Dowsing/divining for gold

[hAyyoUinAU]

I'm in the process of researching sinking a bore at my place. Have contacted 4 contractors and all use divining rods.

I have heard it working for water....not seen it. But for GOLD??? That is my big scepticism.

 

[hAyyoUinAU]

These guys should go claim the many million dollar prizes that are out there if you can prove Dowsing works.

Problem is, no one has.

My uncle was a true bushman and on occasion a water diviner, he was highly efficient in everything he did, mustering, horse breaking, fencing, butchering, timber getting with a bullock team, well sinking, making damper and a billy tea.

Being scientifically minded, it is an art that I don't understand, but my mind has always been open as if it didn't add value to his endeavours my uncle would not have wasted a moment deploying his divining rods.

I met a guy in the bush earlier this year who used his wires to locate a run of quartz reef. I returned a short time later to see he was straight on to what he was after.

I have put researching and giving them a go on my bucket list.

I guess it is like a magician, if he makes that coin disappear and reappear as a note, and you saw it right in front of your eyes, its must be TRUE.

Remember one common thing, it is not the rods turning, or an unknown force upon them, it is the hands turning them. That is why they are held in the hands.

Reminds me of the GOLD Radar Detectors. lol. Hey, they have rods that move too. Must be real. There are videos of people finding treasure with them. So they must work hey??

 

[hAyyoUinAU]

I will stick with science on this one. And keep using research, boots on ground, panning and detecting to find my gold.

What I don't understand is why they can't prove it in a controlled environment?

Dowsing = Ideomotor effect.

Mate of mine contracted a water diviner/drilling mob that supposedly had a 90% success rate. Three holes later & thousands in drilling costs = no water.
We're over huge underground water systems here too both artesian & spring. It's caused issues historically to underground gold mining & continues to cause issues with underground mining today. I reckon most could hit about 90% accuracy around here without the rods.

I have tried divining with the rods loose in my hands and held parallel to the ground they do move by themselves. I don't know why.

I guess some undeniable scientific proof of a differential relationships between two points in space and a distinct measurable response has been proven to all of us through the invention and success of the humble metal detector.

How this fact may relate to a forked piece of foliage or a couple of pieces of iron is beyond me, but there seems to be a relationship that has failed to dismissed the concept over the last couple of thousands of years.

Don't think it will rock my boat but I am willing to give them a practical trial for history's sake alone.

Thought much the same about the $99 ALDI detector and was completely surprised with the results, my boat was rocked, although no amount of convincing of XP magical powers will convince me to buy a French detector.

And when your not she'll dowse you to bring you upto scratch.

Before getting a bore sunk on my property, the water bore driller wandered around my back yard - 1/2 acre.

He reckoned he found water. I was not there, so had no idea of the area he was referring to.

After arriving home from work and before he'd even set up his rig, he gave me two bent bits of heavy gauge fencing wire. He showed me how to hold them loosely. Then said walk around the yard anywhere you want and yell out where the wires moved and crossed over.

Did it and yelled out when the wires moved.

After some trecking around the yard I reckoned there were two pathways where the wires kept crossing over/moving. He then told me he had found the same and showed me where these two underground pathways intersected. That's where he sunk the bore.

He went down 17 Metres and hit water. That was 8 years ago and we have had access to thousands of litres of great quality bore water. That bore has never gone dry.

Prior to that experience I was as big a cynic as possible.... but no longer... as I did the water divining myself.

So for water diving it works for me.

When I was about 16 years old (about 50 years odd ago) and I was waiting for my apprenticeship to come through, I got a job on the Water Board as a labourer laying large sewerage pipes and the foreman needed to find a metal water pipe before sending the backhoe in to dig a trench. I was watching him walking around and when the wires crossed he said that that was where the pipe was. I told him bull er I mean bovine excrement, so he gave me the wires and told me to walk across the pipes and to my amazement the wires did cross over by themselves. I cant remember whether he knew how deep the pipe was, but he definitely knew its location.

I have not tried it since and I dont know whether it can be used for other applications, but it certainly worked for me then. Several years ago I met a guy at Waanyara who claimed he was a professional diviner and said that he was successful at finding gold as well as water. He told me that he has a variety of divining rods, made of different metals to suit the type of target he was looking for.

As for their accuracy, I guess you could compare them to metal detectors and their operators. Some are successful and others not quite so. Should that then make one skeptical about metal detectors?

righto.... I'm gunna move on this.. gunna be a bit dearer than an alditecta, but, I recon I could make (and deliver australia wide included in the price) sets of dowsing rods for the home handyman or bush aficionardo for $120.00 a set ,.... what 'dya recon ?

Make sure you put a sticker on it. Otherwise it is not authentic. :Y: :Y:

Did you just compare Metal Detectors to Dowsing?????????

 

[hAyyoUinAU]

Everyone knows metal detectors don't work. That is why everyone is dowsing.

Look at all those idiots who spent thousands on metal detectors. Tsk Tsk. So misled hey.

Oh...Kangaroos can smell water under the ground. Maybe they know where the gold is too.

a combo though.... opperators included :Y:
