No, don't move it anywhere!  Dowsing (dousing, geomancy, et al)
is the first @i(orgional) subject to be discussed on this net in
the three years I have been scanning it.

I have no doubt that water containing ions from solutes could produce
a magnetic field as it rushes along underground.  But could this be
detected by someone holding bent coat hangers?  How bout net.cranks?
net.boin? (beleive it or not?)

What experiences have you had that defied ration explanation (at least
for a while)?
