What is Dowsing? Dowsing is the ability to make underground locations with the

aid of a divining rod.

A diving rod may take many different forms.

Some divining

rods are taken from the fork of a willow tree.

Some divining

rods are manufactured according to very precise standards.

What makes the divining rod react to underground locations? Many different items give off a radiation.

These radiations

permit a divining rod used by a dowser to determine the location of the search item.

The human is a sensitive creation. ’’mother’s intuition.”

All of us accept a

While we are willing to accept this

aspect in many females, we, as Americans, are less likely to accept that same situation in males.

Some people believe it

is not masculine for a man to have feelings similar to ’’mother’s intuition.”

Our society, rightfully, encourages

boys to be masculine.

For many people this intuition is

suppressed to ensure the boys are masculine when grown.

To

be masculine is not to have an "intuition” similar to that

described.

I believe that a manufactured dowsing rod is an advantage to

the homemade rod for several reasons.

Page 2

First, the

manufacturer has had an opportunity to complete research and development.

The person who makes his own rod will not have

the advantage of having any experimentation upon which to

base his dowsing rod building.

Second, the manufacturer has

the ability to use the finest materials.

In contrast the

homemade dowsing rod will probably be made from what ever the

person has available at the time.

Throughout this course experiments are provided to aid you in

developing a successful dowsing technique regardless of the

search item.

A word of caution must be added quickly.

Caution should be exercised that dowsing is not a "parlor game."

That is, if you want to become successful in making

locations in the field, I urge you to take your practice

sessions seriously.

Later in this course I will provide you with a listing of various dowsing topics that people have used.

As you

practice and learn dowsing you will have some topic that you use routinely.

I would like for you to jot me a note with

your special topic.

You can write to Simmons Scientific

Products, Post Office Box 10057, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-3792 U.S.A.

Above I mentioned that I do not recommend that a dowser, especially a beginning dowser, get into the parlor game

setting.

There is a very specific reason for this

Page 3

recommendation.

Unless the dowser is very good, he will not

be able to focus his attention on the task due to the

distractions caused by the situation.

These interferences

may cause him to loose his concentration and then fail. situation similar to this is one that permit a fail-fail

situation rather than a win-win situation.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction Why would a person want to write a book such as this one? believe all of us can learn to become better people.

I

For me

the biggest thrill is the ability to make a recovery in the

field after dowsing the site.

The sequence is the ’’idea,”

the ’’hunt,” the ’’find,” and ultimately the ’’recovery.”

The wealth that is in the ground within the borders of the

United States is sufficient to make every American wealthy. Couple this with the fact that the United States is a ’’young”

nation, there is no limit to the wealth that is in the ground around the world.

One objective of The Revised

Professional*s Complete Dowsing Course is to show how anyone with practice, patience, and persistence can locate his fair

share of that wealth.

This course is for the person who wants to learn about dowsing.

That person may have no experience, limited

experience, or a lot of experience.

That person may have

many hours, or even days, of field experience.

If you want

to develop your dowsing skills or if you want to improve your dowsing skills you are taking the proper step.

This course will offer help to the person who needs it.

So

many of us need a ’’jump start” in the beginning of any new

activity.

Dowsing is no different.

Page 6

Some people will grasp

the concepts quickly and others will have to work harder on the concepts to achieve the same degree of success.

I

believe that is the case in all professions, some people are

the BEST and others work at their job making the entire operation a success.

Why is this?

Some people may have a

stronger personal interest in their field or.they may be looking for that spark to ignite them.

Dowsing may provide

that spark to permit you to rise to the top!!

I get letters daily from people asking for more information on dowsing.

I want to answer each one of those letters

personally.

Unfortunately time does not permit that daily

personal attention.

The Revised Professional *s Complete

Dowsing Course is an attempt to provide you with the specific information that you need to make a successful location.

This is a comprehensive dowsing course.

There may be

segments that will be interesting to you and not to others. Read and use the parts that you need to make your successful field location.

If you cannot use a section, do not worry

about it.

This course's purpose is to explain dowsing to the reader who

wants to use dowsing to improve his self-awareness and his

life.

This course is for the person who wants to improve his

sensitivities.

This course is for the person who wants to

improve his ability to make successful field locations.

Page 7

Some people are able to go into the field and make their

location the first time they pick up the dowsing rod.

Other

people must work at dowsing until they have the confidence that they know how to dowse and how to use the dowsing rods

properly.

There is no bigger thrill than the first field location.

feeling again.

You

You will never experience that same

The ultimate satisfaction is when you can

pick up the dowsing rod and make repeated field locations.

With practice everyone who reads this manual will develop his

dowsing ability.

Some will develop it to a high degree.

These people will experience a very fulfilling experience.

Others will develop their dowsing ability to a lesser degree. These people will experience a gratifying adventure.

They

will be able to make a location with some work and some

expenditure of energy.

Finally, there will be a third group

of people who read this course.

They will make an occasional

field location, but they will enjoy the ability to use dowsing.

They may be the ones who determine an application

that is unique to their needs.

Dowsing is a highly individualized skill that must be worked on by the individual for years at a time.

Throughout this

course you will be able to reduce years of work to a much more manageable level.

I expect this course to reduce the

time required for the novice to be successful.

It will

benefit you only if you use it daily as illustrated here.

After practicing, you then must go into the field.

While in

the field you apply the skills you have practiced.

These

skills will permit you to make your successful location.

There is no substitute for having your own personal

instruction, such as you get in the two day seminars.

One of the most important aspects of dowsing is that of persistence.

If you are easily discouraged, give dowsing a

chance by using it daily and you will be amazed at how fast

you will start using it regularly in your daily life.

In

fact, in a few short weeks you will wonder how you were able

to live without dowsing.

Dowsing as an art and science is open to anyone willing to learn a few basic techniques.

of expensive equipment.

Dowsing does not require a lot

Dowsing does not require a lot of

continuing expenses, as some activities do.

Dowsing permits

a person to gain personal satisfaction and financial rewards.

A few people find that they can dowse successfully with the Y-rods of old.

Some people find that a bent welding rod is

all that is necessary.

However, most people, those who are

serious, about making successful field locations for treasures or minerals usually purchase a manufactured dowsing

rod.

finest manufactured dowsing rods on the market today, contact

I believe that there is sufficient treasures for each of us in our "own backyard."

It is not necessary for anyone to

travel from one coast to the other to find that "Big One."

A

person who travels across several time zones will need time

to recover from the trek and get his "body clock" back on track.

Some people will buy a dowsing rod and expect to find

that treasure which has eluded him for years in a matter of a few hours or less.

Part of the

reason for this added acceptance is that today’s modern equipment enables so many people access to dowsing. people are making locations.

These

Many of these locations would

not have been made if it was not for dowsing.

Southwestern United States had the Spanish Dip Needle being

The Spanish Dip Needle came

as a result of the early Spaniards visiting the Southwest. These Spaniards wanted to find gold.

The Spanish Dip Needle

enabled these early settlers to find more gold than they would have discovered without the aid of this ancient dowsing

instrument.

In some European countries divining is a highly respected skill.

Masters have to demonstrate their skills.

Certifications are available for diviners in some European

reports that a great deal of time and energy was exerted to help understand and cultivate the skill.

Fundamental Procedures Dowsing is the science of searching for radiations from items

that are not visible.

The primary instruments for the

location of these radiations is the Precision Master Rod, the

PMR II, or the PMR III.

These manufactured units enable many

people to make successful locations.

Some people make their

locations only because they use a quality dowsing instrument. The dowsing unit selected may mean the difference between a

successful recovery and only a pleasant trip into the field.

Basic Procedures Dowsing permits a person to locate the radiations given off At the seminars I teach and in

by items via a dowsing rod.

my personal use, I find the Precision Master Rod, the PMR II,

and PMR III are the units that will "bring home the bacon."

Each person will have his own "fingerprint style" for dowsing.

That is good.

No two of us are exactly alike.

The

purpose of this section is to offer proven methods of using dowsing rods and letting you practice each method and

determining your best method.

Your best method is defined as

the method that will produce results.

"Results" is defined

as making a recovery.

Some say that with every breath we breathe we inhale air molecules that were inhaled by Julius Caesar, George

Page 24

Washington, and other famous people.

In a similar manner,

the radiation of an item is given off for the dowsing rod to

detected it.

The specific task of the dowser and the dowsing

rod is to sort out the exact radiation site for your successful recovery from all of the other radiations in the

field.

The dowsing instrument that has the ability to have a

sample placed in its chamber has been very successful in assisting the dowser in making his recoveries.

Our daily activities are made easier by physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

We often hear of items that would have not

been developed without the help of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Association) and similar forward looking research

organizations.

We can measure sound with a decibel

We can measure radiation by using a Geiger counter.

With dowsing instruments we can determine the location of items whose placement would be unknown without the dowsing

instrument.

of people who attend the two day seminars and before these people leave the seminars, they are able to successfully

dowse with these instruments.

American gold coin that you can purchase from a local coin shop.

You are investing in gold.

You should not worry about

spending the money since you will be able to get your money back from the gold.

Not only that, look at what you are

trying to find with your dowsing rod.

Are you going to let a

few dollars stand in the way of your find?

Now, after you have secured a high quality sample you will need to learn how to understand your dowsing instrument.

You

will need to know when it is "locking" onto an item of value or when it is not "locking" onto an item of value.

When the

dowsing unit "locks" onto an item of value, the unit, if it

is an L-rod, points out the direction of the item from the standing spot of the dowser.

In this manner, the dowser

Why is this?

give out vibrations.

There are many different items that This is one aspect of dowsing that we

must be aware of as we work to make successful field

locations.

In the field, people who are sending out "bad

Page 29

vibes" should be avoided.

Their vibes may handicap the

dowser to the extent that this distraction may be the

difference between a successful recovery and just a nice trip

into the field.

Throughout the manual and while in the

field, you will have the basic procedures outlined here for you to refer back to therefore enabling your success.

While you are in the field you must ensure that you are

asking the question that you think you are asking.

You may

have one question at the conscience level and another at the subconscious level.

A word of caution, is that you may think

you are clearly focused but you know that you have not worked as much as you should have worked in getting your concentrations ready for the search, for reading this manual,

or for doing your practice sessions.

You may hear (one of

those protection senses) something in the distance and just at the wrong time your thought process is broken by that

sound.

This example relates to sound, but the same may be

said for any of the senses.

Do what you can to keep your

attention focused on your task.

A second reason that you may have a nice trip to the field

rather than a successful recovery is that you may want to find the items so desperately that you are sending out the answer to your search item rather than letting the rod

provide the direction to the location.

There are some who

state that more errors are made due to self-delusion and

Page 30

auto-suggestion than any other reason.

There is more on this

later in The Revised Professional*s Complete Dowsing Course.

A third reason that you may make a nice trip into the field rather than ’’bringing home the bacon,” is that you have not

let your dowsing rod react to the setting.

You may have gone

too fast or you may have misunderstood the reactions of the

rod.

An old adage states ’’haste makes waste.”

There is

nothing wrong with being slow and deliberate as you work in the field.

These deliberate actions may provide some

distinct advantages for the dowser.

Another reason for having a nice trip into the field rather

than ’’bringing home the bacon” is that you may have the wrong

dowsing instrument for your search or for your dowsing style. One tremendous advantage of the dowsing units manufactured by Simmons Scientific Products is that the Universal Antenna Rod, the Precision Master Rod, the PMR II, and the PMR III

all provide you with the four basic types of dowsing

instruments, L-rod, Y-rod, pendulum and wand.

