Oh, I just wanted you to know I am ALL better, post-accident. One for the history book. I am in my new chapter now. So nice that we can 'close' old chapters anytime we want, eh? They are all important pieces; the good, the bad, the ugly and even totaled ones that end up in the junkyard as scrap metal.Just a couple of things. First, Mastiff4me, the first PM was before I knew of your accident. The second one (reply) was sent before I wished you a quick and full recovery. You're in my prayers. Second, I had to come forward a few months to say something about 'dowsing'. (I'm only on page 30 of the thread.) I have used it quite a bit since the first time I saw a man locate a water line where I was about to dig a hole. He had 2 pieces of #12 solid copper wire bent into a 'L' shape. I have used just about every kind of wire that I had at the moment. Seemingly, to me, for me, the best is a couple of brazing rods. I've used them to find all kinds of things. I've never tried to find 'treasure' with them. The most important thing I've used them for I guess, was to find the size of an underground gasoline storage tank at a service station. A couple had bought the station which had been closed for several years and had no idea as to the size of the tanks. Normally, there are charts at the stations showing the size and capacity of the tanks and the amount of products that is in the tanks according to the depth of liquid in inches. I took a couple of brazing rods and found the ends and sides of the tanks, then used a 'gauge' (measuring) stick to get the depth of the tank. As for who can and who can not do this type of dowsing, I have yet to see anyone who can not do it. I had mentally challenged daughter who could do it as well as my wife, other daughter, and son. My son-in-law has no problem doing it either. Kinda hard to stay back in the thread when there is so much I want to say! I really didn't intend to come forward again until I had finished the thread, but --we'll see, maybe I can finish it before temptation overcomes me again! lol
