Got A Great Hit With My Dowsing Rods
I was metal detecting up in the mountains near my home in Meridian, Idaho in the hottest area of the state for mining activity but was not having much luck. The sun was going down and I knew I had to get out of there soon but was so desperate to find SOMETHING that I pulled out my dowsing rods and started walking. I went about 100 feet and the rods crossed quickly, and almost violently. It caught me off guard because I had walked so far without any movement of the rods that I went back about 20 feet and did it again with the same results. I then started from different directions and the rods crossed immediately in the same place. I grabbed my metal detector and checked the entire area and didn't get a hit, so figured whatever it is, is deeper than my White's DFX will go.
It was really starting to get dark so I grabbed my gear and left. I hope to get back up there in a few weeks and use the rods to pinpoint and get depth reading and start digging. I found this area in the first place by dowsing a topographical map. I will keep you guys up to date on what I find.
The biggest obstacle is having to cross a waist deep, fast moving stream. I have to pull my truck up to the stream and swing a grappling hook to a tree on the other side that I attach to my winch to get across with all my gear without ending up in the "drink." That is an adventure all by itself......
If you want more info on dowsing, I learned from the book called "The Successful Treasure Hunter's Manual." You can get info about from http://85dafdycqibffz59hjy-hjgw73.hop.clickbank.net/ I think it is one of the best books I ever bought because I have not only gained knowledge from it, but also profits!
that is incredible. I now realize what Ive been missing out on. I hope to hear the rest if the story!happy hunting!
I would take a photo of the spot and try dowsing it. If you were using a dowsing technique where you walk in a North/east/south/west direction, the target could be off to your side. Standing at the spot the rods are crossed, turn to the left or right. Move a step in that direction. If the rods part into a 45 degree angle spread...your treasure is somewhere in front of you. But, the rods stay crossed, see how far you can walk and rods still be crossed. Then turn around, if still crossed and the rods spread go in that direction.You could also stand where the rods cross, focus on possible targets (such as gold veins, cache, placer gold ect.) and the rods will stay crossed when you're correct, uncross when wrong. Or try avoid using a North/east/south/west direction and walk around the dowsed location. A placer gold deposit, your rods should stay crossed while standing over any part of it. A gold vein, you could follow it. A cache will be only a certain size.However, roots of large trees are known to hold placer gold...
get ya a backpack, load it with a hammer, goggles,chisel,gloves,folding saw,hatchet,some parchute rope, a small tarp or good plastic, carb snacks,& a can of sterno & always your sidearm,& a few survival items like a cell & compass sounds like i`d hang out until i found out what the loot may be, good luck, keep us posted
Good luck with the audition, break a leg. If it doesn't work out you can try your luck with L.A. reality in general chatter. That name Billy Valentine sounds like an old WFA Wrestling promoter. Cliff
I was definitely concentrating on gold. I may be done for the season because I am auditioning for America's Got Talent, and then when I get back I have to do sprinkler blowouts which will take me until almost Thanksgiving because I really get hammered with them.
What did you concentrate on while you were dowsing, you know like gold, silver or whatever. chances are if you did not concentrate on 1 mineral your target could be just about anything. Be sure and let us know even if it is until next year. Cliff
Nope, haven't made it back there yet. Probably won't be able to this year. I am preparing for a music audition in Denver the first week of October and then I do sprinkler blowouts until Thanksgiving. There will be snow in the mountains by that point. :(
i was just wondering if you went back to your spot in the mountains just curious
Doesn't look like at this point that you got it from me because I can't find a record of it as of yet. If you had, you could get FREE E-Books from my list. Did you use the link I gave you? Send my a private message so we can sort it out.
Thanks for that info on the book it cost $9.00 great price just got the e-book down loaded it and printed it out.
I made some new rods just like the ones in the book, did not work very well at first untill I slid a pen caseing down it as a handel
and now it works great with the freedom to move.
Now I did a lot of test with it indoors and works great, I ask a question about a place i have been thinking about going to for gold nuggets and its says yes that I will FIND some all in one place, and then I ask it if there is any gold coins there and it says yes,I then ask if there are two treasure there it says yes, I ask if they are caches and it says yes, and I ask if this is true, it says yes I ask if it was lying it says no.
So what do you think as you have been useing them longer than i have???? is there any more question that I need to ask besides which way and how deep it is I have ask already and est of coins it in a metal box and two feet to 4 feet down.

Got the link its sure is good reading, then when i lookt at buying its only 10 pounds sterling money and ck on the internet for one in the us its $35.00 wow so I will be getting it in e-book coast ? just like to thank you
Walt
Sorry, Treasure Hunter, I have been so busy working on some online projects as well as treasure hunting that I forgot to get back to you. The link to the book is http://www.idahotreasurehunters.com/dowsingstuff if you want to look at it. I personally own over 70 books on treasure hunting and this book is got to be my favorite. I have had much success with using the techniques in the book; more so than with any other "how to" book I have on metal detecting and treasure hunting.
Sorry, Walt. Not sure what happened. Use this link: http://www.idahotreasurehunters.com/dowsingstuff. I just love the book, and have had success with it by finding several items.
I ck out the link for the book on dowsing but it only shows a book on trasure useing a camera?? what was the book called and by whom.
Walt
wow
You got me going I most say that there is not much that would stop you from your hunt,waist deep in cold and fast moving water lol I like a man that gose after the hunt as you and I do I just wish that I got into this hobby when I was twenty, man it would have been so much better, in my fiftys now but like you I am a go and get her.
Dowsing ha i have done very littel and what I have done was in the house and back yard, just to see what would happen, I got a hand full of coins and throw them behined me which the wife looking on and then which each coin in my mine I found them one by one and all of them, unreal I was thinking to my self I did it over and over still finding all coins, let me add that the crass in my back yard is 4" high so I could not see any of the coins and that I was not looking down for them just looking at the rods, and I may add tha I would all ways go back to were I started each time I found one I onlt uesd one rod at first and when i started to go around in one spot then I used both rods so that they would cross at were the coins were.let me know how your hunt gose? and good luck, is that book you read about dowsing easy to understand, I will have to look at one, never used the rods to look for a place on the maps , how would one do that, and how dose it tell you at what depth to dig, I know too many qustions your going to tell me lol by the dam book.

I went back to the site where I got a great hit with my dowsing rods and got the same again so started digging. According to what I learned in the book I got from "The Successful Treasure Hunter's Essential Dowsing Manual", http://85dafdycqibffz59hjy-hjgw73.hop.clickbank.net/, I figured the object to be about 2 1/2 feet deep so started digging. It was about 15 feet from a large tree. I dug down about 18" and put my DFX in the hole and got a hit at about 11". I dug a few more inches and hit a large root that is probably about 9" in diameter. Stupid me didn't bring an axe or saw to cut through the roots so I have to go back again. :(
It is so difficult bringing gear into the location that I just spaced not having the proper tools. Sometimes even us veteran treasure hunters forget things. If I don't get back up there before the end of September I won't be able to get there until spring because the weather will turn nasty in the mountains.
I believe the item to be gold, so I hope in the meantime gold prices rise to an all time high.
digr, trust me, I have tons of stuff in my truck ready for anything, but there is not enough room to carry all the gear I need to get back there without another person. To give you an example on how prepared I am most times you should read a post I made last summer at my blog. To check it out go to: http://www.idahotreasurehunters.com/?p=31
I hope to do a little metal detecting on my way back from Denver next week. Depends on how worn out I am from my America's Got Talent audition.
