Well, perhaps not excavation, but non-intrusive scans would be interesting. I wonder how much that would cost? Mmmmm.

Any info on companies that do archaeological scans?

Worth considering?

Worth testing elsewhere first , if he was willing .
If he can show that he is capable of finding anything that nobody would be expected to find without dowsing then it's worth testing at Stonehenge .
But I doubt that he would be up for a test .

Anyone could go to Stonehenge with or without knowledge of the site and suggest that there are pits , cremations , buried stones , Anglo Saxon coins ,Victorian bottle tops and there is a possibility they might be right or close .If a dowser did the same it doesn't mean it was due to dowsing . Finding previously unrecorded archaeology in an area where none might be expected is done all the time by non dowsers and non detectorists on a daily basis .If dowsers could show , even that ability they might get accepted and it would be a start ,but they haven't

Could be worth Dave having a chat with him to hear his side as he is brave enough to leave not only his email addy but phone number as well.

The recent discovery of hundreds and hundreds of new features at Stonehenge is a bit of a humbler for both dowsers and archaeos with theories about what the landscape was all about!