In this manner

you can determine the best unit for you and have the others

as back-up systems for other specific tasks.

One method that some have adopted to assist their efforts to

make successful field locations is that of an indifferent attitude toward their dowsing search.

A few people have

taken an approach that they have a ’’careless attitude” about

Page 31

the recovery.

That is, they try to trick themselves into

thinking that they are going into the field to have fun and

if they make a location OK, if not that is OK, too.

Many

people will find this approach difficult since they are so

personally involved in the activity.

However, if you are a

wel1-disciplined person you may find that you can separate

yourself from the search outcome enough to use this method of assistance.

Throughout this manual you will be encouraged to practice. Just as the professional athlete practices to enable him to

perform will during the game, so must you practice to enable It is easier to control the

noises, the distractions, and the attitude needed during a

practice session than it is in the field.

Do not let your

wishful thinking get in the way of your field work.

You may use a sequence of exercises similar to the following that was first published in The Professional *s Complete Dowsing Course.

1.

Your objective is to have quality input

You must work toward your successes.

Nothing worthwhile comes easy.

There are several rules that may summarize some of what is being discussed here and also lead into subsequent

Page 33

discussions later in the manual.

1.

Have a clear concept of your task firmly in your mind.

2.

Have your concepts phrased so they have a single focus and if phrased as a question/ they can be answered by a

simple "yes" or "no."

3.

Use strong clear words. answered.

Questions asked are questions

Make sure that you have a clear understanding

of the meanings of the words you are using.

4.

Do not dwell on a question by asking it repeatedly.

5.

If you are personally involved you may prefer for another

dowser to help you in your quest.

Just as a doctor does

not operate on a family member, you may prefer to have

someone else dowse for something that is close to you. 6.

Ensure that you have secured the proper direction from

the rod before you move to the next item, or direction,

or question. 7.

Take your time to ensure accuracy.

If you know the answer to a question or to a specific quest, why waste your time and energy using the dowsing

rod?

8.

Do not use dowsing as a parlor game.

There will be times when you do not have enough personal knowledge to preform a search.

When that happens, ask

the person for whom you are doing the work to provide you with the question.

Make sure that you clearly understand

what you are asking, since you are the one doing the

dowsing.

9.

Respect others as you want to be respected.

Do not worry if someone Use what works for you.

The accuracy of your results is proportional to the quality of your consciousness.

Here is an experiment that is broken down into four different individual tasks.

Each task may be done one at a time on the

same day or they may be done over a series of four days.

Page 35

Of

course, the preferred method would be to do each of the four tasks each of four consecutive days.

In this manner, you

will be able to see the pattern of your results over time.

The purpose of these early experiments is to provide each person with a reference point for positive and negative

reactions.

For some people, the pendulum may swing to and

fro, for some people the pendulum may swing back and forth, for other people the pendulum may circle clockwise and for

still other people the pendulum may circle counterclockwise.

The intent is for each person to determine his own reaction,

and that each reaction for positive be different than each

reaction for negative.

Finally before providing you with the experiment there are

blank sheets at the end of the manual for each experiment. You may complete those sheets as you complete each experiment.

Experiment |1 Equipment needed:

Law of Similars Many people have stated this law in different ways.

One of

the best methods to state this law is : There is a bond between similar items that is not affected by the distance between those items.

In dowsing the application of this law is the use of baits,

samples, and witnesses as aids in the location of the search items.

Some people have used the term witness as that sample

that is used in dowsing for health and illness or as that

sample that is used outside the dowsing instrument. outside sample may be held in the dowser's hand.

This

The terms

bait and samples are usually used for items that are placed Page 41

in the bait chamber of the dowsing instruments.

As stated earlier,

the closer the sample is to the item of

search the greater the assistance the dowser has to make the location.

that may restrict someone from a particular activity.

Now another question is to what level of success can a person achieve success?

This is a direct function of dedication and

Most things worth having, you must work

Now, as stated earlier, if you will follow the

suggestions provided for you in this manual you will find

You must give dowsing time to work unless you

are one of the lucky few who have the "natural ability" and

can make that location the first time you venture into the field.

Page 42

If you have a concern about holding your hand steady as you

learn to dowse thereby permitting good accurate dowsing rod or pendulum responses, then you can build up the strength in the hand or arm with exercises.

Call me at (919) 686-1656

[after December 1, 1993, the area code is (910)] for specific

suggestions.

Some people approach dowsing with the attitude that it will

not work for them.

Then after they get the Precision Master

Rod, PMR II, or PMR III in their hand they are amazed. Dowsing will work for you if you will let it, if you have a

good quality instrument, and if you will practice daily. Those are the keys to successful dowsing.

Now get to work so

you can go into the field and make your recovery!

Some people claim that they are not smart enough to learn to dowse.

Some people are concerned that they do not have

enough education to dowse.

These concerns are just excuses

for not doing what they know they should do.

Dowsing does

not require any degree from a prestigious university.

Dowsing requires picking up the rod, baiting it, having a good attitude, and going into the field after some practice

sessions.

That is it!

Nevertheless, the more information

you have about a search item the greater your chances of success.

Stated again, if you have reason to believe that a

cache is buried in a post hole bank and it is in an iron safe

Page 43

you do not have good information.

That is a weakness in your

efforts to secure information.

There are some people who believe that dowsing is passed from generation to generation along family lines or through some

other method.

Experience has shown that is not true.

Dowsing can be learned by anyone willing to learn dowsing.

There are some people who are able to develop different skill levels then other people.

By that I mean that some of you

will become very skillful at dowsing.

The level of

proficiency you develop is up to you.

As stated before, you

will determine your level by your energy, your attitude, your

practice time, your equipment quality, and your bait quality.

you find that the experiments are going fine and that you are getting them completed at the 80% success rate then continue

at that rate, since that satisfies you.

Exactly the

Some days the dowser

will have everything going for him and days when things do not seem to be going right.

During the off days, just put

the rod aside and do not cause yourself the stress of

situation.

As you know from personal experience, the next

day may be a good day.

So just be patient, practice on every

one of your good days, and be patient.

Those three traits of

practice, patience and persistence along with a quality

dowsing instrument, will spell the difference between being successful and just having a nice trip into the field.

In the Beginning You have a particular reason that you bought your dowsing rod and a particular reason that you bought this manual.

are perfectly good reasons.

These

Now you will find that dowsing

has opened up a whole new world for you.

Some of the

applications you will find you will not have dreamed of just

a minute ago.

With each experiment you will gain information

that will help you.

If you will do each experiment two or

Page 46

three times you will find that your successes will come even faster.

You will find an application in your job, in your

daily life, and in your hobbies as you never thought you would.

One important aspect that you are being taught is

that you must use dowsing to get better at it.

Use it daily

to improve.

One condition that will help you in the beginning stages of

learning to dowse is to do it about the same time daily.

in

this manner you will become accustomed to the same activities

taking place and you will pay less attention to those distractions and more to your task of dowsing.

Now as you

progress and become able to filter out more distractions then

you can practice and use dowsing any place you would like to use it.

Recall, one aspect of this manual is to provide you

with all the help it can.

And to practice at the same time

daily in the same place will help the beginner get used to

the outside noise and therefore focus his attention on the task at hand, completion of the dowsing task.

In the beginning some people want their dowsing rods to react quickly.

However, things may not work that way.

In the

first experiment with the car battery there was a suggestion that if the pendulum did not begin to move within a few

minutes that the dowser may want to cause it to move.

This

jump start will help the beginner get the first reaction. one knows better than I know how our society wants "instant

to be patient,

But most people will need to practice,

to be persistent.

PPP The amount of practice time and the quality of the practice is in direct relationship to the amount of time to your successful

field location.

If you practice daily, you will

be in the field within a month. each week,

If you practice three times

you will be in the field within two months.

Often in the

seminars I suggest that the participants give me many mini

practice sessions rather than one marathon session even though the marathon session will have more total minutes in

it.

The frequency and quality of the dowsing practice helps

the dowser become successful than the number of total minutes

used for practice.

Another component of dowsing is that you should approach As you practice daily you must

Each person requires a certain amount of sensitivity before

he can become a successful dowser.

Page 49

This sensitivity may be

developed by practice.

This sensitivity may be developed

with a disciplined approach to dowsing.

As you develop your

dowsing sensitivity you will find that you will become more aware of the entire world around you.

Again, it is worth my time to remind you that you should

approach each search with a fresh and open mind.

Have no

preconceived ideas about what you want the results to be or

where the location will be found.

Let the instrument work

for you, remembering that the instrument cannot work without

you.

The Operator For your best results approach your practice sessions and

These two You may choose to

be enthusiastic and optimistic or you may choose to be

lethargic and melancholic.

I have found that you are more

productive if you are enthusiastic and optimistic than if you

are not.

Your mental attitude is very important when you are

dowsing.

Therefore, if you approach your mission with the "I

can do,” attitude you will find that you will.

To help you get the best possible reactions with dowsing, think of your body as a sensitive receiving apparatus.

In

fact, you have noticed with the "rabbit ears" on some

televisions or with inexpensive portable radios you can touch

the rabbit ears or the radio and the reception improves. Hopefully these two examples will help you understand that

Page 51

your body is a sensitive receiving apparatus.

This ability

to receive radio waves and television waves is close to that

reception for dowsing.

There are a few conditions that I want to establish now when you practice.

You will be able to determine clearly the

directions and distances you must move to make successful

In the beginning,

for sure, stay out of crowded

places and unfamiliar locations.

Page 53

A few other distractions that may cause some people, both beginners and those who have been dowsing for sometime but

have not made the location that they want to make, are

smoking, chewing gum, putting hands in pockets, and similar unconscious behaviors.

Each of these activities can take

some of our focus away from the task of dowsing.

It is best

to avoid smoking, gum chewing, and other unconscious distractions while you are dowsing.

You will have more

successful results if all of your energies are clearly

focused on one task - successful dowsing - defined as making

If we get a cold snap and the daytime high

is in the 30°’s and the nighttime temperature is in the

’’teens,” I may not be as successful if I had a field trip

planned at this time since I am not used to the temperatures I am experiencing.

This continues the theme that you should

be comfortable and familiar with the area of search when you dowse.

That little "trick” will increase your success rate.

Page 55

In contrast, if someone from a northern state came to visit

me in Wilmington, North Carolina, during the winter and

experienced our typical comfortably warm temperatures, he

would feel better since his normal situation is more stressful.

humidity, and there may be other variables that may cause a problem.

If you are in an area where you experience a lot of foreign activities, temperatures, foods, you may find that you should

take a few days to get yourself accustomed to the area to enhance your success opportunities.

The more familiar you

are with your instrument and your surroundings the more you

have going for you.

In summary, if you are sick, if your are under any influence of alcohol

You may find that there

are too many stresses and distractions to enable you to have

If there is a thunder storm

coming or if you are wearing uncomfortable shoes, you may be influenced by those concerns.

Page 56

Sensitivity Checks The following exercises will help you determine how much work

you will have to do to ensure that you will make a successful field location when you are ready.

The variable here is the

amount of time and dedication you are willing to devote to

accelerate your field work.

There are two ways to reduce the

time it will take you to go from this manual to the field: 1.

Increase your practice time and 2.

Improve your equipment.

One method to determine if today is a good day to dowse is to

suspend a pendulum above your hand.

Suspend it above your

right hand is you are right handed.

You should hold the

pendulum about 8 inches (21 cm) above your right hand with the chain pinched between the fingers of your left hand.

Of

course, if you are left handed, then pinch the chain of the pendulum between the fingers of your right hand and suspend

the pendulum about 8" (21 cm) above your left hand. moment or two the pendulum will begin to move.

