There seem to be a fair number of "documented" cases where dowsers have been amazingly successful at picking good locations for wells and such -- even when most "modern" techniques have failed. Not that it proves anything, but I believe there is actually an Army or Air Force manual that discusses dowsing techniques! I've never met anyone who claimed to have this "talent". Does anybody out there have any firsthand experience with this area, or is it really just another pile of bunk? Thanks much. --Lauren--
