Then contact the James Randi Educational Foundation

and claim your million dollars.


So have _you_ actually tried it?


Beside the point. You have; you claim it works. Prove it, and you're an
instant millionaire.


First off, read what I wrote earlier. I don't "claim it works" as in
"finds stuff". That the rods do move is a simple demonstration and as
I said at least 1/2 of the people trying it will find they move on
their own...at least if they are infulenced by the guy holding them it
can't be detected...at least I can't.

Have I found stuff using the rods? Yes, but there were other clues
to the the locations.

2 wells - proven by drilling - meaningless as here you can hit water
almost anyplace.

Septic tank lines for a neighbor. I knew where the tank was but not
where the field lay. Dowsed 2 lines correctly - meaningless as that
was the only logical place for the field.

Water line traced 1/4 mile to an old school house. Dug at schoolhouse
end to fnd that the line entered 180 degrees from where the rods said.

My own septic tank - but then I knew the general location.

etc. etc. etc. and at the end of the day the RODS WILL MOVE. Do they
correctly show what I am looking for? Sometimes

Color me as a 'half skeptic'

You are claiming the rods don't show anything but are unwilling to try
it yourself apparently.
