What should I look for first when I start dowsing? Gold, silver, water?

Question

I didn't know dowsing was a myth.

Answer 1

Dowsing doesn't work.  All tests of the method have shown it to be random.

If anyone ever tells you that it does work, point out that James Randi (randi.org) will pay a million dollars or more for repeatable evidence of it's ability.  It's a good way to make money and prove me wrong at the same time.

Answer 2

It really has been disproved, there are heaps of places that are willing give $100,000 - $1,000,000 for any proof of dowsing just search for them online...no one has ever been able to show a better than luck chance at dowsing.

As the guy said before it's a myth and tricking yourself doesn't stop it from still being a myth.

You might wanna look for a hobby that doesn't involve lying to yourself and others.

Answer 3

These are science questions and dowsing is a proven myth.  Want a scientific answer?  Get a metal detector and look for gold!

Answer 4

Dowsing is no myth.... You can use it to find water and I have done it myself. It is a very usefull tool at finding underground water lines. I have provided a link to the American Society of Dowsers.  Good luck and have fun !!
