Why would you even bring up dowsing that is not and option here,the true way it is figured out is how it is engineered. One thing also you keep hammering on Kenworthy and you never even meet the man and you want to be judge, jury and the executioner here. Now you want a true treasure hunter to take you out and show you it does exists just for your benefit after criticizing the way it is figured out.
On Kenworthy, I know nothing about the man other than what I read in old Treasure mags, but regardless of who he was I find his books to be useless. It all looks made-up, and I've never seen any evidence to the contrary. If there is evidence, then "show me" is the appropriate applied standard.
I bring up dowsing because it has very close parallels in terms of claims and evidence. Did the Spanish utilize dowsing in locating all their gold & silver? Despite what dowsing books claim, probably not, but people sure like to believe the dowsing books. Did the Spanish leave treasure caches all over the place with vague, natural-looking markers that need obscure contortions of imagination to figure out? That's exactly what I'm asking here.
My threshold is a little higher than "Sandy said it's true so it is" which is exactly why I asked about historical references. If "Sandy said so" is all there is (or "Chuck said so"), then "show me" again becomes appropriate, ironically the same as with dowsing. Dowsers like to talk up their abilities, but when I say "show me" more often than not they tell me the only way I will ever believe in dowsing is to get a dowsing rod and prove it to myself, which makes the next quote particularly amusing.
I have heard the prove it question asked many times on here, however I have given the tools and information for everybody to go out and prove it for themselves.
There are only a few reasons anybody wants somebody else to prove these treasures exist to them, and those are 1: they are too lazy to do it themselves, 2: they want to get the person they are asking to prove it in trouble with the law, or 3: they want to steal the treasure for themselves.
Or, they're writing a book on treasure hunting fictions. Dowsing, LRLs, auras, markers, and legends like Lue, KGC, Beale, Oak Island, etc. Stuff people love to believe in despite a glaring lack of evidence.
Sandy, I got nothing personal against you. Probably you're a great guy; that's been my experience with virtually all the dowsers & LRL users I've met. I'm researching for my book, and with treasure markers you're the most vocal guy around. That's why I'm asking for a field trip. Like I said before, where there are conspiracy theories, there usually isn't anything else. Mostly someone looking for an alibi.
Ironically, say a fine kind of joke to write about.
