- Pipes
Where there are no plans available for an area it can sometimes be difficult to determine
where undergound pipes run. Some dowsers believe that they can help to locate these.
Whether they are finding the water in the pipes or the metal of the pipe itself is
unclear.
- Oil
If dowsing can locate water, can it also find oil? If so then it would clearly be a
valuable skill so it's one that many people try to perfect.
- Minerals, Gold
Perhaps the next logical extension of the dowsing skill is to attempt to use to use it to
discover underground mineral deposits, especially valuable metals such as gold.
- Archaeology
Effective dowsing could be very useful to archaeologists in helping them to locate the
sites of old ruins, graves, battles, etc.
- Lost Items
Some people like to use dowsing as a form of "metal detector", a sort of "psychic treasure
hunting". This can include looking for lost items such as keys and rings as well as
attempting to identify locations where ancient treasure might be buried.
- Lottery Numbers
Some people have been known to use dowsing to attempt to predict forthcoming lottery
numbers. If this does work then it would be a form of predictive ability which probably
shouldn't be classed as dowsing - dowsing is really about discovering the presence
of objects that currently exist rather than telling the future. In this case the dowsing
rod would probably be acting as a prop or channel for some other form of psychic or psi power.
- Pregnancy
I admit this is a new one on me, but apparently many dowers are asked "Can dowsing tell me
if I am pregnant?". I suppose that since the essence of dowsing is to locate an unseen
object then perhaps it could apply to a foetus. However I would not recommend relying on it for
such vital information and instead would suggest you use conventional methods, buy the
correct tests and consult your doctor if appropriate.
All of the above have been tried, different people claim different levels of
success.