In a

The movements

will be circles, either clockwise or counterclockwise, or swings.

There is no significance to the pendulum's movement

at this time.

All we want to determine if there is movement.

Now, you will practice.

Your task is to determine the

relationship between the pendulum's movement and the

reactions that you get during your practice session.

This

same relationship can be extended to the field when you are

Page 57

Page 58

ready to do field work.

Clearly stated, if you find your

pendulum reacts in a firm decisive manner and you get strong

positive reactions with your dowsing rod during your practice session then the extension is that if you get firm forceful

reactions from your pendulum then when you get into the field your dowsing rod will provide strong positive reactions,

thereby, enabling you to make the field locations you desire.

In the above paragraph there is a discussion on the

"strength" of the pendulum's movement.

An alternate method

is to determine the time of the movement.

Try to determine

if there are more circles or less circles and the relationship to your practice session.

You can make a

similar analogy as above with respect to your field work.

Experiment 13 Equipment needed:

your hand holding the pendulum begin the pendulum circling counterclockwise.

You may need to do this

’’jump start” several times in succession.

While I will not specifically outline still another option at

this time,

another variation of this is to have the person

touching your shoulder be your brother or sister or other

relative and compare the results with a person who is not a blood relative.

The important aspect here is that you are

using the pendulum.

The more you use it the more comfortable

you will become with it.

Polarity The understanding of polarity is not critical to successful dowsing.

Polarity is an interesting aspect of dowsing that

some will find useful as they increase their skill level. First, there are basic guidelines but NO hard and fast rules

Page 62

set in concrete.

As a rule most men will have a positive

polarity in their right hand and a negative polarity in their

left hand.

In contrast, the general situation is the

opposite for women.

Here is a fairly quick and easy

experiment that will do demonstrate what effect polarity has on a sheet of cigarette roll paper.

You may substitute

tissue paper if you would like to do so.

Experiment #5 Equipment needed: Procedure:

Cork, needle, cigarette paper

Insert the needle into the cork as illustrated. Balance the cigarette paper on the needle’s end.

Do not crease the paper. Task 1:

Place your right hand over the paper suspended by the needle’s end.

Slowly lower your hand, without

causing any air currents, to near the paper.

Results:

Do the ends of the paper appear to move upward,

this may be a fractional part of an inch, or mm? do the ends of the paper appear to move downward,

away from your right hand?

You may need to lower

your hand slowly several times before you can

determine if the ends of the paper are moving at

all. Task 2:

Place your left hand over the paper suspended by needle’s end.

Slower lower your hand, without

causing any air currents, to near the paper.

Results:

Do the ends of the paper appear to move upward,

Page 63

0R

this may be a fractional part of an inch, or mm?

OR

do the ends of the paper appear to move downward,

away from your left hand?

You may need to lower

your hand slowly several times before you can determine if the ends of the paper are moving at all.

The reaction should be the opposite of your

right hand.

Again, your ability to dowse successfully, make field locations, is not dependent on your right hand being positive and your left hand being negative if you are a man or the other way around if you are a woman.

Your ability is more a

function of your willing to put the dowsing instrument to work in practice sessions and in field sessions.

There are

three ”P” words that every successful person learns:

Page 64

practice, patience, and persistence.

Since we are discussing polarity, I have found that some

people have an advantage if they do not let others use their dowsing instrument.

Every time you use your dowsing unit you

are putting your energy into the handles and the unit.

If

you permit many different people to use your dowsing instrument then many different energies are put into the dowsing unit.

I think that I can make this point very clear when I mention a car that is driven by many different people versus one that

is a ’’one owner” car.

The original driver will understand

his car better than anyone else.

Further, recall how you

drove that car when you first left the showroom and now how

you are driving that same car a few years later.

In a

similar manner, you will find that you will be apprehensive

when you are first out in the field dowsing but as you get more comfortable in the field, you will begin to make the

Page 65

Dowsing Considerations If you want the very best possible chance at success with a Y-rod

instrument, you will put a drop of finger nail paint on one of the

fibre handles to identify the fibre

handle that you will place into your right hand every time you use that instrument.

You can now understand

how having the fibre with the finger nail drop placed into the same hand each time that instrument is used

will permit the same polarity to be placed into that handle and thereby

reduce the time required for the instrument to be ready to make a

location.

There are at least three

considerations that you should have

mark, ha nd Ie

a clear idea of when you dowse. 1.

Your physical condition

2.

Your dowsing instrument

3.

Your sample

If any one of the above

considerations is not in harmony

Page 66

with the others then the dowser has two of three strikes against success.

The first consideration, your physical condition, can be

further subdivided into three sub-parts.

1.

Your mental state

2.

Your emotional state

3.

Your physical state

The mental state includes your attitude and your information

base.

Your mental state means, are you ready for success?

Your mental state includes the amount of accurate and wrong information you have in your mind.

Much of this information

has been learned from reading and from talking with others.

The emotional state includes the stability you have in

dealing with stressful situations.

It also includes the

dowsers ability to divorce himself from the death of a loved

one, the financial reality of mortgage payments , and the argument just concluded with a friend.

These are examples of

events that may interfere with the dowser as he goes into the field and wants to have this day be his day of success.

Your physical state is how your feeling that particular day. Are you catching a cold, the flu, or something else?

Are you

really tired because you had to work late the day before and

Page 67

you did not get your usual amount of rest.

Have you had

something to drink that will later your natural state, such

as a beer?

These are a few examples of things that may alter

your physical state.

One other consideration that must be discussed is that of

where in the field are good and poor locations for you to stand.

pendulum.

When you are using an ore sample for a bait, make sure that

it is similar to the item that you are looking for at the time.

There is a concern, if your ore sample is from the

local area you may find that your attraction location is to the same spot as the sample originally came from rather than

the location of the item of intended search. reason for this happening.

There is a

First, the dowsing instrument

does not know what you are looking for at the time you are doing a search.

The frequencies that it reacts to are those

that are in the bait chamber.

Therefore, if you have a

frequency that is stronger to the original location than the intended search item it is the former spot that the dowsing instrument will attract.

Next, please ensure that you are very specific on your

thoughts with respect to the search items.

That is, if your

research has determined that "Old John Smith's" lost cache

contains gold coins than that is your thought focal point. However, if your research has determined that "Old John

This helps in

the process of everything working together to ensure success in making

the field location that you desire.

The example above pertains to gold. Let us now consider several other

Silver and

oil are the next two examples

discussed.

It is best if you have a

sample of silver when you are

searching for silver.

The closer

that the silver sample is to the

silver of search the better and thereby the greater your chances of success.

If you have a silver dime,

the real silver dime, those before

1964, it has 90% silver in it.

In

contrast, you can get a one ounce

Page 71

silver bar that is 99.9% silver.

Of course the silver bar will not fit into the bait chambers

of most instruments.

Therefore, it will have to be "shaved"

and the shavings can be placed into a plastic vial and then

that vial is placed in the bait chamber.

You do not want to

loose any of the shavings since that is silver and it is

valuable.

All of these concerns are nonexistent when you use

the dime that is 90% coin silver.

Your decision, are you

willing to take a chance on loosing a few of the silver shavings for the "pure" sample or will you choose the convenience of the 90% silver dime?

This is the first of

many decisions you will make as you work toward that field recovery.

That ultimate success.

Now what about oil?

In a similar manner it is best if you

use a sample that is as close as possible to the oil you want to find.

must use crude oil and not 10W-30 from an oil can.

In the above

The use of a

plastic vial when using a fluid sample, such as oil, is vital.

Do not permit any fluids to come into direct contact

with the bait chamber of the dowsing instrument.

Any residue

that is left in the chamber can cause interferences with future searches.

The use of the plastic vial eliminates any

of those concerns (You may purchase plastic vials from

Even that plastic vial used for the

silver shavings, do not use it again for any sample other

than the silver shavings sample residing in it.

Another specific that needs discussing now is that of the dowser’s energy.

Dowsing is an energy consuming activity.

As you use dowsing you will find that you may get tired.

It

is best if you just relax and do something different for a while. mental.

Dowsing uses two types of energy:

physical and

Most people can determine fairly well when they are

physically tired.

The mental fatigue is not as obvious.

However, from a dowsing perspective the mental fatigue is as important as the physical fatigue.

Be fresh and relaxed with

a clear mind to ensure the highest success rates.

When we use our energy for dowsing, we must take care that we are of stout heart.

That is, we must be sure that we are

prepared to use it for a need.

If your plan is to beat a fellow man out of his ’’fair due,”

than dowsing will be less than successful for you.

Make no

mistake about it, dowsing is just now beginning to emerge from the superstitions that have kept it in the background in the past.

Today’s dowser is a non-superstitious, scientific-

minded person.

He is ready to go to work in order to make

dowsing work for him.

He does not care if it works for the

man down the street or if it does not work for the man across the street.

What is important to today’s dowser is, does it

work for me to make the locations I want to make.

"If it

works for me, then I will use it," is the attitude of the

modern dowser.

This manual will now continue to develop

procedures for your successes.

Specifically, your successes

in the field.

Clothing Wear clothing that is comfortable for you.

If you wear

clothing that is restrictive then you are restricting your

chances of success.

If you wear clothing that is causing you

embarrassment since it looks like you have just stepped off the cover of a fashion magazine then this is an interference and it could cause you to have a reduced chance of success.

A good rule of thumb is to wear "earth tones."

Stay away

from the bright reds, yellows, and oranges that a deer hunter may wear.

Page 74

What about your shoes? comfort of the shoe.

Again the important factor is the Some have found that crepe, rubber, or

man made materials for soles for pendulum dowsing may not be as good as leather soles.

So, as repeatedly stated, if you

want the best chance for success, use leather soled shoes for

pendulum dowsing.

However, there is no reason to believe

that if you use one of the manufactured dowsing instruments,

such as those manufactured by Simmons Scientific Products, that you need to attend to the leather concern for an L-rod

or Y-rod.

In fact, you will find that those instruments will

lead to recoveries.

And

And locations are what

about.

Page 75

Research It is important to have as much information as possible about each search location.

The critical factor is that this

information must be accurate.

Each piece of data needs to be

checked for authenticity before it is used in the search.

Failure to do so may cause the dowser to err.

Remember, "a

chain is no stronger than its weakest link."

The more accurate information that you bring into a search

the greater your chances of success. "accurate."

This is critical.

Notice the word

If the information is

accurate it will help you in the search to make a successful

location.

Accurate information usually does not come from

sharing tales over a beer at a local bar.

Accurate information comes from the library, historical societies, and similar sources.

If there is one member who likes to do

the research and one who likes to do the field work then you

have a successful match. other.

In this case, each will benefit the

Since there is little competition from the other for

the areas discussed there is reduced fear that one may go

into the field in the "dark of the night" to make a recovery

without the other one knowing anything about it.

Page 76

Dowsing Steps Personally, these are the five steps that I go through for each field problem:

1.

Gather as much information as

possible about the search location.

This is true for both

treasure and prospecting.

2.

Map dowse the suspected area.

3.

Field dowse the suspected area.

4.

Verify by digging at the ’’hot spot.”

5.

Resecure the area.

This may

mean moving the item or it may

mean leaving everything as it

was found.

Atmospheric Conditions There are many atmospheric conditions that the dowser needs

to be aware of as he uses his dowsing instrument.

All of the

dowsing signals must travel through the atmosphere to go from

the location site to the dowsing instrument.

If there are

interferences in that atmosphere several things may happen. The dowser may not realize his proximity to the treasure site

Page 77

or prospecting site.

