A long time ago I proposed a simple map dowsing experiment whereby I would hide a target, provide a map, and see what results people gave. Several folks were interested but I then forgot about it. Recently someone emailed me wanting to do the same, so while they try their skills I thought I would expand the offer to forum denizens.
The target is a plastic container with a 20-ounce silver bar and a 10-ounce gold bar, pictured below. It is currently placed on some land in the attached aerial photo. The photo represents about 25 acres. Right now the ground is frozen and blanketed in snow so I am unable to bury it. Besides the target I've placed, the likelihood of there being any buried treasure in the photo is zero. The only history is some minor timber cutting 100 years ago and deer hunting.
If you are interested, download the aerial and dowse and mark the target. PLEASE ONLY DOWSE ONE LOCATION. Then EMAIL or PM me the results; PLEASE DO NOT POST THE RESULTS IN THE FORUM. The reason for this is that I would like as many truly independent results as possible without anyone getting led by someone else's results. After a week or so I will then post all the results, and perhaps do another round. The target will remain in place for the duration of the experiment.
NOTE TO NON-DOWSERS: If you don't dowse (or map dowse), then I urge you to simply guess the location. Again, email or PM me your guess. This is very valuable in differentiating map dowsing skills from guessing.
If anyone has suggestions for improving the experiment I'm all ears (eyes?). I've never tested map dowsing so I'm making it up as I go. Sorry, there are no prizes, maybe in the future.
