While Dowsing for distant targets I used to think that the more quantity of signal Element I use to signal with, the further I could Dowse. I was in Arizona dowsing for Meteorites. My friend had a truck rim made out of Magnesium, so I drove to the end of Salt mine road, set the rim on the ground, then checked for lines. I had one strong signal line heading NW of me, back down the road. After following the signal, it led me to the Salt mine 5 miles away. I thought I was chasing a Meteorite signal, but instead I was signaling Magnesium. Surprise to me! I now know that small quantity of signal element works well enough, and it's easier to carry around. I've signaled Gold ore, Silver ore, Magnesium ore and multi Element Meteorites, and am looking forward to Dowsing Rare Earth. Dowser
