So have _you_ actually tried it?

the landscape company i used to work for used the method several times a

No amount of cases of it working is going to convince Doug. *He knows

I'm always amazed that the people who are adamant that "it works"
somehow never have an interest in getting a million dollars for their
skill. *And just to be clear, "working" doesn't mean that the rods
mysteriously move, it means that using the rods allows you to find
whatever it is you claim you can find at a level of probability higher
then chance level when the rods are all you have to go by.- Hide quoted text -

Years ago I read the actual challenge. Seemed to be set up so that it
would be all but impossible to find the objects even with a map. It
is set up so that it is 100 percent sucess or it is total failure. No
partial success allowed.

The true skeptics should at least try it before being so adamant that
it doesnt' work.
