[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 568112, member: 4485"] It's good for a laugh. :Y: Jaros its a bit different to Chinese detector fakes that really do exist & can relieve people of their money for false goods. Dowsing/divining is more of a personal belief although there are scams that do prey on those beliefs like LRL's, eBay sellers selling "authentic" dowsing rods etc. There's no doubt people believe in divining/dowsing like some believe in tarot cards, tea leave reading & clairvoyance. I don't doubt that they believe it but none have been able to show or convince me that it works. A mate of mine done a lot of money drilling boreholes marked by a water diviner - none had water. That water diviner claimed he had an 80% success rate & scored 0% there. There's usually a good scientific reasoning as to why these phenomena appear to work but believers don't accept it i.e ideometer effect, power of suggestion, reading body language etc. As long as nobody starts advertising a "divine" service or offering to sell "authentic" dowsing rods tuned for gold or gems etc. & it remains civil it shouldn't be a problem?