The dowser may not realize that the

instrument is not reacting as expected due to the atmospheric

situation rather than assuming that he is not close to the recovery site.

As a rule, a good time to use the dowsing instrument is right after a good heavy dew or a good ’’crop growing” rain.

There

is some support that the moisture in the air and in the ground enables the dowsing instrument to work well.

A good inexpensive method of determining if the atmospheric conditions are good for dowsing is via the CB radio.

If the

CB's signals are strong and clear then the dowsing signals

will be strong and clear since they are traveling through the

same atmosphere.

In a similar manner, if the CB's signals

are weak then the signals the dowsing rod will react to will be weak, again, since the signals travel through the same

atmosphere.

Sweeping Since the mid-70’s I have

taught people how to dowse

successfully.

The sweep is

used with a L-rod.

If there is

one aspect of dowsing that has

permitted more people to

Page 78

increase their recovery rate

than any other aspect it is that of the sweep.

Many people

do not realize that they must put themselves into the dowsing

search.

The rod will do nothing without a person using it.

With the introduction of a person there is the introduction

of vital energy, intelligence, and the ability to

discriminate.

It is these very factors that make the task of

learning to sweep, coupled with information from research, that will separate the ’’men from the boys.”

Most successful dowsers use their writing hand to hold the dowsing instrument. are right handed. left.

Keeping both feet flat on

the ground but by turning your ankles and hips you can turn

your torso as much as 60° to 90°.

This turning of the torso

with the dowsing rod in your writing hand is what is called a

sweep.

If you will turn your torso a minimum of three or four times

in each direction, without rolling your feet (they remain Page 80

flat with about the same amount of weight on each foot) permits each 60° to 90° sector to have the dowsing rod cover

it six to eight times (two times for each complete 60° to 90°

turn.

For a left handed person the procedure is exactly the same adjusting for that writing hand.

I must hasten to add that

the sweep is done is a ’’slow and deliberate” manner.

That is

the rod’s movement at the end of the tip at the end of the

fully extended antenna would be similar to the speed of a turtle walking.

Page 81

With the sweeping method of dowsing you will find that every

dowser will cover more area more reliably than any other method.

Now, from one spot,

just by turning the dowser's

torso an area from 60° to 90° can be checked.

If it is made of ivory or some

manufactured material then you may be able to dowse successfully with it.

If it is not one of these, either ebony or some other wood will work.

Finally, the best policy is

to have a pendulum that is manufactured and is made

Page 97

of a material that is different than that found in

the area of search.

3.

Is it light weight?

If it is an ounce (28.3 g) or

more, it is not considered light.

Generally, a

beginner will want to begin to start with a one-half ounce (14.1 g) pendulum.

As your sensitivity

increases, you may want to move to a heavier pendulum.

Here is a small sampling of various pendulums on today's

market.

Page 98

If you are tired or sick,

I recommend that you do not use the

pendulum until you are fresh and well.

The pendulum, as with

many other activities, requires a lot of attention to your

task.

If you let your mind drift from your mission you will

find that your results will vary.

I urge you to practice with your pendulum often.

Practice on

the types of items that you will want to locate in the field. The more you work on those items the greater your chances for successes.

There are many different types of pendulums on the market.

I

recommend that you have a torpedo shaped pendulum, such as the Titan II pendulum.

If you do not have the torpedo shaped

pendulum then you may want to get a tear drop shaped pendulum.

Those two shapes permit better "pinpointing" since

they have a "pointed" end.

The pendulums that are in the

shape of a ball do not permit you to easily determined the

pinpoint spot.

This becomes critical when you map dowse

since a pencil point may be 40 or 50 feet (13 to 17 meters).

Another aspect that you should attend to when buying your pendulums is what is used to suspend it.

chain.

I recommend a

A chain does not permit a vertical axis for the

pendulum to rotate while you are using it.

Titan II is a good example.

The chain, on the

However, the Universal Antenna

Rods, Precision Master Rods, PMR II, and PMR III, manufactured by Simmons Scientific Products use a spring

handle rather than a chain.

This spring permits an

additional method of determining a location.

While the

spring does not permit a vertical axis it does permit the

Universal Antenna Rod, the Precision Master Rod, the PMR II and the PMR III to ’’bounce” directly over your successful

1ocation.

You may find some pendulums with a thread as the suspension medium.

I do not recommend the thread as a suitable

suspension for the pendulum since it often permits the

pendulum to rotate on a vertical axis.

One additional aspect of the chain is that it should be about 10 inches (25 cm) long.

If it is longer that is good.

Chains that are shorter may not permit enough flexibility for

you to determine your best chain length.

Different shaped

pendulums and different weight pendulums may require different length chain to be successful for different people.

Page 100

The length of chain leads us into the next area of discussion on the pendulum.

How you hold it.

Many people believe since

there is an "end" to the chain that is the place to hold the pendulum.

I recommend that you hold the pendulum in your

writing hand, for no reason other than as a rule your writing

hand is more stable since it usually is your dominate hand. I recommend that you hold the pendulum’s chain between your thumb and index finger.

Do you

If you do then adjust it again.

What

you are doing is determining your best chain length for that

page 101

item with that pendulum.

This will be different for every

pendulum of different weight and shape.

In theory, you will

need to determine the proper chain length for every pendulum that you own for each item that you want to search for with

that pendulum.

Again, you must determine which length is best for you with that weight pendulum and that shaped pendulum.

You must

I suggest that after you

determine your best length you use some fingernail polish and

place a drop where you want your finger and thumb to be for

gold and silver.

I am only discussing those two materials.

Page 104

You do not want to have so many different markings on the chain that you will not know which marking is for which item.

As you work with your pendulum you may stand or you may sit.

The important factor is that you are in a comfortable

position.

If you are standing, then do not have the surface

you are working on so low that you have to be in a bent

position to use your pendulum.

Raise the surface or sit

down.

If you are sitting while using your pendulum, I urge you not to have both hands on the pendulum's chain.

You may use

either hand, I have already suggested that you use your writing hand, to suspend the chain.

If you are sitting on a chair while dowsing have your body in a reasonably good posture position.

You do not have to be in

a military sitting position but neither should you be in a slouched position.

Keep your feet flat on the floor with

your body relaxed and comfortable.

If you elect to stand for

a particular task then stand with both feet flat on the ground and your body in an erect position.

This does not

mean "at attention” but certainly not leaning on a doorway as

you are dowsing.

you can walk with your pendulum while making a successful location in the field.

If you want to try walking with your

pendulum, you may want to think about walking on eggs as you

Now the thought energy you are exerting

into walking correctly so that your pendulum is not making random motions is detracting from the thought you are able to put into the dowsing task.

mind.

In some parts of our county the weather may affect the

As stated earlier in this section, the Simmons Scientific

Products dowsing instruments have an added advantage of having a spring handle for the pendulum.

This spring handle

Permits the instrument, when being used as a pendulum, to

have all the traditional movements of the pendulum plus the ’’bounce” over the top of the location. Page 110

This ability greatly

enhances the success rate of the Simmons Scientific Products

dowsing units.

The spring handle permits some extra motion in the hands of the inexperienced dowser.

Therefore, before using this unit

Aura The energy field that envelops everything has a unique name when it relates to the human being.

The human energy field

is called the aura.

There are many different ways to measure the human energy

field, the aura.

One method is to attend a training session

on how to see the aura of the human through various methods,

including through a mirror.

The study of auras is usually

reserved for a few experts.

In dowsing we can use a small

light weight pendulum to demonstrate the aura of a person.

Experiment f17 Hold a pendulum with a chain about 15 to 18 inches (38.1 to 45.7 cm) above the open palm of your non-dowsing hand.

Now

slowly lower that light weight pendulum toward your open palm.

At some point, perhaps an inch or two (2.5 to 3.3 cm)

above the hand the pendulum will begin circling.

If you

repeat this experiment often enough and record your results you will find that you can determine the differences in your

Page 117

day to day aura.

You will find that your aura will be weaker

when you are sick or recovering from an illness.

You can use

this information to assist you in understanding the energy fields of other items.

Slowly move the pendulum, on about a four inch (10.2 cm) length of chain, toward the middle finger of your non-writing hand.

At some point,

about one or two inches (2.5 or 5.0 cm), you will feel the resistance of the energy field being exerted on the pendulum.

The resistance is small and it seems like the pendulum wants to keep a distance from the end of

the finger.

You know that you can force it

L-ROD

L-Rod The L-rod is becoming the most popular of the dowsing instruments.

The reason for its popularity is the ease of

use and the capacity of the L-rod to search large areas quickly.

The L-rod permits many people to move up the ladder

of success faster than either the pendulum, the Y-rod,

wand.

or the

(An example of the wand is the Universal Depth Rod.)

As you expect, success is the ultimate test.

The L-rod is able to do everything the Y-rod, the pendulum, and the wand can do, but in so many cases it can do it faster

or easier than those other instruments mentioned.

For

example, the Y-rod can determine the direction of the flow of a underground stream with some skill.

With the L-rod the

direction of the flow is easily determined in a few moments.

This specific aspect of L-rod dowsing will be discussed in detail

later in this chapter.

There are several important aspects of an L-rod that you will

want to know before you go much further.

One, the body of

the L-rod may be chrome, black, or another neutral color.

We

urge you to determine the optimum ratio of the L-rod’s length

to its width.

That is, as a general rule the ratio of the

short part of the L-rod to the long part of the L-rod is two to five.

That is, if the handle part is six inches (15.2 cm)

then the long part of the L-rod is 15 inches (38.1 cm).

Having the tip of the antenna dropped a little reduces the

random motion that some people have stated they experience. Also, with the tip just off level the dowser will focus his

inexperienced dowser may correct the movement and miss the location that he had been working on for some time.

I must

add a word of caution, do not let the tip get too low or the

effect of gravity will not permit the L-rod to work as it should.

Page 124

Another advantage of lowering the tip of the L-rod is that

the dowser will be able to walk with the unit.

The L-rod is

easier to walk with than with the pendulum since it does not

have all the free motions of the pendulum hanging from the chain.

An additional advantage of walking with the L-rod is

that the dowser can cover an area and make a location other than via triangulation (discussed later in the manual).

Also, the walking movement will help locate underground veins of water, underground pipes, underground cables, or other

linear underground items.

Earlier, I stated that I would explain how to use the L-rod

to determine the direction of flow of an underground stream. Now is a good time to have that discussion.

Stretch out a

garden hose and have a small amount of water flowing through

it.

Have your L-rod baited with a small vial of water.

Approach the garden hose from right angles to it and begin

your walking toward it from about 10 feet (3m) away.

As you

get within a foot (0.3 m) of the hose the L-rod’s tip will begin to turn. garden hose.

It may turn right or left, parallel to the The direction of the turn is the direction of

the flow or the direction of the source.

In either way, you

now know the direction of the flow of the water through the underground stream.

You may have to do this experiment

several times before your results are reliable.

For some the

practice of walking and of waiting for the L-rod to turn may take some patience.

But, as stated many times in this manual

Page 125

Practice, Patience, and Persistence are what permits you to

be successful.

ppp Oh yes, some dowsers may have the L-rod turn when they cross the stream exactly.

In fact, a few may have the L-rod turn

suggest that you repeat the exercise several times to ensure that you know that you

Now, let us discuss the biggest advantage of the L-rod. is its ability to sweep a large area quickly. difficult to do via the printed word.

This is

It is easy to do in

the two day seminars since the participants can see what is expected of them.

The use of sight is wonderful when it

comes to a person learning a specific task.

