As long as the ship was there, and the site hasn't been destroyed, it will react to what ever you ask.

To find its nationality. First you must locate the ship, when it starts to react, back off it and then take the Sensor board for different races or nationlities and go over each one until it reacts. Same with the date, only your using numbers.

Here's a picture, I wasn't really happy about my dowsing the day I took this but...I was leaving for Nashville that afternoon so I had to get something done.

I forgot to add that the picture above, the red upward lines represent the points I dowsed, the blue line is just a connect the dot. The last bit of the line should be more rounded but I didn't have a point in the middle of it so it looks real straight.

Is it possible that any type of artifact in the ship may have survived 656 years? I know wood in the soil around here would have deteriated long ago. Iron would have also wouldn't it? I know in certain circumstances things can become petrefied, or like the ship from 700A.D., the little fishing boat, I think it was found buried in clay. And it survived.

Hey Sandsted....You may want to check for Clay Pots or Clay Jars in the middle of the driveway..Art

I heard that I can go down the middle of the ship and count the ribs too. But...I can't get to the entire ship so it wouldn't be all the ribs.

 

[aarthrj3811]

I don't know anything about Viking ships....I assume there had to be rocks in the keel from another part of the world and they would be to the left of your line. I also assume that there was a large rock used as an anchor and it would be close to the two bushes. Just some ideas to prove that it is indeed a ship down there....Art

Okay, I don't know how your machine works, so that sounds good. But you would have to think that something remains down there for that long. Someone suggested clay pots and perhaps ballast stones or a stone anchor, which would resist deteroration pretty well, as would any silver or gold artifacts, even bronze I believe would hold up pretty well. In short, there should be some sort of remainder of the ship in the ground, no matter how minute.

I never said there isn't anything down there, as you say there most likely is. Many years ago, my uncle while rebuilding a garage, found a viking ancor stone while digging out the base for the garage. It now sits in the Kensington Community center.

But what stones do you speak of on the side of the stone?

The things I wish to further investigate about the ship is, are there any identifilable artifacts anywhere in or around the ship, how many there was in the crew, where their habitation site was, the ages of the men of the crew, how long they were here.

I'm going to meet with Leland and go over these things and learn better how to determine these. But that won't be for a little while, our schedules have to work out so...not exactly when yet.

Oh and on the picture, the North end of the ship goes past those two bushes, I'm not exactly sure as to how far because right after that there are very thick woods.

But right now I'm leaving to go North for a Wilderness Bible camp...thing, so I'll be back on Monday.
Farewell

I'm not sure I understand your first sentence. I've never mentioned that you said there was nothing down there. I'm agreeing with you. You say the ship is there, and although I can't see it for myself, I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm simply saying there has to be something left of or on the boat.

The other stones I'm talking about are ballast stones, used to help make a ship rise and fall depending on the need for bouyancy. I'm not certain if the Vikings used ballast or not, but if thy did, and this isn't a ceremonial burial, there are most likely some lying around that should have remained with the ship.

Dell and Art what would you charge to dowse my place. I think I have some underground tunnels, that may have artifacts in them. I need to know the depth and what the articles are. If I posted a photo or maps of the area could you tell me. I have found some artifacts in the area. pspope

Oops, sorry! I thought you were responding to my post.

Hey Gang,

I am going to ask a question here.
But first. I believe in mucho pre-Columbian contact from European and other countries to the "New World."There is no denying the evidence.

My question is "How would a monstrous Viking longship (120 meters !!!! 360 feet long !!!) get to Minnesota As i understand Columbus's ship were only around 90 feet long .
Sailing up the Mississippi River ? Probably not an easy feat.
Sailing into the St.Lawrence River into the Great Lakes? I didnt know that was possible until the mid-19th century.

I may be wrong but i like learning, so please if anyone can answer these questions i would highly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Mike in SC

Thanks Dell,

That would make more sense as crew members would try to carry as many goods as possible from the ship as they would not have access to anymore for a long time.

Thanks,

We also have to consider that the water ways may have been a lot different 600 years ago. Volcano eruptions can change the landscape. One of the major earthquake vaults in the USA runs along the Mississippi River. Art

Well, I must say it's interesting, I didn't think such a story could stir so much activity.

On the point of the length of the stone, I don't believe it's 120 or 130 meters, this does sound rather long...but I took a tape measurer (since my judgement for distances is horribly bad) and 50 feet is not very far. I believe possibly 30 meters (I do think I must have misunderstood him) but if the ship were 130 meters long I wouldn't know, it goes into the woods and I can not dowse the Northern tip, which saddens me greatly.

On another point,
"My Dowsing concurs with Art, that there are Clay containers in the driveway, as well as at other locations in the photo. One is near the shouvel and some follow along your line. These appear to have been buried by indians around 1026 AD and contain items from the ship.There also appears to be a ships anchor, or drogue stone in the driveway along your line. These artifacts are buried at a minimum depth of 12 feet."

I have just returned from my trip to the Wilderness Bible Camp, very fine camp, was started in the 70s by my own Grandfather, but anyway. I haven't been able to dowse for any artifacts due to the fact that it is almost 1 in the morning. But tomorrow I will be travelling and will be staying near Evansville and will not have the ability to dowse this site. I hope to soon visit with Leland and perhaps I can go over the map dowsing of it with him.

But that statement I quoted puzzles me, "These appear to have been buried by indians around 1026 A.D., I haven't yet had the chance to check, but Leland's dowsing puts the ship in the year of about 1350. And I hope in the future that I may dig for the ancor stone, but that will not be possible anytime soon.

On another note, pertaining to the subject of water travel, although geologist Scott Wolter would disagree, the water level in the middle of the 14th century was incredibly higher than it is today. During the 14th century there was an intense warming period (I wonder if they woried about global warming) and water levels raise, and if you look at 14th century artifacts in Norway, you will find that the peoples of that time existed far far North, but there was a little Ice Age in the 15th century, freezing the water, and causeing the peoples of Norway to only exist in the southern parts of Norway due to the extreme cold. French records of wine production confirm this. I believe in 1362 the water level was near present day 1370ft. Right at where I lie here... or at least about.

There are many ships found from this time, 1350s (mid 14th cen.) I guess this area was very accessible by ship during that time.

I will stay in touch, hopefully very soon I will have spoken to Leland on many points I have questions about.
