G'afternon mi lil buddy tin Pan: You never stated which you preferred, San Miguel export of Coffee??
As for Henry, you know that he was not a singer. but probably did sing or corw with each well he brought in under impossible conditions.
Since you didn't use post # 398 to find Henry, I will post some of the data for you.

HENRY GROSS AND
HIS DOWSING ROD

Professor of Geomorphology
KENNETH ROBEHTs, famed writer
of historical novels, here recounts
the truly amazing water dowsing per·
formances of Henry Gross, a game
'varden of Biddeford, Maine.
When Gross and Roberts first got
together in 1947, Henry was a good
water dowser of considerable exper·
ience and many successes, but he
was not particularly adept in obtain·
ing detailed information from his
dowsing rod as to depth, volume of
How and related matters. Encour·
aged and stimulated by Roberts,
2
Gross gradually developed almost
unbelievable abilities along these
lines. He soon learned to establish
the depth, volume, direction of flow
and potability of water in "veins."
He could even predict the type of
material to be drilled through. Then
Gross discovered he could locate
water in veins and obtain informa·
tion concerning them merely by
being on the property and not neces·
sarily directly over the vein. About
this time he also found that his rod
could locate people hidden from
view, giving direction and distance
to the desired person, and, further,
that his rod could locate lost objects
such as an outboard motor dropped
by accident to the bottom of a lake.
Next Gross learned that hc could
dowse a piece of property from a
picture of the house on that property,
and later this remote dowsing
ability developed to the stage where
he could determine the number,
nature, depth, volume of How, and
loeation of water veins on a pieee
of land merely from a description of
its location or by knowing the own·
er's name, even though the property
were tens or even hundreds of miles
away. Wherever possible these .in·
stances of remote dowsing were
eheeked by subsequent dowsing
directly on the premises, and the
agreement in results was all that
could be desired.
Map dowsing
Most impressive of Henry Gros,,'
performances is map dowsing. Using
a map of Bermuda in the bar at
Roberts' house near Kennebunkport,
Maine, Gross located four water
domes with numNOUS associated
veins on the island of Bermuda, an
area notoriously short on supplies of
potable ground water. A dome is a
pipe or spout of water rising from
great depth. The exact location of
these domes was later pinpointed on
the ground by Gross. According to
his dowsing rod one was polluted,
but the other three were subsequently
drilled and two produced potable
supplies of fresh water. The third
dome drilled yielded slightly saline
water owing to an error of location
on the part of the drilling crew
