    Well hell, lets send Pakistan some divining rods to help them find bin laden.

    It was some idiot reporter who said ‘divining’. Not “How did you find the cavity?” Just pulls a stupid question out of his ass.

    I figure he either means a depression in the ground, or they used something like radar or sonar. Never really a CSI fan, but I doubt walking around with a stick will accomplish anything more than making you look like an idiot.

    The sheriff looks like he hasn’t had any sleep in days.

    Several years ago my neighbor, a Gas Co. employee, showed me a trick they use to find pipes quickly. Using two welding rods bent at right angles near an end with the short end held between thumb and forefinger straight forward. We walked our drive looking for the main drain and those rods would turn 90 degrees every time we went across the drain line.

    Last night on DYI I saw the same trick performed by an Ontario health Inspector looking for the drain field for a septic system. Mike Holmes of Holmes on homes was amazed. He tried it and it worked for him also. TV coverage, no less.

    Ahh, the poor man’s Manetic Anomaly Detector. Maybe they got hits with a metal detector. A body might not have much metal, but keys, coins, jewelry, etc. should be plenty.

    Don’t laugh…this has been used for a very long time

    Diving has been refuted and disregarded since the 1600’s, and anyone who believes it works is just as mis-informed and backwards as the charlitains who use it to find water, or anything else.

    If one does a little research, they’ll find that a phenomena known as “ideomotor action”, is at the heart of divining. It’s an involuntary motor action resulting from a suggestion, similar to the “Ouija board” effect. It’s the only science involved in divining whatsoever.

    So, you who are true believers, need a wakeup call. It’s no more scientific or accurate, than if I just walked around in a field and at some random point stopped and pointed to the ground and say “dig here”.

    Whatever…the latest news is that they found her remains in the suspect’s yard. He’s fooked…

    some of us just have a Knack using divining rods, the rest of the world thinks we’re crazy……

    brazing rods work the best….. just twirl them a bit to build up a static charge

    must have been the bloodhounds day off :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    These are the facts about the case and the divining comment.

    Electromagnetic detection systems are useless without a ferrous metal source and the located body remains had none in its vicinity. “Divining” and “Rods” were stated clearly in the interview and were used by the Sheriff by way of a “Dowser”. This individual had offered to scan the property by standing on one corner of a very large search area and “Asked” about where they may find what they were looking for. Firstly, it was “Asked” if the search object exisited on the property and the rods reacted. They then “Asked” if they could be shown where it lay and the rods again reacted when they were in the right position by scanning the property area from one corner in an ARC sweep.

    The fact that they found the body on the first hole is totally inexplainable in any scientific context and defies all odds of probability. One could win the lottery every week before having something like this happen by chance.

    We have used dowsing to locate all sorts of things and in a reandom test for water location, our accuracy rate was 96.7 percent over drilling a random hole.

    Charlitan is a very nieve statement from those who have not tested thier statement clinically.
