Default Dowsing lessons#2

Good morning Paddywhack:
When you find the target and the rod turns against your chest or body,the item that you are searching for it directly below your feet--Now change back to two (2) rods,have the rods pointing straight ahead of you and ask, what is the depth in inches or feet "whichever unit you want to use" from ground level down in the ground to the "coins or item" you are searching for,start counting,asking is it one "inch or foot" whichever unit you are using,keep counting,when it comes to the right depth the "rods" will cross meaning you are close, say you get the rods to cross when you are down 10 inches, then say, am I interpreting this signal correctly to mean the "item" is 10 inches down,if the rods open up it means no,then say is this "item"9inches down", if this is the right depth the rods will cross, usually the first reading will have to be backed up one unit, say from 10 to 9 or one unit from what ever your first reading is.
Now count how many of the "items " you are looking for is at this spot down in the ground,with the rods pointing straight ahead ask," How many items(coins) are down in the ground at this exact spot" and using the same counting method used for finding the depth start counting,ask is there more than one,keep counting till your rods cross and give you a "yes" then back up one unit and that will be how many objects (coins or for what ever you are searching for is at this spot. ---Hope this helps----Bert

Default dowsing lessons#2

Hello Tank:
It's a pleasure to have you on board,Yes if a person really hangs in there and keeps a clear mind they can do wonders with " DOWSING" I use dowsing in combination with my metal detector,and it sure works great,I pinpoint the location with my dowsing instrument and verify it with my metal detector,try it, I know you will be amazed at the results--there will be more lessons coming up so stay with us,If I can beg,borrow or steal a camcorder,I will tape all my various methods using the Pendulum,swing rods and "bobber or wand as I call it and Gregory says he will put it with the lessons.--Keep in touch---BERT

Default Thanks, Bert!

These lessons are great, and I will be catching up now having found them. Is your wand homemade, or are they available for sale? Thanks again for your work.

I know I am not in your group and I have been skeptilcal for a long time I have only seen this work in cartoons. Well last night at work I was telling this guy about dowsing, "He says oh yea I know all about it, It's easy I have a pair made out of coat hangers." this got my curiosity so I went over to the metal rack I couldn't find any 3/16" so I grabbed 1/4 took it over to the shear press and then the brake press and made my own by gosh I am impressed I did something simple as a water line and they found it. I am curious can you find coins and gold this way ?

Just wanted to let you and PAPPY know how much I'm enjoying the lessons and feedback..
First time I was exposed to it we were on a picnic on my wife's familie's ranch. Wife asked "You ever dowse for water?" She proceeded to find a stick walk around and suddenly the stick bent down.. Yeah right!! I tried it and when the stick pulled down in my hand I was amazed.. Got hooked that day.
I'm sure that with your help and work on my part my rough skills will improve greatly.
Keep up the good work.. Bob

Hello Bob:
Thanks for the kind words,Pappy and I will do our level best to get all the information out about the art of dowsing,and even if you are hooked on using a metal detector you will see the advantages of using both of these instruments in conjunction with each other,with dowsing you can narrow the search from a wide area down to the exact spot where the "ITEM" is you are looking for,then use the metal detector to verify it(works great) and saves a lot of searching with the metal detector. Thanks Bob-----BERT
