DOWSING

[PAPPY]

DOWSING is a FINE ART. Post any of your questions here and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. I incorporate Dowsing along with my Metal Detecting and I have found that it is a GREAT ASSET to the hobby. LET'S GET GOING !!!!....PAPPY :D :D :D

Pappy, please try to explain to me the difference between long range locators (electoscope of a few years back) and dowsing with the copper rods you mentioned building.

Please let me know when you have the rods ready....

BILL, to answer your question as simple as I can...Long Range locators were not considered dowsing rods but (Locators). Most were a loadable type and worked on a theory of locating a particular large item...They in fact would point you in the right direction but you still had to locate the item when you got in the vicinity with metal detector or dowsing rods. The copper and brass rods which I speak of are very simple, portable and very easy to use. As opposed to the locators which were heavy, expensive and worked mostly on triangulation. The brass and copper are more sensitive to any electromagnetic field in the region of search.
I have several sets of rods on hand at the time in brass or copper.

And NO DELL it's NOT advertising and price

Have you got any links on dowsing. I tried it out with a couple pieces of 8 ga coper wire and I find septic tanks and pvc water pipes easily but nothing else. I have no idea what i am doing except holding them and walking slowly.

Update: Funny thing, I found a piece of chain in the yard today on a strong signal. After digging up the chain, no more signal

I would think any one would be able to dowse if they met the following conditions.
Not for greed
Pure of mind ...... goes back to greed
Ask a Higher Power for assistance


Not sure about bottles but I suppose anything is possible.
Just my opinion

Cory, Yes, you can dowse for bottles. I think that everyone has the ability to dowse if they put their mind to it. Dowsing is a Science and like any other Science it has to be studied and applied.
I have a friend that dowses for deer...and...he has been quite successful with it....He manages to get his limit every year.
I have dowsed for a very long time and have tried to help new dowsers and have found out over the years it you have the "want to" and are willing to "study a little" and "practice a lot"...You can acomplish Dowising.
