"Mr McCormick told the BBC in a previous interview that "the theory behind dowsing and the theory behind how we actually detect explosives is very similar"."
That about sums it up...
- watmough 17y agoI'm not trying to suggest this device works. On the other hand, we hired a guy to dowse and dig a water well when I was a kid. He dowsed, and drilled a well. Just an 'anecdatum'.
- science4sail 17y agoI'm under the impression that groundwater is reachable from almost anywhere, provided that one digs deep enough.
