I swear I'm gonna go find a rope and hang myself right now. Not dowsing and divining rods again........

Water witching is one thing... finding treasure is another.

Haven't heard from this fellow in a while, I hope he wasn't serious.
I fully agree I dont think the rods them self are capable of finding cions by their self. But in defence of my purchase and maybe it is junk sceince. If a item like say a dime was putting off a radio signal than it might be able to be picked up by say a antena which is in effect what the dowsing rods are. Molecular resonation is a proven scientific fact and most of us wear a small resonator on our hands its called a quarts watch. Every mineral has its own frequency that causes it to resonate and the byproduct of this resonation is a harmonic radio signal. The resonation is so constant you can keep time off it. Im still not convinced that the machine I have is really functioning in this capacity. I would love to have someone put it on a ocillascope and test it to see if its doing anything at all. But it seems to work and I am not moving the rods and friends who try it are shocked when the rods move as they are scepticle as well. One freind threw the rods down and said I DONT KNOW WHATS MAKING THOSE MOVE BUT IT FREAKS ME OUT. I would love to have anyone who wants to check it out. I will more than willingly set up for anyone who is around this area as I wouldnt expect people to travel just for this. My goal would not be to prove dowsing as this can not be done but to get other opinions and to see what even the most scepticle do when those rods move and their not doing it. The only success I have had with it is in controlled tests and picking a spot to dredge. I have followed other signals but seems to always be something in my way like private land or the signal is five feet down under a huge tree or under a lava cap. Places I cant access and lets face it hoards of loot are not just everywhere. You have to be lucky just be close enough to be in range. Im not trying to argue with anyone so keep in mind my post is full of ifs and maybes and supposed toos. And every thing is open to debate. Thats what makes our country great.Finding a water line - okay I can handle that. Big object, lots of water in it ... close range there could be some scientific way to prove this.
Finding a body of water underground - I can handle this as well.
Remember back to my all of my classes I took - majored in Chemistry - from basic Chemistry to physics to so many long hours reading on topics well above my head with toothpicks under my eye lids for support. Large bodies might give off enough of an attraction to make rods move. Toss a baseball into the air and it does not affect the earth very much. If you could toss a large enough object into the air from the ground - talking about a massive object - it could affect the earth. The moon which is a long ways away affects are earth ... tides. So on a smaller scale I can deal with it.
But as for using divining rods to find coins ... this I'm extremely skeptical about and would have to see someone do it for a period of time before I could buy into it. A merc dime is small ... a nickel is small ... heck even a silver dollar in comparison to all things that lay around it is small.
Just my rambling thoughts.

I made a Loaded Wand out of 1" copper pipe and two caps.
Soldered a brass flexable rod to one cap.
Curled 7 wraps and soldered a brass pointer on it.
Put a gold ring, silver coin inside it.
Carry it hunting and hold it out once in awhile.
If used right, it always points to the goodies.
godigit1,
That makes me wonder if that's why the man in the newpaper article (post #1)
used silver on the end of his rod in order to locate the silver coins.
He said something about the small piece of silver would be attracted to the large cache of silver.
Kind of sounds like he was saying the same thing doesn't it?
Pfft skeptics!
In this case it worked plain and simple. Could I repeat it? Not very likely. Does this convince me dowsing doesn't work? Not in the least bit.
The Wand works fine for me because,
1) I Programed my Wand
2) I ask yes/no questions or direction
While water hunting with the boat, it tipped to the right.
I almost pulled the boat up on top of a womans gold band.
At the Park, it'll point, and that's the direction I go.
I find the normal things that everybody else does.
Sometimes everything is so distracting, I can't focus.
Then it does act like a piece of pipe and a coiled wire.
It's a small Wand I carry in my bag while out hunting.
I think it's alot of fun, once you understand it.
OH I am going to stop being polite. This is the friendly METAL DETECTOR FORUM ...moderators please make the nutjobs go away. If you cant handle real science you do not belong here. If you want the Bunga-Bunga , good mojo sweet lucky Ju-Ju metal detector forum...go start it...dont bring it here!
