[DARISC]

I posted this in a 'Lost Rolex' thread awhile back:

This may sound crazy, but I can tell you first hand that it's not - dowse for it. Use a forked stick (any wood species), two brazing rods bent into "L" shapes, or make a pendulum from a piece of string and...any weight.

Google "dowsing". Years ago I was at a friend's and his wife mentioned a diamond ring that had gone missing, but was definitely somewhere in their house. It had been missing for several years.

I made a pendulum and started exploring their large home, beginning in the master bedroom. The pendulum begin swinging, increasing as I approached the husbands walk in closet, then to a sport coat in the back, that he hardly ever wore. The pendulum swung more and more as I neared the inside breast pocket, where the diamond ring was found.

There's no scientific explanation for how this works, but all humans have the ability to some extent. Again, strange, but if you are skeptical, it blocks the ability and nothing happens. This is what happens when scientists gather to witness and document the process - they're scientists and by their very nature skeptical and their negative energy blocks the dowser's ability as well.

I know, sounds all New Age garbage, but believe me, while I'm a right-brained artist type, I have a very strong interest in science. I became interested in dowsing in grad school and read up on it. Turns out you can dowse for anything, not just water; missing people, buried cable, lost jewelry, anything.

Ah, i remember now! It was the summer after grad school, I'd taken a temp. job as a helper on a survey crew for a small neighboring city. We were on our way to the little zoo the city was constructing adjacent to city hall to relocate a new water line's location (workers had knocked out the stakes or whatever).

When we arrived, I happened to find, stashed in the back of the truck, two heavy copper rods bent into "L" shapes. Surveyor told me they were dowsing rods, standard issue to a lot of survey trucks (still? This was many years ago), but he'd never tried using them.

Fascinated, I asked if I could use them to see if I could locate the buried pipe and he told me where and what direction to start walking. As I slowly progressed, suddenly the tods, held close in front of me like pistols, began to slowly rotate until they crossed (for some, the rods will rotate in opposite directions). When they were at 180 deg. opposed, the surveyor told me to stand still while he eyeballed and scratched a line in the dirt to correspond to the angle of the rods.

Surveyor set up his transit, directed me to assist and located the PVC pipe, which was not yet even connected to a water source. It's location was directly below, and precicesly aligned with the line scratched in the dirt.

I was totally intrigued and did a lot of reading and experimenting afterwards. I could recount numerous episodes where, over the years, I've located various objects as well as locations of people's homes on maps, etc. Again, if you're open minded and don't "block the energy" or whatever the hell happens if you doubt it will work, it will definitely work.

Interestingly, the process of dowsing is physically draining. My understanding is that whatever is used, forked stick, pendulum, etc., simply amplifies subtle, unconscious body movements, making them visible.

Give it a try! Believe me, I wouldn't have spent all this time poking at this keyboard if I didn't know all this dowsing stuff to be true. Hope you find the Rolex!
