I remember occasional references to dowsing on TV programmes but these were not really convincing to my mind - dowsing is not a spectator sport. I especially remember James Randi's Psychic Investigator series in which Michael Cook passed one of his tests only for Randi to poo-poo it the following week.

However the big question is where is he now? If he was any good he would have been famous. Since he is not famous his dowsing cannot be any better than chance.
 
A man dowsed the grave site of Robert the Bruce with a map that had roads and was told that only one grid contained a cultural landmark... and he guessed at two of them. And he's a local???

I'm ****ing astounded.
 
I find map dowsing a good guide, but need to walk the area to pin point things. Ok you can laugh now. Graves are easy to find.
 
Did Randi know where the landmark was? He could have given the position away.

"see, I swing this pendulum and ask the question, and look at Randi for any hints as to the squares. I got reactions from two of the squares, so I will keep doing it until I know for sure which one has the landmark"
 
That was my thought too. There is nothing in the video that says the answer is no, but Randi should know that this may ruin the experiment.
 
I like to work in more dimensions. I'm a globe dowser. The smaller the globe, the more accurate I am.
 
When I dowse for maps I usually find them in the glove box or old kitchen drawers.

I also dowse for the Earth and find it no matter where I am.
