The first time was about 1961 when I was working for a county surveyor. He kept his office in his home in the country. One day I mentioned dowsing and he said he could show me how to do it.

We went walking in the woods on his farm and he picked up a forked branch and told me to start walking and see if anything happened (Unbeknown to me he had positioned me to face in a certain direction).

I was approaching the edge of a drop off and was going to stop or turn when the branch pulled down hard. He said you are over water! He was walking to the side of the drop off and told me to follow him. The drop off was the edge of a cave over a natural spring that he knew of and he knew the dowsing would work.

Anyone here tried dowsing? [View all] PADemD Feb 2016 OP