Some of you have used an inexpensive transistor radio out of doors.

You have found that if you turn the radio a little

bit in one direction or another the signal is clearer. that is what we will do with the L-rod.

Well,

If you will stand

with the L-rod at your side ready to work then slowly turn your ankles and hips to the right with your L-rod at the normal search position you are doing the same as the camper

did with the transitory radio.

Notice I said, turn your

ground.

Page 128

But rotating that little bit I discussed above you are

searching the area "in front" of the dowser covered by the Lrod.

I suggest that you turn to your right only until you

come to your natural stopping point.

That point is the point

just before your feet begin to roll.

At that point, you can

turn to the left until the same natural ending point.

some people this angle of sweep may be as much as 90 degrees.

For other people it will be less.

The differences are not

The important aspect of the sweep is that you not

turn too fast and that your arms, chest, and L-rod are all

turning at the same rate. not turn too fast.

That they are a unit.

Finally, do

As a rule the slower the better.

The concept here is the same as with the transistor radio. We are trying to line up the signal of the item that you have

in your bait chamber with the signal of the same material

that you are searching for in the field.

At the line-up

point the L-rod will point the direction.

This is one of the

first aspects of triangulation.

Each sector should have the tip of the L-rod cover it at least six times.

area you can tell what you must do next.

discussed earlier.

Reposition your feet as

Remember to "overlap" some again.

You

will need to reposition your feet four, five, or six times depending on the size of the sector you can sweep

successfully.

Your task in the field will be to use this

process to cover hundreds of feet directly in front of the antenna.

Since so much distance is being covered quickly

with the antenna’s tip, you now understand why you will turn slowly and how this process will reduce the amount of time

you will need to remain in the field searching rather than

making the recoveries.

The next obvious question is how can you tell if your L-rod is pointing out an attraction.

Well, the tip of the antenna

will provide the dowser with a sense of resistance. Page 130

For some

that sense of resistance will be very strong,

position of how to hold the L-rod. straight line.

Your arm and rod form a

The L-rod is in the same plane as your arm.

Both the vertical plane and the horizontal plane.

The

movement of the L-rod’s antenna is the same as your arm as you make your sweep.

The only time your antenna changes its

movement from that of your arm and rod is when it is

identifying a location.

At that time its movement will be

along the horizontal plane.

The arm and the rod should be pointing in the same direction to ensure that the location you have determined is a good

Page 131

one.

If you find that your arm and your L-rod are pointing

in different directions you will have a dowsing error by the amount of that difference.

This error angle is usually

greater for the beginner than for the experienced dowser.

One method to reduce the angle of error is to keep your elbow

as close to your side as you can while remaining comfortable. Since the swivel handle of the L-rod is as free moving as it is there is no restriction of the movement of the L-rod.

By

the way, when holding the L-rod in your hand you should have a firm grip on the handle.

You should refrain from having a

tight grip or a very loose grip on the L-rod.

You may want to practice in front of a mirror to ensure that you are holding the L-rod in the manner described above.

You

should be able to determine your position from the front and

side very quickly by observing your position from the mirror.

Experiment 119 A good practice procedure for the beginner is to take three

cups that you cannot see through. items in those cups.

Place three different

For example, in one cup place silver

coins, in the second cup place pennies, and place sand into the third cup.

Have the weight of each cup as close as you

can to being the same.

Page 132

Place the three cups on a table and bait the dowsing instrument with either silver or a penny.

Now practice

dowsing for the cup that has the same material in it as you

have in your L-rod.

Use your sweep to cover the sector of

the three cups on the table.

Quickly your L-rod will begin

to point at one of the three cups on the table.

In fact, this

/

One of the greatest hazards that many beginning dowsers yield to is that of rushing.

big of a hurry.

Take your time.

Do not get in too

There will be times when the dowser will

expect the rod to go to the hot spot so fast that the

expectation will not permit the dowser to meet with success.

One factor that should be mentioned here is that it will take the dowsing rod a few minutes to ’’warm-up. ”

As a rule this

is of no concern since you will hold the rod in your hand a

moment or two before you expect the rod to determine a location.

The only time there is a concern with having the

dowsing L-rod warmed up is when you are in a hurry and do not

take your time with your task.

If you are tired then your warm-up time may be longer than

normal.

If you are a ’’morning person” your afternoon warm-up

time may take longer.

’’night person

In a similar manner, if you are a

you may find that your morning warm-up time Page 134

may take longer.

One of the best pieces of advice is that

you should ’’play to your strength.”

Clearly stated, if you

want successes as fast as possible you may want to dowse when

you feel that you do your best work.

Now, I want you to go to the garden hose experiment again. a.

This time I want you to move over it slowly.

Note how

many times you cross the garden hose before the L-rod turns.

b.

Now record the time.

Note how far from the hose your feet are when the L-rod

begins to turn.

I want you to record the first indicator

of the turn.

c.

Note how many times you had to walk across the garden hose before you got a reaction each and every time you

crossed the garden hose.

d.

Did you get your first responses directly under your

feet?

Did you get your first responses when the garden

hose was under the L-rod?

Did you get your first

response when the L-rod was before crossing the garden hose?

There is a logical reason that I want you to do the garden hose experiment again at this time.

This experiment provides

some time for the unit to warm-up before it is expected to

Page 135

provide a reaction to an attraction.

Also, it gets you out

of the chair and the L-rod back into your hand again.

After

all, that is where you must be if you are going to make a

successful recovery.

Depth There are many different ways to establish depths.

One of

the most reliable method is using the ’’Folding Rule” method.

In your mind picture a six foot folding rule.

One of the

sections will measure from 0 to 6 inches (0 to 15.24 cm), the

next section will measure from 6 to 12 inches (15.24 to 30.48 cm), the next section will measure from 12 to 18 inches

(30.48 to 45.72 cm), and this pattern continues through the

entire length of six feet (182.88 cm).

Now that you have a clear image of the folded rule in your mind, let us transport that to a ten foot (3.05 m) copper

wire.

Take two tent stakes and drive them into the ground

with the ’’left one” at the zero point, the point where you will want do dig to make your recovery.

The second tent

stake is any convenient direction from the first tent stake.

The only condition is that it be ten feet (3.05 m) away from the first tent stake.

You should stand sufficiently far away from the copper wire

that you can sweep from one tent stake to the other

comfortably.

Specifically, sweep covering the two ends from

the end away from the hot spot toward the stake placed at the hot spot.

You may do this three or four or more times until

you feel a resistance point.

That resistance point is the

same distance from the hot spot stake as the recovery items

will be in the ground.

That is a direct measure method of

establishing depth.

What do you do if the depth is greater than the 10 feet (3.05

m) of the copper wire's length.

This is where the folder

rule concept discussed earlier comes into play.

Just as each

segment of the folder rule is about six inches (15.24 cm)

long the rule can measure six feet (2 .1 m).

The concept is

now to go to the second layer of the folded rule and the beginning tent stake (originally the stake at the hot spot)

now is the ten foot (3.5 m) depth and the second stake now

represents the depth of twenty feet (7 m).

Again stand back

and sweep covering the distance between the stakes and this time, let us say, the resistance is about half the distance between the two stakes.

You now know that the depth of the

item to be recovered is about 15 feet (5.25 m).

As you can quickly determine, this process of using the folded rule can be used for any depth of any item.

Page 137

In fact,

by using the concept of a scaled drawing, similar the that

contractors use to build a house, you may elect to have the ten foot (3.05 m) end to the stake become 100 feet (35 m). If you were to repeat the process described above and this

time the rod stopped about 2/3 of the distance from the hot

spot stake to the other stake you could expect to make your recovery at 67 feet (23.8 m).

At this point, you should be reminded that this is an

approximate method of establishing depth since you may think your rod is pointing one-half the distance between the two stakes and in fact it is several degrees off.

Depending on

your scale, if a one to one scale this may not amount to much distance.

However, if the scale is 100 to one then a few

degrees may be several feet.

Hence, if you determined that the depth of an item was 250

feet (76.2 m) but upon drilling the location you found

success at 245 feet (74.68 m) you would still call this a successful estimation of depth.

What some dowsers have done

to help them in their estimates is to place a dab of paint at

the 2.5 foot (0.76 m), 5 foot (1.52 m), and 7.5 foot (2.28 m) mark on the copper wire.

In this manner it helps them

estimate their depths more accurately.

I should tell you that if you are interested in searching for

oil your folded rule concept would shift to a one to 1000

Page 138

scale.

That is the hot spot stake still represents zero feet

and the stake that is ten feet (3.05 m) away represent 1000 feet (305 m).

Now the process is repeated as you unfold the

concept of the folded rule.

An alternate method to using the copper wire is to have eleven 3X5 cards.

Number each card with a bold

magic marker number from 0 through 10.

Place each card at the foot

mark distance from the hot spot.

That is, the ”0” card would be at the hot spot, the ”1” card would be

at the one foot mark, the ”2” card would be at the two foot mark and

continue until the ”10° card is at the ten foot mark.

After this then

the above process of covering the

entire section with your dowsing

sweep will provide the approximate depth of the item under the ”0”

card.

To provide some practice on the

concept of using index cards as an

aid in gathering information let us do this experiment.

Have three

females and three males write their

Page 139

names on a o

card.

names "J.

jOnek unes," „M

Have each of the people write their Welsh,” and ”R. Avery."

The reason for

the first nam» v e having only an initial is that some first names provide < information as to the sex of the individual.

ow you can use these cards in sets of three, one female and

two ma es, and dowse the cards for the card of the female. Place t e cards on a table top and have your sweep covering the arc that the three cards make.

Now sweep until the

dowsing L-rod points out the card of the female.

Of course

you can repeat this exercise frequently as you practice.

If

you want you can rearrange the cards in many different manners by using the combinations of the three female and three male cards.

This experiment is best done with the

cards resting at different spots on the table for each exercise.

Y-Rod The Y-rod is a very old dowsing instrument.

In its early

form it was usually made of wood from the crouch of a tree. At times the wood was peach or some other fruit wood that

provides some flexibility.

It was seldom dry.

Y-rod was 15 to 20 inches (38 to 51 cm) long.

Usually the

At times some

dowsers, water witches, would use a Y-rod shorter then the

one mentioned.

Following our general rule, if it works use

it.

The Y-rod,

just as discussed with other dowsing instruments,

should be neutral in color, this means that it would be preferred for the Y-rod to be black, chrome, or clear.

The

original wooden Y-rod had the advantage of permitting the same side of the Y-rod to be in the same hand of the dowser each time it was used.

That ability is more difficult with

today's manufactured Y-rods.

Many people mark the handle of

the Y-rod that will always go into their right hand.

In this

manner you will have the same energy going into the same handle and over time this may increase your sensitivity, which may increase your recovery rates.

As illustrated, hold the Y-rod in up-turned hands.

Y-rod at an angle of about 75 degrees from level.

Have the In this

manner you will find that there is a balance point where the Y-rod feels as if it is balanced there.

Page 144

This balance point

will permit the Y-rod to pull upward or downward and there is enough distance of movement that you will be able to determine that the Y-rod has moved.

Three is no preference of movement, up or down.

Many people

believe that the downward movement is all that can happen since so many more pictures have circulated showing downward

pulls.

But, all we are looking for is the indication from

the Y-rod.

A baseball player will make a lot of money if he can hit

better than .310.

This means that he gets a hit thirty-one

times out of one hundred times at bat.

Or stated another

way, he does not get a hit sixty-nine times out of a hundred.

Many people who dowse want their success ration to be so much higher than that of a baseball player.

