Question on Using One Rod and Triangulating?

[An Ri Rua]

Mr. Groves I have read your posts and attempting to glean your message to me.
What I have detemined is a caution of misdirection of the other posts.
I appreciate this if I have interpreted your comments correctly.
If your ideas/knowledge on getting started in Dowsing differ from the suggestions posted, please give me your outline, simply please, on your recommendations.
I honestly welcome all viewpoints and will take what I feel is appropriate suggestions and attempt to apply them.
I would very much like to continue the conversation as I progress. Thank you
Brett

TX, Ted Groves believes that dowsing is no better than chance. He believes that because he obviously has no dowsing skill. Its not something that one wakes up with one morning, no more than riding a bike is. But with a little practice, some become excellent, some can pull wheelies and some can just about ride thething and give it up as soon as they hit driving age (or even before). You are of course free to listen to Ted Groves and a number of other dowsing virgins ramble on about how it doesn't work but, since I tuned in to Art, teleprospector, Mike Dell and others and most importantly the esteemed authors such as Abbe Mermet, Tom graves (www.tomgraves.org) and the beginner's guide by Richard Webster, I do find the likes of these sceptics rather tiresome. Nobody is born with a finely honed dowsing skill. They have to programme the fine tuning, much as we have to programme our bodies to learn to write and produce symbols.

I feel sorry for Ted Groves; I have offered to help him. He chooses to laugh at those who engage in treasure hunting by any means possible. He does not care, however (much like his two-faced buddies) to jump over to the cache seeking forum and bash them. Oh no?! That would mean expulsion from this forum, I am sure. Because on almost every part of this forum, a lack of camaraderie is not tolerated. But here, despite dowsers having no axe to grind, and despite voluminous evidence (see my post above that Ted Groves so crassly ignored) and offers to help and demonstrate by Dell, Art and others, he keeps on keeping on with the same inarticulate mumbo-jumbo and nonsense that only sceptics with no experience can seem to muster.

Can any of you guys help Ted Groves? To understand what is appropriate and what is lacking in theory, experience and therefore usefulness to the OP or to anyone entering a DOWSING forum.

Ted, you need help...........with dowsing of course. Let me help you. I can help you find stuff, I just think you're holding your rod too tight in your clenched fist. No matter how it feels, you gotta relax Ted..... Please post images of your dowsing instrument actually. I use a Mermet pendulum and of course you know what that is. Show us your clenched little twig then......

prove that you have those dowsing books. Scan the covers beside a newspaper with today's date. But you won't......because you don't........and anyone listening to your advice will learn nothing about dowsing.......

So, do you have the books I listed? Did you even recognize the titles?

What a laugh. I've probably forgotten more about dowsing than you will ever know.

Give me a book title, from one of the books I listed, and a page and a line number; and I'll tell you what it says on that line.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Gee Teddy,

I keep my wallet in my back pocket? But I guess that's confusing for you when you talk from the same locale....... ;-)

I'll pick a text and we'll check your knowledge....

But now its time for shuteye. 4am in Ireland and us treasurehunters need our sleep. Its not all academic and books for the rest of us ya know Ted? Seriously, get some fresh air! Swing a detector! Don't clench your little twig so much.......

Oiche mhaith to all.......

The weather here has been terrible, but i hope to get out and practice with my dowsing rod tomorrow. Going to see if I can get a better response to a planted coin in the backyard and work on boxing it in.
Just going to keep on practicing until I feel I have a technique down and hope to achieve some repeatability and understand how the rod is responding.

Sorry I am not in a possition to comment on the side topic as I have not researched anyones previous posts.
So far I appreciate all of the input i have received.
Thanks to everyone.

Hey Tex,

You are on the right path, a single rod and understanding to triangulate from various distances
is the key technique . Just a simple brass rod, no sleeves, no witness . Your thoughts and intent
is your witness and your program, or discrimination mode as the case may be.


I have been dowsing for thirty years and dont bother much here because of the likes of the OPS
like Ted . If he would put down all his fabulous books and actually go out and do some dowsing
he would regret all the divergent, skeptical remarks he has ever posted. Shame on u Ted !

Hello to all the other kind dowsers out there with the patience of the Gods, with the likes of TEd/

Now that i have bashed you a bit , may i offer to maintain your library of dowsing books
you no longer have a need for ? I collect them like you collect bad vibes from being so
closed minded, and so openly stupid, for not being able to dowse like a normal human being

its all good,

GD, I too, have been dowsing just shy of 30 years. Been on the forums since 1996 and I can tell you these bashers are also collectors of dowsing gear. Of course they want to buy it for nothing, one guy even asks people to donate it to him and they both have quite a collection. So the fact they claim they are here for the good of mankind is bogus and fraudulent. Good luck squeezing a rusty coat hanger out of either one of those losers.

Well, Mike, back to your school-yard level of communication I see, complete with name-calling and tantrum throwing. That little tactic may have gotten you what you wanted when you were in grade school (assuming you made it to grade school) but it ain't gonna work here. Just makes you look silly and points out how desperate you are to sell one of your glorified coat hangers.

Yeah, right! Why don't you hold your breath until I get them boxed up and put in the mail to you. You should be a pretty shade of Blue before they show up in your mailbox.
