Prove it.

[Icewing]

I admit I am a dowsing skeptic, but I'm open minded.

So to those of you who believe you can dowse an aerial image I'd like to give you a chance to prove to me that it can work. But before I just throw up a couple of random aerial images and waste a bunch of time I want you to tell me how big of an area should I provide, or does that even matter?

I have two locations that I am interested in, one of which I have reason to believe has and actual treasure to be found, the other is a bit of an unknown both are near water and both have a lot of history.

So here's the challenge.
You tell me what you need as far as images, and I'll do my best to provide.
You do your dowsing thing and report back with info.
I'll go there, and work till I'm exhausted rakes, shovels, metal detector etc. and report back with my findings, or lack thereof.

challenge. challenge I think I heard that before don't waste your time digging check them out , (map dowsing is free) they just trying to help you out, they don't have to spend there time trying to help you, if a person want to see if someone can dowse then get a few pounds of lead are copper and buried it, in size of a football field, as long as you can get it in a camera picture, as for me I like the North marked, if they can hit it then get them to dowse for you (if they will). we have some good dowser here but this challenge is old stuff. and to, a

aerial image depend on how far out you put a dot are circle on the map you can be 100 are 300 plus feet off, that why I work off gps ….. a dowser can mark a map from a distant , but on the ground you be off, like looking for a needle in a yard, then the dowser hear back there nothing there, that the reason i'm much a long wolf any more. so after saying all that !!!

Dowser great dowser show yourself

challenge again!!!!​

I have not been on this forum in a LONG time. Only posted to another thread just now, because I was following a certain poster's posts.

But now that I'm here, I'm a little confused: I see a few ... uh ... "skeptical" posts and threads. But long ago I was warned that this forum is NOT for anyone who digresses . It is for discussion of "pro" (affirming) views only. Which is totally understandable. To "keep the peace" and allow believers to discuss amongst themselves. I get it.

And skeptical pokes used to not be allowed. Which ... I can totally understand. There are other forum sub-sections for dissenting critical views. But I got reprimanded before , for posting on this dowsing forum , with dissenting "con" views.

Yet now I'm seeing some posts and threads with "con" views. What gives ? Is that not the case anymore ?

Simply being a little bit skeptical doesn't automatically mean that I had any intentions to ridicule, disparage, or mock anyone.
I was serious about hunting wherever they said I should search. And whatever the results I would report back honestly. So thanks for that.

I Didn't Like this Title when I first saw the Thread.
Expected to Come in & Delete it.

But after Reading the First Post, I decided to take a wait & see Stance.

As for the Title, Nobody Needs to
"Prove" Anything !!!!!!

As For Skeptics posting.
Everyone has their Own opinion on What is OK & What is Overboard.

Harping over something continuously to the Point Members feel like they are being attacked personally
for their beliefs
Gets my Attention.

My guess at some Point, someone will Get them-self in Trouble.

Like it or Not,
Best rule of Thumb for All Subjects on TreasureNet

Believers Are OK.

Since it's the Skeptics that usually Go Postal,
& start making threats & insisting on Proof.
Skeptics Beware & Be Careful !

Your opinion may be allowed, but your attitude may not

Tom you know exactly why you were banned, you were warned many times before the ban to end the badgering of people who believe and you refused. You even commented on different forum that you pushed it too far. Our rules have not changed since your last timeout.

 

[Icewing]

Well this thread has completely spiraled out of control so feel free to delete it... SMH

 

[Tom_in_CA]

Ok, then this thread , which hints of "dissenting view" , should be deleted from this forum sub-section. If it were on the main-page ("general discussion") then it would be ok.

 

[Icewing]

Sorry for the poorly chosen two word title. I was just trying to keep an open mind and had no idea two words would dissuade even those who are truly confident in their skills and trasform the entire thread into such troll bait.

Perhaps the people of the world should dial back their sensitivity just a bit.

Because. Yoda.

Tom your pushing your luck, we do not need you to tell us how to moderate the forum either.

 

[Hillbilly Prince]

I like the idea of the challenge. Maybe it would seem less antagonistic in General Discussion, if some feel attacked.
The thing is no one asks anyone to prove a metal detector works.
I've seen photos posted asking for dowsing and people respond by drawing circles and lines on the photo. But there is no conclusion.
I hope someone takes a shot at this. I am a bit sceptical but feel no urge to attack those who dowse. I may sometimes rib the LRL crowd but it is all in fun.
There is a fairly clear line between attacking and teasing someone.
I have an idea: if Icewing posts photos I will attempt a remote psychic probe and advise a place to look

 

[aarthrj3811]

Give it up Tom and follow all those fake testers. When told to put up
the money for a real Double Blind study they went home..on the Map Dowsing submit.When I mark a map there is always something in the area . If the person has the skills and equipment to follow a signal line they will be happy.

View attachment 1661561

Can dowsing? I would love to see photos.
I suppose the people who sell metal detectors find paper money.
In a way, one may find paper money by selling a coin they detected
Paper money could be found easily by a metal detector since it would likely be in a container which has metal fasteners. But you do bring up a good point.
I have no problem with dowsers or such. But I would like to see evidence.
Why don't we have dowsers posting photos of their finds and telling what equipment was used? Is it a lack of people dowsing?
*when I replied to your post there was no photo so had to edit. What is the story behind the photo?

Nice

Under certain Circumstances Yes !

If it's in or wrapped around something Metal,
Or By Eyeballing While Detecting & looking down
The detector Helped

Many Years ago (80's ?) the magazines used to have writers who insisted the Older BFO detectors,
& I think possibly TR;s If tuned right , Could be tuned to Detect Bills.

I'd Guess you remember that . Maybe even Better then I