Throughout this

manual it has been suggested that a success rate of 70 to 80 percent should be achieved before going on to the next

experiment.

You may set what ever rate of success you

determine you need for your own task.

That rate may be too

high for you or too low for you.

One advantage of the Y-rod is that it searches only the

direction you are facing for only the item you have it baited with at the time.

If you are facing the southwest and have

it baited with gold then you will only search the southwest for gold.

Page 145

The Y-rod is really good for searching for water.

More

locations for wells have probably been made with the Y-rod than with any other dowsing instrument.

When a person walks

over an underground stream the Y-rod will indicate water by pulling down or for some people, pulling in an upward

direction.

The L-rod has the ability to sweep large areas quickly.

Y-rod has the ability to indicate specific spots.

The

The

pendulum has the ability to identify related minerals in a particular area.

Thus one can see very quickly how the three

units working together can increase the recovery rate of many people.

Let us discuss the ability of the Y-rod to indicate a

particular spot.

Let us say that you have reason to believe

that a particular item is directly in front of you.

The Y-

rod will pull down or up as you walk over the spot.

Recall,

you were asked to walk across the garden hose when using the L-rod, you were asked if the L-rod turned right before you

got to the garden hose or if it turned as you walked over the

garden hose or if it turned right after you crossed the garden hose.

the Y-rod.

This information is useful now as you work with

If you found that the L-rod crossed as you walked

over the garden hose, you will probably find that the Y-rod will pull down or up at the dig spot or drill spot, for your

Page 146

search item.

As stated above, the L-rod permits the dowser to search a

large area quickly.

The Y-rod permits the dowser to point

out a spot by walking over it and the Y-rod pointing down or up.

The pendulum can identify the spot of that actual

recovery in a reliable manner.

Thus, using these three types

of dowsing instruments will increase your recovery rate.

There is no way that anyone can guarantee a recovery every time you go into the field.

But, if you will practice the

procedures given here and search where there are items to be recovered your success will come.

A forte* of the Y-rod is its ability to indicate spot locations.

This makes the Y-rod very useful in locating

treasures, underground streams, underground pipes, and other

similar items.

Some of you have read about the Y-rod pulling so hard that the bark would be twisted off the twig or that blood would

come to the surface of your hands when the Y-rod twisted

indicating a location.

This may happen for a few people, but

the vast majority of us will feel the twist in our hands but with a very firm grip on the fibre handles or the wooden twig

we will be able to hold the Y-rod from its twist.

in the beginning stages look for the twist.

Therefore,

Then after you

begin to feel the Y-rod pulling, the additional practice will

Page 147

permit that attraction to become more pronounced.

A particularly good practice point for the Y-rod is the garden hose experiment mentioned earlier.

As you have the

garden hose spread out and some water running through it, try

to slowly walk toward the garden hose with the Y-rod at its

normal dowsing position.

You will find that within a short

distance of the garden hose the Y-rod will pull.

The pull

may be slight at the beginning but as you practice the pull

becomes stronger and stronger.

Before you leave this

exercise, determine if the strongest pull is directly under

your feet or just a little in front or behind the dowsing Yrod.

This garden hose exercise is typical of an underground stream

Page 148

and other underground veins.

If you are working in the field

you can repeat this walking across the vein from several

different points five to 10 feet (1.5 to 3.04 m) apart.

By

doing this several times you will determine the path of the

underground vein.

Page 149

FIELDWORK

Fieldwork A common result of some dowsers is that they will practice as

I have asked.

They will do some map work as I will discuss

later in the manual.

At some point they are satisfied that

they should go into the field and make the recovery.

One of

the locations that they may elect to search for may be some Chances are that they have never

distance from their home.

been here before or that if they have been to the site before

it has been so long ago that the area is no longer familiar

to them.

Soon after they return home I get a letter from

them, "Russ, what happened?

I practiced and practiced; then

I went into the field and got skunked."

The problem is an old one.

They were so keyed up on making

their location that they changed their entire make up.

They

were no longer that cool calm person practicing at home but now they were on a deadline to make the recover before they had to return to work.

They were in an unfamiliar

environment, and they changed their daily routine.

The best

method is to attempt your recoveries in areas that you are

familiar with as you begin your dowsing efforts.

After you

have had several trips into the field then you may elect to

visit an unfamiliar site to make your recovery.

I realize that it may take some time to become familiar with

a remote location before you venture into that area to make Page 151

your successful recovery, however, you must remember that for

many of us all we need is that one find. repeat that effort ever again.

We may not need to

So, it may be worth a little

extra effort today for the results of tomorrow. go into the field as often as you can.

Therefore,

On some sites you may

want to visit them five or six times before you bring out the shovel.

The more comfortable you are in walking through the

woods, across the fields, and jumping streams and ditches the

better your chances of making a successful recovery.

And, as

I recall, that is our objective, making that successful

recovery•

There is another reason that you may elect to follow the five or six trip suggestion, if you want a successful recovery rate greater than five percent you will want to ensure that

your "dig spot" has withstood the "test of time." This means

that your "hot spot" has been repeatable at different times

of the day and over a period of days.

Much of the above discussion has been for "hot spot" locations.

Some of the readers will using their dowsing

instrument to search for placer or for oil sands or other

items that may cover an area rather than just a "spot."

The

suggested method of "covering" the entire area of search for

something that is larger than a spot is to use an L-rod or pendulum and walk over the ground as illustrated.

In this

manner you can mark the locations where your L-rod turns or

Page 152

where your pendulum swings.

The "birds-eye view” of those

marks will provide the outline of the location.

Page 153

Realize too that you will not necessarily start on the outside of the area of search.

You may happen to begin on

the inside of the area of search. will be as you exit the field.

Then your reaction point

Of course you will not know

this is the exit point and you will continue walking a great

distance.

When you consider that the above may be the

situation, begin at the original starting point and go in the opposite direction.

Now, you will determine the other exit

point and then you can proceed as outlined in the above

comments and in the sketch.

Many people have developed kits for you to take to the field.

You know what you will need after you have made a few trips to your search site.

Let me suggest a few items that may

help you get started in developing a field kit.

then when we arrived we discovered that we forgot something

critical.

This meant that we nearly wasted our efforts.

The

above checklist, while not exhaustive, will get you on the right track.

By the way, the hardest thing will be taking a

few minutes to get it together the first time.

Then after

you have placed the items that can go into a shoulder bag it

is just a matter of picking up that prepared shoulder bag

each time you go into the field.

Establishing Depths There are many different methods for dowsers to successfully

establish depths.

One method has been discussed earlier, the

"folded rule method."

Another fairly common method of

establishing depths is by the "bobber method."

This is when

a person uses a wand, like the Universal Depth Rod, or you

may use the Universal Antenna Rod, the Precision Master Rod, or the PMR II.

Hold the Universal Antenna Rod, the Precision

Master Rod, or the PMR II as illustrated in the photograph.

Hold one end of the fiber handle as shown.

You should have

your feet on the spot where you want to establish the depth.

Ask how far below your feet (or the surface) the item of

search is located.

will bounce.

The end of the fully extended antenna

There may be a few short bounces before the

antenna tip develops a rhythmic bounce. that are rhythmic.

Count the bounces

Each bounce will establish one foot (30

cm) of depth.

If you are checking the depth for oil or some similar items that would require hours to count in one foot increments you may elect for each bounce to represent one thousand feet (330

m).

In this manner the depths can be estimated very rapidly

however, you may need to allow for a degree of inaccurately due to the large scale, 1000 feet (330 m).

For still other

items, water for example, you may elect to count the bounces in multiples of 100 feet (34 m).

Again your estimate will

not be as accurate as in one foot (30 cm) increments, but may

be accurate enough for estimation purposes.

Let us be very

specific now, if you are counting in one foot increments and

you find that your unit bounces four times but not five times, you now know that your treasure is between four and

five feet (122 and 153 cm) below the surface of the earth.

In contrast, if you have been searching for oil and used the bounce method to determine the depth of the oil sand and

found that the Universal Antenna Rod, the Precision Master

Rod, or the PMR II bounced 6 times but not 7 times would tell

you the depth to be between 6000 and 7000 feet (180 and 214 m).

Recall, you could establish the depth more accurately by

Page 159

using one bounce to represent 100 feet (30.5 m).

How can you narrow this distance down to a more accurate estimate?

There are several methods.

Recall, in the first

part of this section the statement "how far below your feet"

or "how far below the surface" was used to begin the depth

finding process.

To refine the depths we will mentally

relocate to the new depth.

You will mentally place yourself

at a depth of 500 feet (152.4 m)•

Now you will ask the

question "How far below my feet is the item?"

At this time

one bob will represent ten feet (3.1 m) and if there is six

bobs the depth of the item will be between 560 and 570 feet

(170.7 and 173.7 meters).

This process can be repeated as

often as necessary to achieve the desired accuracy of depths.

The exact depth can be determined as precisely as you desire. There are some limitations based upon the factors that have been discussed earlier, your accuracy level, your energy

level, your information level.

You have heard that your

decision can be no better than the accuracy of the

information provided to you to make your decision.

a computer saying, "Junk in - Junk out."

There is

In some ways this

aspect of dowsing may be similar to that of the computer. You are relocating yourself to a site that you have not

personally seen or can physically get to and then using your

skills to gather information.

That is similar to how some

people use computers.

Page 160

Some people will prefer to use L-rods to establish depths.

First, you have used your skills to determine the location of the dig spot.

The depth can be established in a manner similar to the folded rule concept discussed earlier.

spot as the ’’zero” point.

Use the tent stake at the dig

Then the other tent stake is the

starting point of the sweep.

Sweep toward the ’’zero” point.

At the point of resistance notice how far the tip of the Lrod is pointing from the ’’zero” point.

Page 161

If the distance is

seven feet (2.1 m) than that is how deep the item is in the ground.

Some of the people who use this method place a

string or a dab of paint on the copper wire at the five foot

(1.5 m) point to help establish depths more accurately.

Important Summary: If you find that there is no resistance point within the

first 10 feet then use the scaled drawing concept.

That is

make the tent stake that is not ’’zero” 100 feet (30.5 m) of

depth and repeat the process.

Recall, that in a scaled

drawing the person doing the drawing determines the scale. In a similar manner for oil you may make the tent stake that is not ’’zero” 1000 feet (304.8 m) or any other distance, for example 7000 feet (2133.6 m).

Then the half way point would

be half of that distance, if 1000 feet then:

500 feet (152.4

m) and the 3/4 point would be 3/4 of that distance 750 feet

(228.6 m).

Just as you relocated to a different depth when you counted

bobs earlier you can do that here too.

Specifically, you may

rename the "zero” stake as the stake at the 100 foot (30.5 m) point and then other stake at the 110 foot (33.5 m) mark and then the point of resistance for the L-rod will be between

100 feet and 110 feet (30.5 and 33.5 m).

As you can quickly

determine, the amount of precision using the copper wire

method is limited by your ability to bracket the depth of your item of search.

Page 162

If you prefer to work with your pendulum, your methods of establishing depth are considerable.

In fact there may be

more different methods with dowsers who use pendulums since

some may have a preferred way for different items of search.

Here I will discuss several different widely used methods of establishing depths by people who use pendulums.

First, the questioning of the pendulum in the following

"Is the top of the object at least five

manner is useful:

feet (1.5 m) below my feet?"

Using this method you are

expecting the pendulum to provide you with your usual "yes"

and "no" responses.

In this discussion let us say that the

pendulum responded "yes."

You now know that the depth is at

least five feet (1.5 m) below your feet.

