Here are kits you can use to find meteorites-- looks like they can be tuned to any mineral! http://simmonsscientificproducts.com/products.html (I guess these are the fake dowsing rods, though-- not the real ones that operate via handwavium.) __ Visit

Eric, That's ok. This is all just good fun, it's nothing personal. When you're arguing from a position of ignorance and basically don't know what you're talking about, you have to resort to ridicule. When you have no factual information to back up your argument, the only thing you can do is

OK, here is what needs to be done. (1) Get 10 non see through buckets that wont even show shadows. (2) Get ten items. A couple meteorites, toys, other crystals etc (3) Make sure that the person with the dowsing rod knows exactly what all the items are like so that he/she can properly view them

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

Darren: You're missing the central point about dowsing. You can't remove the human element. That's what makes it work. Someone I know already made your argument. They put the rods is narrow glass jars to stabilize them. That cancelled the effect. Direct contact with the galvanic skin
