It's not at all difficult to prove otherwise. Well, it's not insanely difficult.

Sanctuary's friend made a prediction about a burial. If...

1. It can be reasonably established no one else has information about a burial, and
2. The burial is there,

then that's perfectly good proof the friend can dowse. No open minded person could doubt or deny it. Not difficult at all, just expensive.

Not "perfectly good proof" since a sceptic might still claim it was just luck. It would need to be demonstrated repeatedly elsewhere.

And that's the problem with dowsing, so few convincing successful sequences of tests*, so many less-than-fully-structured demonstrations.

*None?
