Yea, Kate, it ain't supposed to work, but it just does. Like bumble bees
(which technically cannot fly), dowsing just works. Try it...take a couple
of brass or copper rods, each about 24-30 inches long, bend one end 90
degrees, about 5 inches from the end. To operate, hold the small portion
of the rods gently in your clenched fist, with the long ends pointing out
in front of you, your hands about 8 inches apart and held close to your
tummy. Walk slowly around, keeping your hands in this position. At some
point, the rods will cross. Go to your local cemetery (unmarked or
otherwise) and give it an (openminded) try. Then, as a "science type", try
and figure out why it works. 'Cause it sure does!
