@MW383 and All re dowsing

Its like the realtors say, location, location, location.  For the EB to work, we must know to best places to put the rods.  In the old days, people were more in tune with the earth.  I will say if you have a skeptic mind, dowsing won't work.  You have to believe it will work and ask for what you are looking and the earth currents will respond.  A lot depends on your emotional state and need.  Here is my experience with my only attempt at dowsing:

In 1969, my small town experienced a major flood.  About 14 people died in mudslides and about 60 homes destroyed and maybe 200 badly damaged including mine.  It took about one year afterward for me to get the energy to rebuild my house.  I needed to find the water meter.  After one year the ground had dried rock hard with the flood debris about two feet deep.  I dug about three holes where I though the meter was.  I could not find the meter.
I have a bad back and digging is very difficult for me.  I thought I would try to dowse for it.  I got two welding rods, bent them in an L, and walked in a straight line and got a feeble reading.  Not being sure it was a reading, I came in from a slightly different direction and got another small reading at the same spot.   I said OK, I will dig another hole.  Lo and behold, I hit the meter head on.  Even though I had never dowsed before, had no lessons, I did have a great emotional need to find that meter.  It has been said that earth currents are semi conscious.  They will respond to your needs.  If the dowser wants water, his mentally asks for it.  If he wants gold, he states his need and the currents respond.  I wanted my meter and I found it.  Ask for the best place to put the rods.

Here is the best doc on dowsing as an attachment:

My opinion is that the alignment is more important than the location.  Of course, I could be wrong but it works for me.

I used to do a lot of metal detecting with a White's metal detector.  Never tried dowsing but I do believe in it as not too long ago folks hired one before digging wells and they were correct most of the time.  I may cut up some coat hangers and give it a go.  It would be a fun experiment.

In the beginning, I am sure dowsing ability played a major role with Stubblefield.  However, I've come to the conclusion, that later on, he was able to condition the ground.  At that point he could have put the rods anywhere within the conditioned field and drawn energy.

I hope my intuition is correct.  As I develop theory of his EB, I will reveal how I think he did this.  My idea started on the other thread and I will continued my thoughts there.  That way a year or two from now, a new person may find the thread and everything will be in the same place.  I may be wrong, but it could be a piece of the puzzle.  If I am right, it would be nice if we did not have to worry about where to put the rods.  We just put them in the ground and condition the spot where they are.

I have the property to try this conditioning. Im thinking Zinc powder or a Zinc solution. If you guys can give me your opinion on how to set the experiment up for an EB with Zinc Ill try it. Should Zinc powder be used or a solution.? What mesh? Dimensions for a viable experiment? How deep? Should another element be used that doesn't destroy the earth for vegetation?  Im in South Central Florida.
How would you know when dousing with branches or metal if your picking up water,metal,or a magnetic field? I know there are magnetic field detectors but they sure are expensive. I found this unit that is supposed to pick up metal,pvc or magnetic fields for $25.

Chris:

You might be correct.  All we have is what we can read and we have to decide what is correct and what may not be.  As I have said before, if it was something specific to Stubblefield's farm area, or conditioning he did to the ground, how did he make his system work when he took it on the road for demonstrations in Philly, NY and Washington DC?  One of these, he did in the Potomac river itself from a boat.  His system still worked.  That is what I can't figure out.
