So that would be a very small amount of dowsers that you are basing all your information on then. Maybe the others have read all the ridicule dished out at those that came forward so keep well away. Can't say I blame them. Right, must get on.

We've been here before. You really shouldn't fall back on the old chestnut of "aggressive cynicism prevents them proving it". It's the lack of ability to prove it that prevents them proving it (despite endless polite invitations, massive financial incentives and the promise of their own TV shows, worldwide fame and immortality!)

Okay Nigel, please enlighten us by revealing how many EXACTLY of the 1000's of dowsers out there have shown this 'lack of ability' as you seem to know so much about them. At least I'm honest enough to say I know feck all much about them but do know that you have to be pretty committed to get off your arse every weekend and get out in the field in all weathers to carry out what for them is a serious hobby. Beats sitting in your armchair or looking at a computer screen and googling away to gain your information from like many do!

How many have done what they say they can do ?
i.e. ""Basically if you are able to name and describe something that existed the dowser can find where it was."

Do you know of any dowsers who have actually discovered anything under test conditions ?, a pot of ring pulls will do . Non dowsers find stuff all the time including previously unrecorded archaeology in places where it might not be expected i.e. not the major monument honeypots .It could be due to luck , graft , planning you name it but the finders never suggest dowsing .
Simply because lots of punters do something they enjoy doesn't mean that it is efficacious .
