Hi Mckinney, It's been suggested that mesosiderites are the result of a collision of a parent body containing eucrite material and core material. The result is a melting of the material and forming the nearly equal parts of metal to silicate. There is a lot that is not understood yet about

Dowsing this way has always been an amusing party trick, like a Ouija board. It takes an imperceptible shift in position to make the rods move, so all sorts of unconscious cues can make it happen. As a result, the rods seem to have a mind of their own. But the important thing to realize is that

I don't appreciate having words put in my mouth. I did not say Einstein's opinion should not impress anybody; I said his opinion about dowsing was no better than anybody else's, since he had made no special study of the matter at all. Indeed, all he said in the quote what that he couldn't say

Phil, I'm a bit confused. If dowsing is so effective as you describe, why would anyone spend all that money on a metal detector? A couple of bent coat hangers cost a lot less, not to mention the reduction in weight makes searching a meteorite strewnfield all day long much less tiring! I

Hi everyone. Looks like Phil went from being a skeptic to a believer just by trying it out. Dowsing does not work for everyone. A mine lab detector doesnt always work in highly mineralised ground either. The million dollar test requires trying to find over 75%non conductive or inductive
