This page is intended to provide any news that comes out of a continuing effort to understand the phenomenon of dowsing and the ongoing tests that are expected to be conducted in the future.  Selected new inputs from the visitors to this site will also be published here.

In July 2011, Check out the new story of the finding in Tinicum Township, Bucks County, PA.  Click on the Research button to the left, and then select 'The Mystery Cemetery' in the column at the bottom of the page, or click HERE

In October 2010, the Log College team of The Millbrook Society came to the rescue of the site where the monument once stood.  There is a monument to the College that was placed there in 1927.  There is only a small parcel of land that is in the middle of state land where the monument now  stands.  Development of a commercial facility behind the monument needed an easement though the state land to gain access to the highway.  The state did not have the College site on its maps.  As a result, the contractor's plans, developed with state approval, cut right through the College property.  In order to fight off this incursion, it was necessary to mark out the limits to the small piece of property, and the Log College perimeters.  This was done using the dowsing rod and utility marking paint.  This marking has been done several times before.  This time it was discovered that the log surround of the fireplace had left a log signature on the outside of the brick hearth.  This now confirms a pen and ink drawing of the building, and the fireplace feature that was earlier thought to be in error.  Since dowsing of this sort will only show one line at a time, new discoveries are not unusual.

During the summer of 2010, We again scanned the outlines of the original Horsham Quaker Meetinghouses.  We then scheduled an archaeology project at selected sites where marker stones would be placed along the outline of these old Meetinghouses.  While setting the stones we performed archaeology were the stones were to be set.   We found no artifacts that we could link to the two early structures.  We noted that the doorways were offset to the right.  This finding could be related the the placement of benches where one bench faced the others.  We also marked the outline of the base of the old Carriage House.

Whenever upcoming events are scheduled that are expected to broaden the knowledge of those interested in the use of dowsing in research of any kind, when known by the author, those events will be published here.
