Doesn't the ability of the person matter a lot more than the rod used?i dunno but I think $100's-$1000's is ridiculous for a stick and a few hundred or a pendulum just as bad.

I bought an Anderson rod as a requirement to take a dowsing course from Sam Wolfe in 1974, my first dowsing experience.
At the time it was about the same pricce as a metal detector.

I posted a few few aerial photos and asked for help dowsing them. The first map that I started working through has been 100% accurate. I am nowhere near finished with the map, however so far here are the results:
1. I went directly to the first area circled as having items near the surface. I ran the MD through the area and dug up 4 items.
2. Because time was short and it was dark I didn't try to find the next circled areas, but opted to search the area surrounding the first circle. (none of this area was marked by the dowser as having anything there). I got absolutely no hits in this area.
3. As a comparison of area, the unmarked area I searched was roughly 8-10xs the size of the circled area that had 4 items, and was totally surrounding the circled area. Again..not one hit on the MD (not even for nails, pulltabs or foil)
4. This weekend I searched a second circle that was marked by the dowser and found 2 items. I searched the unmarked area surrounding the circle and had no hits whatsoever on the MD in the unmarked area. (The unmarked section I checked this weekend was approximately 4-5 times larger than the marked area.)
So, it's not definitive proof, however these early results certainly indicate an early positive correlation between the dowser's work and the presence of items. I have several other maps I will be working through in the future that have also been dowsed so I will keep everyone up to date on how it goes. But for now, the map dowser is 100% accurate on both where to look, and where NOT to look.
I think of the dowsing equipment as being the "Air Force" enabling me to cover an area quicker and the metal detectors as being the "Ground Force" enabling me to pinpoint better but the rods/pendulum may be used with success w/o the use of a metal detector.JonOk, this is just a question I'm not stating an opinion about dowsing of any kind. What I'm wondering is if you can find out where treasure is by dowsing then why do dowsers list metal detectors as some of their equipment? From some of what I read it looks like dowsers are able to tell how deep some stuff is.
Yes please post a picture in a new thread so all who want to dowse it will know where to find your picture.JonWould anyone be interested in a bit of map dowsing? I own 5 acres of land in New Mexico that I could post an overhead shot of. I'm really curious if there's anything out of the ordinary underground. Not necessarily gold or silver, but stone or iron objects, coins, jewelry, basically anything that didn't naturally occur on the land, something dropped or buried. I'll dig the crap out of the place and post photos of finds for anyone interested. Takers??
Yes..About 4 miles better...Small target may be a little out of range but the big ones can be there...I can check the area out and not leave the highway.I think of the dowsing equipment as being the "Air Force" enabling me to cover an area quicker
I do not use a metal detector as most of my finds would be out of their range.nd the metal detectors as being the "Ground Force" enabling me to pinpoint better
I have worked hard at learning how to pinpoint with my rods...Artbut the rods/pendulum may be used with success w/o the use of a metal detector.Jon
There always has been lots of dowser bashing.
What do the bashers want. In my experience they want me to go to a spot of their choosing and find them a treasure of which they think
I am entitled to less than half. This would be a site without proper research, with no owner's permission and no $ for me or for travel
expenses including a place to stay. Of course I would have to leave my successful business to make them some money for my time.
Some bashers just want me to teach them a foolproof way to dowse up a treasure right away or they intend to tell the world that dowsing
is a hoax or worse. Who needs it! I am having a perfectly good time on my own and with a few personal friends who have been amazed
at results I have handed them. Dowsing works for me, thanks.

PS. Think of needing proof before trying something when a doctor hands you a strange pill to swallow and says "Let's try this and see
how you feel! By the way, here are a list of side effects!"
I have that photo posted in a new thread, Jon. Thanks for taking a look, I really appreciate it!Yes please post a picture in a new thread so all who want to dowse it will know where to find your picture.Jon
One very fatal issue that has not been brought up is.. NEVER dowse for someone that does not believe in the art of dowsing or you will look like a damn fool. Art and many others on here know that showing off and trying to make people believe a lot of times will backfire and your results will suck. I can dowse around my parents and some close friends because they believe in it and results stay the same. When I try it around a skeptic or for a skeptic usually it blows up in my face. If a person has heard of dowsing and knows it works go after it. There are skeptics about this. The reason a lot of dowsers charge a fee is because by charging a fee, this ensures that the person which is wanting the dowsers service is a believer in what he is going to receive back from the dowser in the form of information. 99 percent of the people will not throw money at someone to try and prove them wrong. That is why sometimes on this forum there can be a lot of different results by the people that dowse the targets and by the ones that want the targets dowsed. IF someone on here asks for a target to be dowsed and gets a map back by say RED DESERT and they look at it and say... Well there is nothing where he has his targets other than a big grass flat.. Guess what? They just created doubt in the ability of that and all dowsers which will dowse that picture from that point on. The people on here that want maps, pictures, grandmas house, whatever dowse have to believe equally that it will work. Just like the signal line that is created that we dowse with our rods... if there is no connectivity between the dowser, the person wanting the information and the map, there will be no results. That is why free dowsing is a lot of bull*#$#. It does affect what people think of us. I have seen a lot of pictures where Red, Art, Okie and Tele, all had comparatively exact same results. WHY Because the person that sent the map believed in dowsing and its results. Whether there is any targets is left to the owner of the map. But, if four or five people get the same results that have no telepathic connection between each other, you can bet I would be stoked and going after some targets. So if you just want to see if someone can find something on a map, dont waste a dowsers time. If you have a lead and believe there is something there and that dowsing would be a helpful tool to narrow down the search area of a target, then post on here. Otherwise if you dont believe in it, throw a dart at the map and go dig, cause thats how accurate we will be too. No one claims you will find the exact location of the target on here. We try and narrow the search area from billions of miles square down to hundreds of feet square. If that is not good enough, well your doubting our ability again and that aint gonna work... BELIEVE AND YOU SHALL SUCCEED !!!!!!!!!!!
Rich, you are again right on point. Most are do-nothing, give me everything types. Art and I have given very simple experiments to try and guess how many gave it a fair shot?? We had a great example here, Ole shallow water, never tried anything and argued the hardest. Some have serious Freudian issues and come here to scratch the itch. Others just want to know the truth. As you know from personal conversations, I don't tell the full truth here, only the part that we want to let out. Can you imagine what would go on if we did? Shoot, Carl is willing to pay 25 grand for the secret. No telling how far others would go. A lot just want you to show your hand and who knows their intentions?
