Hi Ken,

More on dowsing.

I once spent a summer living on a fairly remote farm on the north west coast
of Norway. One day the family brought in an elderly man who used a
coathanger to find the track of an underground stream there.

I was very suspicious of this at first, and OK, we didn't dig down to find
the/water. However, I did get to try the dowsing technique, and upon
instruction on how to hold it correctly, (this was over twenty years ago,
and I most likely couldn't do it now), the thing moved 'on its own', just as
appeared to do for him. I certainly didn't 'make it'.

It might just be worth getting someone in to try this.

"Dowsing" ? Oh for goodness sake ... I guess you haven't even
heard of the ideomotor effect.

Now if you're *really* convinced dowsing works, I have a leetle
tip for you: there's a cool $1,000,000 waiting for you if you
can show it works (http://www.randi.org/research/index.html).

Interested ?
