepped away, I placed the gold bar under a randomly selected board. When JD came back to search, I stepped away from the area, probably 20-25 feet. I gave him all the time he wanted.

We did three tests like this. Between each test, we made adjustments to the setup to try to improve the response of his LRL, including adding the silver half as a target. JD has already described the end results.

--------------------

I am still offering to hold a VA/NC LRL meeting. It can be informal, where everyone can demonstrate their techniques in whatever way they wish. For those who want to try it, I will conduct some standard testing. This is an excellent opportunity for all of us to see whether LRLs are of any use, in a relaxed setting.

Those who don't want to come, are welcomed to criticize this novel concept, generally bash any test method they feel will not produce a positive result, and heckle anyone involved. Or, if you have any positive suggestions, that would be nice, too.

Mine, yes. You're certainly invited, as are all dealers.

Gee Karl...Why are you so upset ?


I was invited to the next test to locate a 10 oz gold bar that is five feet away from my LRL. Why should I travel across the country to do a test that I know the answer to. The two units I own and the three I have tested WILL NOT LOCATE 10 OZ OF GOLD AT A DISTANCE OF 5 FEET.....Art

Gee Karl......Your yelling so loud it may blow my speakers...Are you mad because someone has some questions about the test? Are you mad because some of us knew that Jeff would fail the test if and when he took it ? That was an easy call if you knew how to read peoples post and understood what they were saying....Art

Hey Karl....I seem to remember a group on the Internet that was designing a MFD...When they finished the working model they disbanned.....I guess it was because there were no Dollars to be made...It seems that a little thing like the FCC rules would not allow it to be sold. I know that Karl has no knowledge of this but someone close to him sure does....Art

HI,
I'm new to this forum.
I've been using Dowsing as a tool to help me locate "lost" gold mines. I've not read book,or had alot of help finding out about it. I've done MY own tests. Buried items of gold and silver and then tried to see if the rod would locate them. Then I waited till the rod could pick them up. It was about 4 years. I dont know what it was about. No clue, But I dont care, it seems to work for me SOMETIMES. I also back-up ANY location with an electronic signal before digging. No signal, No dig is my rule.
Over the years I've located 4 Spainish caches. I've found quite a few mines too.
In town the only thing I locate is the town dump and the cematary. Too many targets. NO, I'm not going to sell any rods to anyone. No, I dont think bashing people over this is going to do anything.

I only know that IF I used the rods in Africa I'd be burnt at the stake for being a witch! People look at me funny if they see me doing this. I've never seen anyone else using a dowsing rod and I can count on one hand the people I've seen with a metal detector out in the deserts and mountains over the last 29 years. Must be all sitting inside grippin' over this here!

If it works ,WHY fix it?

 

[aarthrj3811]

Hey Aufinder....I seek mostly small Placer Gold. When I go out on flat land it's not a lot of fun for me. I just goof around waiting for the snow to melt. Dowsing is no big deal as it is just another tool ...Art

aufinder, if the readers of your post would only stop to think why you made that statement that you can only dowse "sometimes", and try to discover why dowsing is only possible "sometimes",and if successfull in discovering why , they will have made one of the most important discoveries any person could make in a lifetime. This "sometimes" business upsets a lot of professional and amateur dowsers and I wonder how many have really pondered as to why We have a farming magazine in Australia which has water dowsers advertising in the water drilling column. They have success for several years and then vanish on the ads section.
I was one of these ( water witches) @# years later I am a wiser dowser and have successfully nutted out the anomalies of dowsing and realise why dowsing works the way it does or doesnt and realise that no dowser will be winning a sceptic prize in our lifetimes.

It is posssible but wont happen because no-one or is willing to learn. Unless we have an unusuall period of solar flares there will be no mental dowsing for a couple of years except the odd fluke. Actually the year 2010 would be a good year and quite reliable with dowsing possible much of the time. Tell me Aufinder , did you manage to break the Jesuit code like I did which every one else is unaware of

I think the big problem with learning to dowse is the lack of
cooperation among dowsers. I don't know how well this will
turn out. I might get so many replies that I might have to
withdraw my offer. Here it is. If you are a map dowser, I will
send you a map of my property where I have about 7 or 8
pounds of metal buried which will react to gold. Al you have
to do is mark on the map an X where you think it is buried
and send it back to me and I will let you know if you located
the target. That way, you can work out any problems you
are encountering. You won't have to guess anything. Either
you are correct or you are wrong. Now, I'm not going to
coach you. You will have to do it all by yoursef.

HAVE SOME FUN
