The way I douse for graves is to use 2 copper lengths of wire bent about 6"
from one end and make an L shape in the wire. Hold onto the 6" piece of wire
loosely between your fingers and thumb with the longer part of the wire
sticking straight out before you. As you walk then if you cross an unmarked
grave the wires will cross. When you are over the main part of the grave the
wires will be totally crossed and sticking out to the sides of our body.
Take a few steps and usually they will uncross themselves at least partway.
If not straighten them up and continue on. Hope this helps. Lisa

Very interesting concept. Can you explain more in detail how this works
and possibly where one can learn the procedure? I was going to hire a
ground sonor specialist but it was just too expensive.

cemetery in a couple of months. We learned grave dowsing recently and want
to dowse for the 'lost' graves. We expect to find 100-200. We want to
include these unknown graves on the plat map in order to avoid accidentally
digging in to a lost grave of one of our community pioneers.
