Moderated Dowsing By Edge

Somewhere where there is no metal or whatever to interfere with the operation of the dowsing rod.

I thought that was one of the things dowsing was supposed to do, find metal.

And as Tricky points out, Edge needs to define what he means. "Neutral" could mean a lot of things.
 
While I have been here in Ca. in this town,
Some one has been telling me there’s a place where the copper veins are on either side of a creek running through this gorge, He says,
And I quote, you can throw a screwdriver or a set of keys and they will levitate 6 to 8 feet above the water flow.

I am going to check it out and film it.
It’s a 3-mile hike to the spot.

Any way, do you think it’s possible?

edge, my sarcastic remark above aside, this has nothing to do with your challenge app. If you want to pursue a thread about some nutbar friend of yours, start another thread and have at it.

This thread is about your challenge - and that alone. Stick to the topic and, more to the point, stick to the challenge. Distractions such as this utterly idiotic one detract from your making progress on your claim and seriously detract from the possibility that folks will take you seriously.
 
SezMe,

Says who?
(No, I mean it. Why can edge not have a little side issue going if he wants. While we wait for the main game to resume.)

Hey, he can have as many side issues going as he likes. edge can be entertaining with his other interests and, as I stated in my post, I have absolutely no problem with him opening as many threads as he wants to discuss those interests. But this thread in the MDC forum should be devoted to his current challenge...and ONLY to that challenge.

We should not expect much different from Mr. Sacagawea.

We should expect one more journey around the sun filled with excuses, evasion, fish tales, the whole shebangabang.

Everything but evidence for his dowsing abilities.

Why refine a protocol for a possible Million Dollar award, when you could simply ramble about levitating keys?
 
No, that is so close to being impossible as to qualify. If there were magnetic pulls, the keys or whatever metal would have to be perfectly balanced from all sides. If you don't believe me, try suspending a piece of metal between two magnets. It always gets pulled to the one that is closer or stronger.

The only time you can make something "levitate" is if you have two magnets with the same poles held in place and facing each other with one above the other, but you have to have something to hold it in position, or it will simply flip over and they will join. Again, if you want to test this, try suspending one magnet over another without anything to hold the upper magnet.

And of course, keys and screwdrivers are generally not magnets, so this wouldn't work for them anyway.

Your "friend" is either deeply misguided or is lying or is yanking your chain so he can laugh at you. Don't waste your time on this.

He doesn’t know about me except that I mine.

He does say that a nail is light enough that it will shot over to one side and at great speeds.
It's a spot that we also plan to mine, as he knows what's there.
It's worth a look.

If true then the copper veins must have some sort of charge?

Pure limestone is calcium carbonate, but in the real world, there is virtually nothing that is pure. You can find metal salts in almost any kind of rock on earth, but the amount may vary greatly. Limestone is not as likely to contain pure metals (as opposed to metallic salts or other compounds) as many other rocks, but it's not impossible. The world is a big place.
Nothing big,[metals] I would think, salts wouldn’t matter .

And Paula says,
How convenient, but being better than a baseball batter is still poor.

To many reality is a real pisser, therefore they have a so-called god....

Editing uncivil post. The question should be "What do you mean?"

A charge? When in the ground, please........

And I see you're up to name calling again, please don't be childless.

If I wanted it that way I would have done it that way, "When in the ground" was not a question thank-you it was a statement...............:confused:

Okay, I can see that, but I'll have to trust you meant that. Don't know if I do.
 
If a skeptic has that kind of power then where does it come from?

Hell maybe a skeptic should take the challenge.
:)

Sounds good. Here's my claim: I have the power to nullify anyone's paranormal powers. i.e. when I am present during a controlled, double-blinded, demonstration of supernatural powers, those powers will fail to pass the demonstration.

Where's my $1M?

Check's in the mail. I sent edge one, too.

(The last sentence reads for BillyJoe: I sent edge one two.)

Luckly dowsing is not paranormal.
I'll take that bet lets go mining.
 
...
You know why?
I can prove it in the field.

Okay, so when will you be ready to conduct a test according to JREF's standards for protocols? I'm personally not interested in the copper vein / magnetism test, because that's not what you've proposed to test for the Million Dollar Challenge.

When are you going to be ready to actually conduct (your next) Million Dollar Challenge test?
 
...You have to see it to believe it.
They say, other scientists that there is no measurable force when dowsing, that’s wrong.
I can measure it.
Without wishing to derail this thread further...

HOW can you measure this force?

Some time way back, Edge claimed that the attractive force from dowsing nearly ripped his rod out of his hands, even though he was wearing gloves. Unfortunately, when we suggested a test for this force, he failed to demonstrate it (and reported it honestly). He was not able to make a pendant of pure gold swing by dowsing at it, so this claim of strong force has never been substantiated by him.

He has further claimed that this force is unique because it does not adhere to Newton's 3rd law, in that it creates an action without any equal and opposite reaction, though he has failed to elaborate on this.

It is possible he will claim that he never said such things, and I'm not even sure I can find the posts to prove it (as I say, it was some time back) and I don't accuse him of lying. I think he truly may have forgotten much of what he has said, especially the parts that contradict each other.
 
Is it funny, how these rods don't do a dam thing when they are just laid down on the ground, they only work when in the hand, mmmmmmmm.
