Back in 2003, in my Arizona Gold Dowsing days, I would travel all 2-tracs, Dowsing for Meteorite, and or Gold targets.
I woul drive about every 2 miles, get out Dowse ahead checking for signals, then drive on.
On one particular rd, I Dowsed 2 separate Gold target signals.
One was too far away to hike in the heat at the time, and the other spot was accupied by people at the time.
I wouldn't want to dig up Gold in strangers presence, so I would return another day.
It was unusual to get a good Gold signal, but I Dowsed 2 on that rd alone.
I wasn't able to return to the area untill 2011.
Equipped with a metal detector, because my rods were mailed, and hadn't arrived yet.
In the week I was there, we traveled the wrong tracks, and I couldn't locate both previously Dowsed Gold signals.
On Google earth and questioning Ai, I've located the road, both treasure's are located.
Dowsing signal strength is to weak to count on, and I no longer have a detector to pinpoint my targets. I would definitely need one.
One Gold target was Dowsed to be behind a Stagecoach horse relay station. No building existed but the stage would stop there.
It is in the hills/Bradshaw's and is Granite, but I didn't get the impression of Gold Ore, it was a Quartzless area. I believe possibly Gold coins stashed.
The other spot along the same road, is a large black lava rock, visible about 300 yards from the road.
It signaled Gold from 2 miles and I Dowsed it to 90 degrees of target triangulation, to 300 yds.
Either somebody hid Gold next to it, or it's Volcanic ore containing Gold.
It took me years to relocate the correct rd.
It sure would be exciting to return for a real treasure hunt, and hopefully I can..
At 69 it's looking less possible every year..
I left treasure behind, has anyone else left treasure planning to return?

If I ever get back to Arizona, and i will need a Metal detector to locate the 2 Gold targets, I previously Dowsed.
Now that Dowsing signal is too weak.
Do I get a Dowsing find credit?

Hi Dowser.
Waiting won't make things any better.
I think you should live your dream and just go for it.
What do you have to lose?
That’s better than sitting around complaining in a few months.
Good luck.🍀🤞👍

I'm waiting for a grubstake, that might never come.. and,
I don't have a dependable vehicle.
It also helps if the temp is below 100.
Not complaining, just posting facts!
Like i wrote, I would need a Metal detector to pinpoint 2 of the targets.
It's not necessarily my age, it's getting all the ducks in a row!
 
BOY DO I HEAR THAT !!! BUT like the guest says, " Waiting won't help" and in my case it makes things a LOT harder to do ! As it turns out for me , I always said that I need to do things now before I get old and CAN'T do it anymore and I did it that way for a long time and NOW that time has come and I can't ! Now all I can do is sit here and read about other people's adventures /travels And for me, crying in my beer don't help me one bit! If you really believe in it , GO FOR IT ANYWAY YOU CAN ! You won't know until you try for the Golden ring! Good luck on your decision and effort in achieving your dream ! Then I'll be kicking myself for NOT taking my own advice ! :)

In my case waiting does work.
I gain $1000 every month.
At some time I will consider it enough, and purchase a dependable vehicle.
 
Another lost Gold adventure using Dowsing.
I belonged to the Roadrunner prospecting club in Az, and would go to their claims, and Dowse for Gold signals.
I was over possibly SW of Wickenburg, near the famous Vulture Gold mine.
Word is free Gold exists in the area.. Free meaning visible.
I was from Michigan, mostly sand dirt trees rocks weeds, bedrock was new to me, mining/prospecting was new..
I drove onto a relatively flat ground Roadrunner claim slightly hilly but mostly flat, full of holes in all directions, they were around 3 ft deep 6 ft round average, lost now..
Like the movie Holes.
Next to each hole was the diggings, basically quartz.
For some reason Gold accumulated in these shallow rich spots, someone discovered it years ago, now it's claimed, along with adjoining 20 acre claims with holes.
I've looked on Google earth, but surprisingly can't find the holes from above.
I Dowsed my Gold signal in all directions, and had one solid Gold target connection line..
Unfortunately it was 20 ft onto the adjoining claim.
I followed the line to a hole, and the target was on the side of the hole, something/Gold was missed.
Wasn't my claim, I couldn't do anything about it and left.
