I tend to agree, a while back I off the top of my head said to Elfy "going to be thunder and lightning" in a minute, and then had to think about what sensations told me this. I think dowsing success is something like that, but on a more subtle level.

Sally, I agree with all of that, except for the last bit. If it doesn work that way, then it is scientifically demonstrable. Easily so.

i read a book by a chap called lethbridge (maybe )he seemed convinced by dowsing .
for water .read the landscape and flora .
for minerals read the geology
as for which bucket the cup of water is under

however i may be daft but i find very high voltage electric fields (330k power lines or thunderstorm )have a certain feel , even a charged balloon can be detected from an un charged one .
mabe some can detect very small field changes . maybe even smell water .
for a �gig its worth a go . start practising . better odds than the lottery .

Thanks to all for your helpful replies - if I continue with my dowsing successes, I'll be sure to remember your kind offer, Cab

I used to belong to the local dowsing group. Note "used to" (they have since folded up due partly to disagreements between the primadonnas on the committee.) Well - mixed experience - some genuine people and the sort of oddballs that anything deemed remotely "alternative" seems to attract.

IMHO it is all down to the individual - you don't actually need to use dowsing rods to "pick up" on what you are searching for, be it water or a lost ring - the rods just physically manifest what your body is picking up on an intuitive level. I think anyone can do it, but some people are more tuned in and open than others. See it on a level with walking into a room where there's just been an argument, and picking up on the atmosphere. There's nothing physically present there - but you can sense it. Some people are very good at divining for water - there's a chap locally who's a water diviner and who drives a very large and expensive 4x4 and travels round and tells farmers where to sink a borehole to find water - I don't think he has many failures, but I think that in his case it is down to a good eye for the landscape and years of personal experience.

Having said all that - I was NOT at all impressed by a field trip given by the dowsing group, when we "beginners" had a test set up by the very experienced members, where we had to go and test for our name on numbered pieces of paper. Not one person (if I remember rightly) got it right - and that included the people who had set it up. We didn't go back after that! Perhaps that just means that such tests don't work, but my faith in High Command took a nosedive

By the way, if you want an interesting experience, visit the Rollright Stones. There you are handed a pair of dowsing rods before you walk around the stones, and believe me, you get a remarkable reaction from the rods - they spin round and round and from that you may conclude that there IS something in it after all . . .
