Hey BDD if you're still monitoring this forum I have a suggestion for you. There are companies that use LIDAR to map areas on the earth's surface from sattelites. You can do a web search for them. To cover a small area such as your target area would be within your means to have scanned. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hello everybody. I'm in the swamp on a weak cellphone signal. I have been here since august. I was hoping to read some good news from BDD but it appears he doesn't post here anymore. Is there another thread he posts on? You got to admit he's an interesting guy although unconventional. Did he find the big cache? How is everybody else doing?

Hey Cypress,
No, he hasn't been around for a month. No internet in the bottom of the hole.
You've been in the swamp since August? How's the rum supply holding up?

I don't really care for all the sniping going on...if BDD wants to go for it, hey, no skin off of anyone else's back, right? As for dowsing, we had our well witched in the Sierras about 10 years ago. The water witch found the new well area about 50 from the old well spot. She said the best water would be between 245 and 255 feet down just under a layer of volcanic filter rock. BOOM! 248 feet down we hit a beautiful underground stream bed with 20 gallons per minute of some of the best water I have ever tasted. My interest in dowsing was originally piqued during a trip to the Australian outback in the early nineties. I was staying at an outback station with a group of travelers and we took a trip deep into the bush with the rancher. He showed us a remote water station for his cattle and told us that he found the underground water, in an extremely dry area, using dowsing. He cut a Y shaped branch from a nearby tree and stripped it down. He held it and walked around. When he crossed the underground water the branch would do a forceful nosedive. He explained that it had to do with people's individual electromagnetic field. To show his theory in effect, he handed the branch off to anyone who wanted to try. Most felt the tug of the branch, myself included, but when he put his hand on my shoulder the branch immediately pointed downwards with such force that the wood twisted and cracked. I don't know how this applies to dowsing for precious metals and minerals but I for one am a believer!

Thanks Charlie. I'm still hoping he finds something CHUDs. Too bad it can't find precious metals as well as water.

My friend is just tired of all the negative response from hanger-ons that had no life of their own. Too bad, because he had one of the most interesting threads ever posted here.

I have just finished reading through this thread from start to finish. It seems to me if a treasure hunter employs a certain method for cache hunting or finding precious metals etc. and they are a believer and it is proven for THEM, then why do others find it necessary to attack that method or harangue that hunter with "bounties" etc. This forum is a place for sharing ideas and learning and to enjoy reading about other peoples searches, and sometimes finds...... If you don't like or disagree with a topic or a method....move on, you don't have to read it. Discussions or debates about methods of treasure hunting or research etc can be constructive without being disrespectful. I enjoy reading about people's "quests" or searches for treasure and methods used. The challenges and posting bounties to "prove" your side are irritating to say the least........Jeez People
Come on back BDD. I would venture to say that there are more people who enjoyed following your threads and your progress and sometimes setbacks, than the few who poke at you with sticks. Maybe those folks have had issues with a person in a past thread or other encounter. "Take it outside fellas" as the old saying goes....
Be safe and stay warm.....Mark

If you want to get a good look at Big Dog Dads stuff, go to page 2 and look at Pirates treasure, permit to dig. He only had about 117,000 views. Very interesting, until the naysayer jerks forced the moderator to cut it off. Again...too bad.

The first line will answer your questions. "I joined Treasurenet to tell some of my story and try to get help." I believe the naysayers were honestly trying to help him.

Any "poking with stick" of BDD will earn timeouts. Seems warnings don't work for some....

I guess the naysayer jerk comment was OK. Myself I was just a little curious if BDD has made any finds. I have been gone from this site for a long time and BDD hasnt posted since last year. Maybe its best to just let it die out. Im not really that interested.

You might want to go back when you catch up with current world events.
But it's good you've surfaced.
