DOWSER, PENDULUM, FAIRY WÄND AND   

  DIRECTIONAL DETECTOR

THE TRUTH

Many of our friends, Latincom Club’s members and detections novices often, question us about such searches tools and methods based on radio-aesthesia.  

We, in turn, have asked our main consultant, a trained scientist to shed a light on the fundamental principles which would “cause” that the above paraphernalia does/can  indeed   indicate the presence of hidden metals!  .

Scientific Proof: Our expert, for days, searched, in vain,  a coherent scientific explanation:- going over (magic) scribbles, analyzing, the best analysis on the subject, consulting manufacturers’ catalogs of such paraphernalia-, to finally convince himself that this wasn’t anything but bunk.  The explanations given by some, contradict others (explanations) offered by others.  A maze of words of libidinous conjectures and  foggy interpretations… ionic perception… telluric waves… body magnetism… transcendental vibrations, to mention only the most “alluring”  ones.  The great master Salvador Dali did use such artifices, to subjugate his audiences through a flood of incoherent and pseudo-scientific words, to amuse and delight the gallery.

Having no logical explanation at our disposition,  in order not to discard something that could prove to be efficient/beneficial (axiom-like speaking: perhaps not everything can be ultimately demonstrated), we proceeded to the experimental stage  in order to find out about if there was  any validity  in such devices.

To do so, we subsequently acquired: dowsers, pendulums and magic wand from unscrupulous vendors who, shamelessly in their respective documentation, affirm searches-parameters while ascertaining that a deposit could be found at a 4 to 5 meters (15 ft) under the earth!

TRYOUTS: First, we drew a well marked line 30 meters long (90 ft), on a  recently ploughed and raked field (lent to us by our friend Octavio), then we hid, on its trajectory, at 15 cm deep (6”), a big 25 cm diameter (ø 10”), tin can filled with copper washers.  A little further, we buried a huge bronze faucet and at the extremity (10 cm deep) a bag of 20 big silver coins.   

Everything was  subsequently well packed down and all traces were eliminated.  The experimenter (our crew member Eric Masselin) who had not participated in the burial arrived  on the premises at 10.00 a.m..  We, then, asked him to pin-point the 3 targets using the probing “paraphernalia” by just following the traced trajectory.  (Nothing difficult… the only thing to do was to mark the targets location on the line).  

Dowser: Eric had, prior, spent many hours practicing during a few days… He started walking on the line… the two needles or twigs moved here-and-fro, at the wind’s whim or according to the chaotic walk of the experimenter.  Fifteen minutes later, with much hesitation, Eric marked two targets, (alas, far from the actual targets!).   

Pendulum: In spite of having followed the “operating instructions” Eric was not able to spot any target.  The pendulum oscillated in every direction without us being able to figure out why.  Finally Eric threw it out in a fit of  anger.     

Conclusion: You must not believe in everything but only in the best metal detection material of world known reputation.
