This morning shows proof of DOWSING.

[tymcmurray]

This morning I decided to narrow the field with my
dowsing rods.
I zeroed in and concentrated on a civil war button.
The rods directed me to and old foundation and on
my second hit I checked with my tesoro and came
up "coin". I dug, and found a brass button. No way
to be sure if it is civil war era, but I'll be dowsing
before I detect quite often now.
I find it amazing that if I am concentrating clear
enough, my dowsing rod ALMOST always hit
paydirt...............................Believe it or not.

Does anybody have any intelligent thoughts on this?

I was looking for a button and I found a button. Nothing else.
If you don't like the idea of dowsing, don't get into the conversation.
I have the feeling you just wrote a comment to be rude. Maybe I'm wrong.

Very cool story and post.
Can you make out what the button says on the back mark?
What model Tesoro are you using?
Congrats to you,
MM

I can't tell what it says. Just thought it was cool to find it that way.

I thought dowsing rods were used to find larger caches of gold, buried treasure, or for finding large underground water wells, etc. I didn't know you could use them to find tiny pieces of metal items in the ground like small buttons and individual coins.

Hmmmm....interesting. Never heard anyone post a topic like this before. I'm kinda wondering if you just got lucky like everyone else on this forum. You put yourself in a general area, and started to swing your detector. If there's metal in the ground, your detector will pick it up.

I do online research to tell me where old ground is. Once I find the general area, I begin to swing my coil, and wouldn't you know it, I start to find coins. Of course, I mostly detect city parks. The coins/trash are everywhere.

Captn, I went out in my horse field and concentrated on any old coins (older than me, LOL) I hit 3 spots and two of the 3 were old coins. No detectors involved. That has to be more that luck. By the way. I thought my horse field was clean because that is where I practiced detecting the first 6 months when I started.

Personally I don't believe in dowsing but that's just my opinion and not one that's based on any research or anything - so basically my opinion is worth about what everyone else is - nada

That said, if what you're doing works for you - go for it!!

Nice find and I hope you get many more.

Tymcmurray,

For years I use a pendulum to find coins and relic's! it's a great Tool.
some people thinks it's false: but it works for me: next Time print a good map of the area,
trained your self with a pendulum. use it on a map. you will find more targets!!!
I have dug coins over 32inch's deep.

Good hunting sapper

Thanks for the advice. I have a pendulum, I'll try what you said.

I have no stance as to whether or not dowsing works, but I do know this:

RESEARCH IS BETTER THAN DOWSING

And I have tried both. (Buckleboy tucks tail between legs and runs like hell...)

[DANGLANGLEY]

You can't really blame people for being skeptical about dowsing...

On the other hand, I was taught by my grandfather how to find metal objects that were buried in his yard. He put them there to train people how to dowse. My uncle Benny showed me how to find water too.

I am a believer!

I wouldn't say "RESEARCH IS BETTER THAN DOWSING", necessarily, but I would say the Research IS necessary!
No need to tuck tail and run. Intelligent comments appreciated.

I've seen dowsing donefor water before.Weirdest thing i have seen pretty neat though.

 

[joya_dorado]

Dowsing is one of those things where if you believe it's possible or you believe it's impossible...you're right.

 

[jeff of pa]

Since this post is in Todays Finds,
Which is for Showing off your Finds of the Day
and Not Discussing Dowsing.

I will say Congrats on your Finds !

Nice finds, congratulations...Ryan

Hi tym.... I actually believe that there is something in dowsing I once met a guy while i was metal detecting one afternoon he also used to detect but ill health had forced him to stop, this guy had a car boot full of dowsing rods each one charged to locate different things EG iron, lead silver gold and he claims even cancer, on another occasion I once read an article in the searcher treasure hunting magazine of a guy who had found several Gold staters in a Field, this guy had taken a photograph of the find spot and to his surprise were the coins were found on the picture each spot revealed a strange Aurora in exactally the same area the coin was found, so there must be something more to dowsing than meets the eye :P

 

[muleskinner]

Nice finds. By the way I've been an electrician for 30 years now. I dowse to locate buried conduits, works like a champ. I can even find buried plastic conduits with no wire in them. There's no hocus pocus to the type of dowsing I use. My dowsing rods are solid copper wire, I've shown other people how to do it with about 50 percent success.

Nice find with your Tesoro; those are
good machines.
