I am able to dowse. I use L rods made from coat hangers. When I was learning how I held the rods in my fists and couldn't do any good at all. I was about to give up when I tried holding them with my finger tips and immediately they worked. I can grave dowse, water dowse and also map dowse with a pendlum. I've found 1/2 inch water lines in concrete floors for people and septic tanks and map dowsed for people who use metal detectors. I've even had a geologist come to my house late one night with some maps for me to do. Grave dowsing is particularly easy and the only thing that interferes is a windy day. I've never charged any money for dowsing and I am pretty laid back about it. It's not something I spend a lot of time at and once I learned how I mostly stopped unless someone requests me to. I only did it twice last summer. In fact when I signed on here I didn't even think about it until I saw this thread.
I can't explain it, but I don't think there is anything mystical or supernatural about it. I think most people could do it if they practised a little. It seems that I am somehow reacting to some sort of stimulus and the rods simply amplify what I'm doing. It's a natural thing, but science just hasn't gotten around to figuring it out yet. It wouldn't surprise me if someday there will be a satisfactory factual explanation for how it works. Just because science hasn't grasped it yet is no reason to deny its existence.
Honestly, I don't think it's such a great talent. If (most) anyone is determined enough to spend time practicing and experimenting, I think they could do as well as me. There is a lot of information on the net and just skip over the mystical stuff and try to develop a technique and it should show results. Look up grave dowsing and go to a cemetery and practice. That is how I got started.
I have a good friend who metal detects a lot more than me and he is somewhat skeptical, in principle, but he does admit that whenever I've map dowsed (copper) for him he has always found some wherever I've directed him to go. I think he's just reluctant to say it's real. If I'm looking for a particular metal with a map, I put a piece of that metal in my hand while I'm using the pendulum. My boss has a good size piece of land and he had me dowse a crude map of it once for copper just for an experiment since he questioned the whole thing. I found one place where the pendulum reacted strongly and when he seen where it was, he said there is a house there with copper plumbing. So he was impressed.
