a person who finds things using various means-- somethings that are sought after are like water , or lost metals (gold and silver deposits as well as "buried treasure") --depending upon who is doing it and whats beng looked for --their "tools" might be a set of copper rods or bent coat hangers or-a y type wooden tree branch or a pendulum --when hunting water some folks call it "water witching" and often use a y branch from a tree --the ideal being that a tree will naturally "seek" out water and draw towards it --thus the y branch will "tug" downward when you get close to a large water deposit .

Nice definition. What is the source of energy/power that "tugs" the branch?

The only source of energy comes from the dowser. It doesn't feel is if it's you doing it, but it is. For some reason we are all able to do it, given the chance. Maybe it's the same as how some animals can find water?

Exactly. It is you wanting there to be be water in that location or your opinion based on the surface terrain that you see.

It is thought that there is some kind of electrical current/force that is given off the water/gold/etc that causes a 'sympathetic' reaction in some people that will cause iron, wood, or other metal type rods they hold in thier hands to move when those rods are passed over the area where the object is in the ground. My wife's dad has a gold claim down near Ruby, Arizona and he took a friend of his who could dowse or 'witch' for gold with him to try it out at the hard rock claim. Well, the old fellow found a pea size nugget on the claim which he gave to my father in law who was quite suprised. I think I would have tied him to the front of my jeep or ATV and told him we would only stop for meal breaks and then head out accross the area! It does not work for many folks, including me.
It seems to be 'a gift' that some folks have. But I have seen it work 'witching' for water!

Here's the true story. lol When you are holding that twig and your joints start to act up, you know you are near water. It works better with old people. LOL Hay I am old people, but my joints are still to good for this to work for me. Frank

Geeze
How does it work for us map dowsers? Does the electrical current/force travel thousands of miles and onto the map? Or do we just see a logical hiding place?

A modern dowser is a metal detectorist who has grown tired of endlessly digging up worthless targets.

Einstein seemed to believe in it though he could not explain it. Map dowsing I have no idea on that.

I watched my ex father in law do it over and over finding joints in old irrigation lines on our Ranch...old pvc pipes he opened a valve filled the pipe with water and started "Witchin'" he he told me I would only have to dig up like 150'....well after he found like what seemed like 2 miles and had them all marked with those little colored flags...we rented a mini excavator to help dig.He was spot on all the pipe.he used bent copper wire and ad the wires in plastic sleeves where he held them so they were loose sort of. He tried to show me how and I couldnt do it even over the marked pipe....Maybe I knew to much and could put too much "thought" into it. I believe map dowsing is a form of cairvoyance.more so then on the spot dowsing.

 

[Reed Lukens]

Map dowsing is basically the same but you feel the pull on the map with a pendulum, unlike the rods that move you naturally over the target. For me it's like the the old "My Favorite Martian" series when he had the antennas sticking out of his head. The only difference is that you have the antennas in your hands and that's all they are. Simply antennas that magnify what you are feeling with your mind. They make you part of the landscape in your mind. I feel the bedrock and everything below me when I use them and honestly, even though I was joking in my video when I made the antennas for my head, they really did magnify everything even more, though I would never admit it there...

People would think that I am crazy

Impressive to have Einstein endorse it. Can you tell me where I can find the reference material that you saw?

pvillehunter, i agree with you 100% and i am sure the sceptics will not believe and my word means nothing to them , but we had the local light & power company come to instal a outside pole and light where i work , while they were there we started talking about underground wires and pipes and one of the guys commented that another of the workers coud use copper dowsing rods to find lines/pipes underground. now i knew where the water lines were becasue we had plumbing company come and use there snake with the GPS head and track the line and locate depth . sure enough he walked over several areas and pointed out there was something under him in that spot and he was dead on. now we all had to try it and none of us could do it , he told us that not ony he could do it but his father and uncle aslo but they were the only ones in there family that could.
i belive it has to do with electrical currents myself and would nto have belived it if i had not seen it . and yes the odds of this guy knowing the location of the water lines were pretty slim to nothing.

To those who believe, no explanation is needed, to those who do not, none will suffice.

I've never seen it done. I've never tried it. Not sure what I believe. But, I would have to see it to believe it. I think the one question most of us who are agnostic on the subject have is, if you can hold a couple of rods and find gold, why are you not a billionaire? If you can find water, why are there so many dry places in the world?

I am trying to honest here, not calling anyone out. I'll maintain an open mind until I have more evidence.

The last time I saw it referenced was on H2 America Unearthed with Scott Wolter where they had a guy dowse a site. They tested him first to make sure it worked and he located the items they had hidden.

Einstein himself respected dowsing and what it implied. He said: “I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, however, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument which shows the reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown to us at this time.” Also Albert Einstein,performed impressive feats with a variety of dowsing devices."

Vor if you have google check it out.

A metal detector can find gold but why are there not more millionaires. Part of the problem is that there is not that much gold just lying around waitng to be found. If it were easily picked up or dug up it would probably already be gone. Also nothing is 100%. I have been trying to figure out how dowsing works for many years. Map or remote dowsing is even harder to understand or explain. The most true believers on Treasurenet can be found on the dowsing forum.

I think one of the biggest mistakes that I have encountered in my own hunts is relying to heavily on only dowsing. I think if you want to pinpoint and dig up gold or silver you need to have the best metal detectors that you can get your hands on before you put a shovel into the ground. Having seen a dowser pass tests devised by others and owning and using a set of rods to find water pipes and electric lines, I know for a fact that it can work.

There are many tools available to hunt gold/silver. Start with good research. If you know of a good story or site use all means available to decide exactly where to dig. There are many incompetent dowsers that make the art of dowsing appear to be a fraud. There are people that even if they were to witness something found by dowsing that would just attribute it to luck. Find something that works and go for it.

I think the way map dowsing works is this. There is a collective pool of knowledge that are minds can tap into, similar as to how a computer can tap into the "web" of information that is available. With computer info it is not that there is a giant computer somewhere containing all facts. Everything is connected. The same with our brains. Some people are better than others at this. To begin with you need to have an"open mind". You have to be "receptive" to the information that is available. Where do you think the thoughts that continually pop into your mind come from? Like with everything some minds work better than others. Practice helps. Good luck with whatever methods you use.

RE: "Part of the problem is that there is not that much gold just lying around waitng to be found. If it were easily picked up or dug up it would probably already be gone."

I agree with that. However, and I may well be wrong about this, I thought a dowser could find water deep in the ground and tell someone where to dig a well. I thought the same was supposed to be true about Gold. A metal detector will find gold down to about 12 inches, depending on the size and other factors. I thought possibly a dowser could find veins of gold deep under ground. Again, I do not know. It is not a subject I have encountered in any meaningful way other than some old TV shows. I'll just keep an open mind until I know more. It is an interesting and intriguing subject.
