I believe the question was whether dowsing was an entirely European
folk tradition. My answer was an "apparently not," insofar as I knew of an
Indian
from Kerala, living in Africa, who dowsed for water using a necklace.
Neither the
question nor my answer had anything to do with finding (or, more likely)
excavating
sites. I do not see any meaningful connection between my answer to
Schuyler's
question and Wittkofski's response. Let us all take deep breaths and calm
ourselves.

If you all really want "the truth" about dowsing, you need to look at The
American Society of Dowsers web site:
http://dowsers.new-hampshire.net/
If you want to know how to make your dowsing rods, refer to the following
site:
http://home.interstat.net/~slawcio/dowsing.html
Personally, I'll skip all the mysticism, and stand by with the old tried
and
true round-point shovel, quarter-inch mesh screen, and trowel to find my
sites!
