I'm a little sceptical of diving. Never seen it going on first hand though. But I think it's more to do with gravity with the moon and tides, at least thats what I learnt at school.

Yep it's gravity and what causes gravity? Mass charges. The earth has an overall mass that when combined gives us the earths gravity. This gravity effect on mass produces weight. The moon on the other hand does not have as much total mass and therefor not as much overall gravity. So an ounce of gold on earth only weighs 0.83oz on the moon.
Unfortunately, no one actually knows what gravity is caused by in all instances, the amount of mass does not always equate to the amount of gravity and gravity can be present without mass? Gravity is not a constant in the universe.
Water is the base measurement of specific gravity and mass - by humans that is.

Ok, gravity and mass are linked according to Newton? But that does explain the existence of gravity in places with no mass, (no planets, suns etc.), therefore the theory of dark matter to explain why gravity exists where it shouldn't, but dark matter isn't proven as yet.
In regard to specific gravities, water is 1.0 or 1000 kgs to the cubic meter and is what we use to measure all other masses against, gold is 19,320 kgs to the cubic meter.

Divining has been known of for a long time as you can see by the painting. When the printing press was invented the old bibles which were previously copied by hand where tested according to scientific knowledge of the time. Although to "rub" amber against another material was known to cause sparks the theories of electricity had not been thought of then and so the work of a divining rod was believed to be the work of satan and was discarded/edited from the printing room and discarded as rubbish.

OH COME ON NOW. Where did you pull that crap from?
I already stated that the gravity on the moon is different to earth.
Sea level is the base measurement as the further you move away from sea level the less the effects of the earths gravity. That's why some instruments are calibrated at sea level.
Actually the worlds brightest minds still can't tell us exactly what gravity is....... This is one of the reasons the Large Hadron Collider was built to help particle physicists solve the mystery of gravity.......

I am not a skeptic but don't believe in much until I've seen it work.

Yes gravity is different on the moon v earth because of the relevant mass of each body and yes height above the surface reduces the effect of gravity, what I was eluding to is that gravity is evident without mass, and that's fact not crap and the earth's magnetic field and the effects of electrical resistance are probably more relevant than gravity?
It is more likely that divining is governed by the laws of electromagnetism rather than the laws of gravity, but that's just my humble opinion.

I'm just sharing my years of knowledge. I'm not saying go divine a 0.1g nugget. Rather use both tools to increase your chances. I don't detect anymore, don't need to, I know of good gold deposits. But if I was still into metal detecting and had the latest gear like some of you people have I would defiantly divine an area for charge before wandering around blindfolded. Think about it, most of the known areas have been trashed by detectors. Some people on this forum say look for this or that and detect just down the hill from it. What if you go to a hill that hasn't been mined and has no sign of reef exposure on top. There could be an exposure just out of your eyesight and detectors depth capabilities. If you divined that hill and the rod/s pointed to a spot, I would race to the car and get the shovel out start digging and detecting brother. I've seen some Placer deposits in some areas that I never thought they would exist. It's all in the fun of prospecting and learning more and more as you go.