It may be six feet

(1.8 m) or it may be 6000 feet (1828.8 m).

You next step is

to select another depth and repeat the questioning of the pendulum.

Let us select 10 feet (3 m).

Your question now

becomes, "Is the top of the object at least ten feet (3 m) below my feet?"

"no."

Let us say that the pendulum responds with a

You now know that the depth of your search item is

between five and 10 feet (1.5 and 3 m).

If you continue the

bracketing you can determine your depth fairly accurately.

Still another method of establishing depth is by counting circles of the pendulum.

By that I mean that you can stand

on the location of your intended dig spot and ask the

Page 163

pendulum to circle one time for each foot (30.5 cm) of depth. If the pendulum circles ten times you have determined the depth to be ten feet (3.1 m).

If you find that the one

circle for one foot (30.5 cm) method to be too slow since the

depth may be hundreds of feet you may elect to have one circle represent ten feet (3.1 m) or one circle to represent

100 feet (30.5 m).

The follow-up method to the above is to permit the dowser to relocate at 130 feet (39.6 m) and then to question the

pendulum with a question similar to those listed above.

"How

far below 130 feet (39.6 m) is the object of my search?"

If

the pendulum circles three times then the depth is 133 feet (40.5 m)•

In a similar manner you can establish other depths

as required.

Your level of accuracy depends on several

factors, your skill, your questioning, and your ability to

determine the reaction of your dowsing instrument.

Triangulation Triangulation is used with the L-rod and the pendulum more than with the wand and the Y-rod.

The primary reason is that

the L-rod is a directional locator and the pendulum can be

used to determine directions.

The Y-rod is usually used for

spot locations, such as where to drill for water.

The wand

is used to determine depths and to finalize locations.

Let

me quickly add that any dowsing instrument can be used to

triangulate and thereby to accelerate the recovery of an unseen treasure.

One of the triangulation methods used most often is to stand

at a spot in the corner of the search area. L-rod sweep the field in from of the dowser.

Then using the

When the L-rod

detects a direction this indicated direction is marked. Page 166

At

this time the dowser moves to a second spot in the field. The L-rod search is again repeated.

When the L-rod detects a

dowser looks at the two marked directions. that they intersect?

Now, the

Does it appear

If so, then the narrowing down of the

area to a dig spot has begun.

If it appears that the two

lines are nearly going into the same direction then the dowser must walk in that direction and repeat the process.

In this manner the dowser is getting closer and closer to the

area where the two intersecting lines will meet.

This is the

objective since at the intersection point is the dig point and subsequently the recovery point of the item of search.

To use the pendulum to triangulate a similar procedure is followed.

That is, the pendulum will swing in the direction

of the item of search, provided it is baited with that item

and that the item is in the search area.

Page 167

This swing is one

If so,

If not, then

Now

the dowser will have to determine how far to walk.

point the triangulation process will need to be repeated. the lines clearly intersect get the shovel or backhoe.

Page 169

Pinpointing After the triangulation process has been completed the dowser may begin to dig.

Some of you will notice that when you are

ready to dig you will think that you can tell the exact point

of intersection of the two lines of triangulation.

At this

time you may prefer to draw a 25 foot (7.6 m) circle around

the intersection spot.

This circle now becomes the area

where you will pinpoint the exact spot to make the recovery. Perhaps this is the time when most people have most of their

problems.

Do not go to fast.

Take your time and make the

recovery rather than going too fast and ending up going home ’’empty handed.”

You will have several choices while you are in the area of

interest, this 25 foot (7.6 m) circle.

You may elect to

change from the L-rod to the pendulum if you have been triangulating with the L-rod or some other dowsing instrument.

I would suggest that you change your type of

dowsing instrument at this point to provide a fresh attack

perspective.

Use the different dowsing instrument as you

have been taught earlier in the manual and make your

recovery.

An alternate choice that some dowsers use in this area is to

use a metal detector.

Of course, here I am talking only

about metal objects, not oil and water, etc. Page 171

One of the most reliable methods of determining the exact recovery spot is

that of time.

Test of Time

Does this spot withstand

the test of time.

That means is the

location repeatable over a period of

time.

Does the person doing the dowsing

work come back to the exact same spot after a few days, weeks, months, or years

have passes?

For many of us the test of

time is too long and we are inpatient to

discover our treasure.

One of the best ins ruments to help a dowser who does not have the time to wait to permit the test of time to run its

course is the PMR III.

The design of the PMR III permits it

to make desirable locations faster and with more accuracy

than any other dowsing instrument on today's market.

The PMR

III is available from Simmons Scientific Products, Post Office Box 10057, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-3792,

Some people will discover that when they are within this 25

foot (7.6 m) circle there may be more than one attraction spot.

What you are experiencing is what many treasure

hunters experience.

situation of the treasure being ’’moved.”

that the treasure is emitting images.

What we now know is

The fact that you are

getting multiple sites confirms that you are in the right area.

Therefore, while the multiple images may cause concern

the fact is that they are desirable since this confirms that you are on

target.”

Some suggested methods of coping with

images is discussed in other chapters.

Information Dowsing One of the most useful applications of-dowsing is that of determining information that would typically be easily

unavailable.

Information dowsing can be completed with an L-

rod, Y-rod, pendulum, or wand.

Most people will use the

pendulum, the L-rod, or the Y-rod for information dowsing.

Two basic rules for information dowsing are:

1.

The question must be precise.

2.

The question must be a "yes" or "no" question.

Let me give some examples that may make the two rules clear. First, a question like, "Is today Monday?" while trivial is

Page 175

clearly a question meeting the guidelines.

In contrast,

’’What day is today?” would not meet the ”yes” and ”no”

guidelines.

Therefore a circular pie similar to the one

illustrated would be necessary for the person who uses a

pendulum or the chart illustrated for the person who uses an L-rod would be necessary.

Of course, if you had to make a

chart for each question for which you chose to use your

dowsing instrument, you would find yourself using your time making charts rather than dowsing.

Therefore, the

recommendation that you use questions that can be answered with a ”yes” or a "no.”

10% ZD* 30* 40% 50* 60% 70* 80*

There is no limit to the type of question that you may ask. However, dowsing will not permit you to beat a person out of ”his fair due,” nor will it work for evil purposes.

At times

someone will try to use dowsing for ill purposes, but over

time ^hey will fail.

How will the instrument work when information dowsing?

Let

me refer you to the section on determining your "yes” and ”no” responses with the pendulum earlier in the manual.

Typical reactions with the pendulum for "yes” is a clockwise

Page 176

circle and a counter clockwise circle for "no.”

Of course,

as stated earlier, your personal reactions may be different from typical reactions.

Use and rely on your reactions not

on the reactions others tell you that you should get.

Some people will carry a chart similar to the ones

illustrated in this section wherever they go.

Before long

many dowsers find that they can create their own chart on any topic in any locale and achieve the same purposes without the

aid of the chart.

There may be a similar relationship to the

school boy who carries his multiplication tables with him and then before long he no longer needs to carry them since he has memorized the tables.

Page 177

If you are using the L-rod for information dowsing you will

find that the turning to the left and right to be the typical ”no" and ’’yes" responses.

The critical facts are simple.

If

Do not try to modify

your natural response to fit what is written in this manual or in any other book.

Do what comes natural to you.

them and placed on a card table or on the kitchen table as

Change as often as necessary until you find

your most comfortable arrangement.

There is no right or

You have not given the dowsing instrument enough

time to work.

4.

Your questions are asked in too much of a "rapid

Water There are many different methods used to establish the depth of water.

The one method illustrated will be discussed now.

The use of the Y-rod is probably the most popular method to use in establishing the location and the depth of water.

following is an accurate simple method.

The

Many dowsers refer

to the procedure as "Bishop's Rule."

While walking over the ground looking for your underground

stream mark the spot where the Y-rod begins its first pull. Recall, that some dowsers may have the Y-rod pull upward and

others may have the Y-rod pull downward.

On the illustration

that first pull point has been marked with an "A."

Continue to walk in the same direction as you were headed.

When your Y-rod is perpendicular, straight up or straight down, mark that point.

On the illustration that point is

marked with a "B."

If you were to continue to walk you would find that in a few

steps your Y-rod would begin to pull over your shoulder or it

would begin to pull between your legs, depending on if your original reaction is an upward or downward pull. certainly could mark this third point.

You

Let us wait to mark

that point.

the illustration.

For our discussion let us say that the

distance between ”A” and ”B” is 60 feet (18.3 m).

Now from

point ”B” go at least 75 to 80 feet (22.9 to 24.4 m) in the

same direction line you had been walking.

At this distance turn around and walk back toward "B" with

your Y-rod at your normal search position.

When you detect

your first pull on the Y-rod indicating an attraction for the underground stream mark that spot ”C.”

Return your Y-rod to

its search position and continue walking toward "B".

At the

point when your Y-rod is perpendicular, either straight

upward or downward, mark that fourth point "D" as indicated in the illustration.

The distance from ”A” to ”B” is the depth of the stream of

The distance from ”C” to ”D” is your

That is, if the distance from ”A” to ”B” is 60 feet

(18.3 m) then the distance from ”C” to "D" should be about 60

feet (18.3 m).

On the ground site your check distance may be

off as much as 10 percent.

It should not be much more than

that, unless you have been too casual in your efforts to

secure accurate information.

In a similar manner, the depth

of your underground stream should be within 10 percent of the

estimated depth using ’’Bishop’s Rule.”

There is one more bit of information that you can gather from

Page 191

"Bishop’s Rule" as it is illustrated.

That information is

the approximate width of the underground stream. illustration it is the depth from "B" to "D."

In the

This depth may

not be as accurate since you may have crossed the underground

stream at an angle rather than at a right angle to the

underground stream.

The energy given off by water has been determined to be in seven zones.

The "Zone of Origin" is directly above the

underground stream, as illustrated in the figure below.

Notice that the zone of origin is at the right and left edges of the stream.

The zone of origin is what was illustrated at

point "B" and point "D" in the above illustration.

Page 192

Water's other named zone of force is called the "Great Parallel."

The great parallel is given off at a 45 degree

angle from the zone of origin.

On the above illustration the

great parallel is illustrated at points "A" and "C."

The

five zones between the great parallel and the zone of origin

are not named but are evenly spaced between those two.

These

five zones enable the Y-rod to have that continuous pull as

the dowser walks between the great parallel and the zone of

origin.

There are certain rules of geometry that determine the

distance from "A" to "B" to be the depth from "B" to the edge of the underground stream.

Some will recall the term,

This is a specific term that is used

to identify this situation in geometry.

information, the decision now is where do I drill my well? The logical location is one-half the distance from "B" to "D."

You can

One, you will determine if your

underground stream will get closer to your desirable location or not.

Two, you will determine the approximate width of the

underground stream at another site.

Third, you will

determine if your underground stream is going from the

southeast to the northwest, or similar direction.

Check out

the illustration below to permit a visual image of the above

Page 195

Images The comments in the water section regarding the great parallel are regarded by some as images since only the area

actually providing water is a ’’real location.**

However, as

stated earlier, there is not great parallel unless there is a zone of origin.

So information about your location is being

gathered.

Every item has its own radiation field.

Some authors may

refer to the radiation field as a vibration, as an energy field, or similar term. far as I am concerned.

The word choice is not critical as What is important is the concept.

Each item's energy field, radiation, is determined by its

molecular structure, density, size, depth, and length of time

in the ground.

The power of the sun is great, 70,000

(How does that

compare with your car's engine?)

Recall that some metal objects have the ability to attract a magnet.

