To get the discussion going I will give this a try. Webster's states that dowse is to search for the source of water or minerals with a divining rod. You will find that dowsing rods are used for many other things. Some are used to answer questions. The dowsing rods will respond to mental suggestions, natural occurring signals emitted by objects and signals from man made devices. To use the rods it takes a lot of practice to understand what they are telling you....Art

Dowsing is the ability of a person to use an instrument as an aid in locating items of unknown locations via the use of electromagnetic energy fields. Each item has its own energy field and can be located via the dowsing instrument through a baiting process thereby causing the energies to form a common bond between them.
Some people attmept to relate dowsing to the ability of an animal to "smell" water. However, just as man has more ability than that of a stimulus-response animal, he too has more ability than that of just being able to locate water.
Dowsing is also called radiesthesia. This relates to the sensitivity of the radiations that emanate from people, water, minerals, and other items. Some people suspect that dowsing is realted to electromagnetism. Regardless of the reason that dowsing works, the fact remains...dowsing works !...PAPPY

Hey Dirt....Thanks for your interest in dowsing. Coat Hanger are not the best but they work. Make a set of L-rods with 5 inch handles and 16 inches long. Hold the rods lightley in front of you. Walk up and stand on a coin. Now tell use again why the rods crossed .....Art

i have seen it work for water. A local water company employee does it to find water pipes. Never seen them used to locate anything else so I can not coment any further.

Hey Tom....I had to have my sewer lines cleared of tree roots. The plummer said he would have to charge me $75 dollars extra because my line to the street was more than 75 feet long. I showed him with my rods that my line was only 50 foot long. I told him to pack up his truck as I would get an honest person to do the job....Art
