[meteorite-list] dowsing for meteorites--had to try it
I've watched this thread with some bemusement I must admit.Having never tried this dowsing lark I automatically dismissed it as bunkum.But I have just conducted an admittedly short and not very scientifically sound experiment also with large meteorites.Amazingly the rods do cross over my 6 kilo Gibeon and even my little 630gram Canyon Diablo.However they also crossed over 2 large stone meteorites that I tested both in the 3700 gram range.Weird Jim Brady __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

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 they only work in a situation when the operator has enough information to control them- even if that control is unconscious.