This will become an advantage for some items that

treasure hunters and prospectors search for at any given time.

Let us consider copper as one item for discussion of the concept.

Then later we can transfer the concept to other

metals, minerals, rocks, and related items.

Copper has four

images along each of the four Cardinal Points of the magnetic

compass.

These images will remain along the four Cardinal Points of

the magnetic compass but they will move as the sun moves in the sky.

Thus, the images will move in a manner of the sun's

movement but there are times when it is possible to dowse without the benefit of the images.

A lack of understanding of the images has permitted many

treasure hunters to leave a productive site empty handed.

A

few people will "blame" images on their lack of success, but in reality, a lack of practice and understanding dowsing is

the real reason for going home "without the bacon."

understand some of their errors.

figure out dowsing for years and still not get a solid grip on the remnant ray.

So, now, for sure, you have a great

advantage over other dowsers.

Solar Images The sun's energy is so great that when compared to any other energy source that source is microscopic.

One square yard

(one square meter) on the surface of the sun produces 70,000 horsepower.

For thousands of years people have looked to the

sun but only in recent time have scientists begun to explore methods of harnessing that tremendous energy source.

It is this energy source that dominates all other energy

sources associated with dowsing. dominate?

How does this solar energy

How do we learn to harness the situation to permit

us to take advantage of our sun?

These and other questions

are answered in the next few pages of text.

Read them

carefully and you will enhance your success rate.

Earlier in the manual we discussed radiation, vibrations, and

related terms to describe the energy given off my objects. Now, we will relate that energy with the energy of the sun. As you read this section you will read about shadow lines. These shadow lines are visual aids to the energy source of

the sun. shadow.

The topic of discussion is energy, not light nor The sun's energy causes the energy of the object of

Page 200

search to become channeled into two raceways.

These two

raceways become so focused that they dominate the dowsing rods and cause their own attraction sites, only at times are

these attraction sites congruent with the actual recovery site, therefore, errors are made.

Now, if you understand the

concept of solar images you will no longer have this problem. If you have seen a sunbeam bounce off an item on the ground you have experienced what we are discussing with respect to

solar images.

Specifically, when the sun’s energy, heat is a measure of energy, hits an item it absorbs some energy or reflects that

energy.

The reflection of that energy along two channels is

so strong that those channels become the attractions for the dowsing rods.

See the illustration.

The energy from the sun

is called the "solar ray" and the reflected energy is called

the "reflection ray."

As you realize at once, these rays are

in continuous motion as the sun moves across the sky.

The reason for the angles of the solar ray and the reflection

ray being the same is a law of physics, the angle of

incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

This law of

physics is important to our use of the solar images in making our recoveries.

How can you use the solar rays to help you?

"sun dial."

First, make a

You may elect to make one similar to the one

illustrated below.

The dowel pin is ten inches (25.4 cm) above the surface of

the board.

If you elect to use the chart on'the following

page you will need to construct your solar board with that

same height dowel pin.

A different length pin will cause the

numbers to be off.

In making your solar board use a 1 X 4 inch (2.5 X 10.2 cm) board about 36 inches (91.4 cm) long.

Drill a hole into the

middle of the board about one inch (2.5 cm) from an end.

Page 202

The

hole is to hold the dowel pin upright in the board permitting it to cast a shadow along the inch (cm) markings on the

board.

I have found a 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) pin to work very

nicely.

After you have made this solar gauge you will need to ensure that you use it when it is level.

If it is tilted in any

manner your shadow will be off and your depth estimates will be correspondingly off.

How can you find the solar rays and the reflection rays?

One

method is triangulation, just the exact same way that you got

to this location.

As you work down to your pinpointing you

will find that there may be two ’’hot spots.”

These two hot

spots are the solar ray and the reflection ray.

Establish

the points on the ground where the solar ray enters and where

the reflection ray exits.

Mark those two spots.

distance between those two spots.

Measure the

Now we will learn how to

determine the depth of your treasure and the exact dig point.

How do you use the following chart to establish estimated depths?

First, determine the length of the shadow cast by

the dowel pin.

That shadow length is the left most column.

Next determine the distance between the solar ray and the

reflection ray.

For our example let us assume that the

length of the shadow of the dowel pin is twelve inches.

Now

let us assume that the distance between the solar ray and the

Page 203

reflection ray is ten feet.

The chart tells you that the

depth of your treasure is four feet two inches below the

surface.

You now know if you can dig by hand or if you must

call a backhoe in to do the work.

THE SPORTSMAN

Fishing One frequently overlooked aspect of dowsing is that of fish.

If you are a fisherman,

you will find that you can fill your freezer with more fish and

a greater variety of fish than

you every thought possible.

Now you may use your dowsing instrument.

You can locate fish in streams, rivers,

the ocean.

lakes, ponds, or in

The only adjustment you must make is to use your

dowsing instrument and have a clear image of the types of fish you want to catch at a particular time.

As you gain additional experience you will find that you can

fill your cooler so fast that you may wonder if fishing is still a challenge.

Your dowsing for fish will provide you

with additional practice in your efforts to make a successful

treasure recovery.

May I point out that one you have located a school of fish they will move to a new site.

Therefore, it is necessary

that you continuously check the area for the fish you want at a particular time.

This checking will permit you to make the

Page 215

catches that you want to make.

If you want to really decrease the time that you are in the water, you can also check for the depth of the fish.

This

added information will enable you to make more catches

faster.

The downside of this aspect of dowsing is that your

chosen sport may not be as much fun as it was once.

Hiking If you are a dowser, you will always be able to find the distance to the next campsite, hazard, or watering

hole.

In fact, you will be able to

find whatever information necessary

to be safe in the field.

The hardest part of the tasks is the will to use the dowsing instrument to find out what you need to know.

Perhaps, as

you continue to work with your dowsing instrument you will find that there is a greater variety of dowsing applications

than you ever thought possible.

The important aspect is that

you need to use the dowsing instrument for as many different applications as possible.

The more you use the dowsing

instrument the greater your comfort and then it follows that

your successes will increase.

Page 216

Deer Hunting

How do you go about dowsing for deer that you may want to

hunt?

One of the most successful method is to start with a 7

1/2 minute topographic map of the area that you prefer to hunt.

For some of you this is favorite hunting ground is in

y°ur home county, for others it is in an adjacent county, for

still others it is a significant drive.

If you do not have access to the 7 1/2 minute topographic map

you can get one from Distribution Section, U.S. Geological Survey, Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 80225.

The first

task is to write and secure an index for the particular state that interests you.

After you have determined the location

and title of your chosen 7 1/2 minute topographic map you can

order it from the same address in Denver. month for the map to arrive.

Allow about a

So the best time for you to

order your topographic map is now.

In this manner you will

have time to practice deer hunting dowsing before you head into the field.

At least two or three weeks before deer season opens dowse

this topographic map for the largest buck.

It is necessary

for you to complete your map dowsing work early.

Page 217

Your early

start will enable you to check out your map almost daily If you will dowse the topographic

before deer season opens.

map almost daily you will find the "area" that the largest

buck rules.

Further, each time you dowse the map, the buck moves to a new location.

After the dowsing instrument has locked onto the

buck, the buck will move to another location.

But by your

dowsing daily for several consecutive weeks the buck's

pattern will emerge.

This territory will remain valid unless

something scares the buck from his territory.

Now that you have the buck's favorite territory, you should

be able to locate several spots that you may use as your hunting site.

You know that you must have several locations

since you will not know which direction the wind will blow. One other aspect is that someone may get up earlier in the

morning and beat you to your chosen deer hunting site.

If

that happens you will need to go an alternate location.

Now

it is clear why you need several locations in each of your

favorite deer hunting sites.

When you arrive at your hunting site and get out of your

truck, take your dowsing instrument with your and check the

area for the current spot of your largest buck.

This one

small final check will help you elect your best spot for

today's hunting.

Now, recall, that once you have located

Page 218

that largest buck, he will move to a new site.

Therefore,

plan ahead and ensure that the wind is blowing from the buck

toward you.

Otherwise, the buck will smell your sent and you

will not find him that day.

The only unfair part of dowsing for deer is that if you like to stay out in the field for a day or two with the guys, you will no longer be doing that.

In fact, it is really unusual

for the dowser to spend more than a few hours in the field,

if he follows these directions.

Most of these few hours will

be in going back to get the truck to transport the deer to

the check-in station.

Page 219

I

LOST PEOPLE

I I I I I I

I

Lost People Generally, most people will find the L-rod the most useful of

the dowsing instruments when searching for lost people.

However, many dowser will use the pendulum.

One of the most

important aspects of searching for lost people is the fact that a person who wants to be found will be easier to find

than a person who does not want to be found.

Also, a person

of limited travels is usually easier to find than someone who has done extensive travelling.

On occasion, a dowser will make a location of an identical twin instead of the person originally being sought.

The best

information is the same as has been given throughout the manual, the greater accurate information the greater the

success factor in your efforts to make a successful location.

So, get all the accurate information that you can.

The more

information the better your odds of success.

One of the hardest people to find would be a loved one.

For

most people, there are too many emotional ties to divorce themselves of the emotional stresses necessary for being a

dowser.

In a similar manner many doctors will not operate on

a family member.

Most people will find that a picture of the lost person is

easy to get and if the picture is current the photograph will

Page 221

provide an accurate image of the person being sought.

If you

can get an article of clothing from the lost person that will help as a sample for that lost person.

Perhaps the best sample for a person would be a drop of blood.

Now, this will not be easy to get.

It is very

important that you have an accurate visual image of the person you want to find.

One of the most frequently

mentioned baits for a lost person is that of a "personal

item."

When questioned, this personal item frequently

becomes a ring, watch, wallet, or similar item.

However,

probably better than any of these items would be a tee-shirt

that has not been placed in the hamper.

Now back to the photograph.

The better the image the better.

A photograph from a newspaper clipping is as good as one from the family album.

Just get as current a photograph as

possible and have it as clear as possible.

The lost person can be found even if he is no longer living.

About the only time that a lost person cannot be dowsed for

is if there has been a cremation.

This cremation will

effectively destroy the radiation emitting from the body. However, some sensitive dowsers may be able to work in an

exclusively mental frame.

This is very closely related to

psychic experiences which I will not discuss here.

Page 222

Each person will have his own personal wave that is different

than the wave of any other person.

However, identical twins

have enough similarity to cause some concern for dowsers and

if a person has a traumatic experience his or her wave may

change.

If you have no idea how to start with the search of

a person who is lost, be sure to find out why he is lost.

There may be good reason for him to be lost and to remain lost.

If a person wants to remain lost, he will be sending

out "vibes" that may cause the dowser some problems.

In some

cases it is best if the person remains lost for all

concerned.

However, each case must be handled on its own

merits.

Now that you know why he is lost, you may begin your work. First, you can sweep the entire circle from where you are now

with the baited instrument, concentrating on the direction in which the lost person is from you right now.

The dowsing

instruments manufactured by Simmons Scientific Products, Post

However, remember to

It is necessary that you

check the opposite direction to confirm that you have not

picked up an opposite ray.

Review the sweeping method, do this when you are searching

Page 223

for a lost person.

While you are searching the circle, you

should be concentrating on the direction in which the person is now from you.

The lock will point out the direction.

Now

you will have to resort to a method of finding distances from

your location.

Once you have narrowed the direction down, you may then narrow down the state.

This can be done via information

dowsing which is covered elsewhere in this manual.

Finally,

you can select the appropriate 7 1/2 minute topographic map

or city map to make the pinpoint location.

This procedure is

covered in the section on map dowsing.
