Hello All,
I still consider myself a rookie dowser, and I would like to share some of my eperiences with you.
First of all, I own a metal detector, but still find it much more fun to dowse, than just metal detecting. I consider dowsing a kind of investment in self-development. Metal detecting is a trash-collecting for me. But, if you find something with my pendulum - wow, that is SOMETHING.
I have never found (dowsed) anything metal-detectorists would consider worth a penny. But I still come back to dowsing somehow.
Just recently, I asked a question about old painted signs, beer bottles and other artefacts connected to the history of my region.
I got a clear answer - 140 meters to SW. I went there, and discovered the place is full of modern rubbish. "Niiice" I said to myself and left the spot.
What surprise it was, when weeks later I got a book about the history of my neigbourhood and learned, the trashed place is the exact spot of 19/20 century restaurant completely ruined during WW2. I clear hit, I had ABSOLUTELY no idea about that.
Another time, I asked about remainings of tableware in different place. When rods crossed, it was just beneath my feet.
Several times, my wife gave me objects belonging to her, I knew nothing about. I was surprised, how much information I could dig from those earings and similar jewellery. Still, I had many errors i lesser important aspects, but the hits were just incredible! Impossible to guess.
Not to mention various times, when I just used pendulum to find some things I lost somewhere at home.
I usually dowse with pendulum. I worked out myself some "standard answers" similar to those from Letter To Robin.
Interesting thing is, it is best for me not to know too much about the subject of my search. I consider learning map dowsing, since it gives most cool look at the subject. For example, recently I was dowsing foundings of a once-existent house. Everything was going well, until I encountered a piece of the SOME founding sticking from the ground. (in a place it supposely shouldnt be there) And that was it. I focused on it, and couldnt get any reliable signal from then.
I thought to myself, that I would go much better If I wasnt on place, just dowsing on a sort of clear map or plan.
What do you think?
