Received this from my cousin Glenn Van Vliet who also searches in NJ and thought the group would find this interesting as did I. Gerry Farrow I sent a similar article a while ago to some of you, but it seems this issue is getting more attention. Before you consider it hocus pocus: http://www.pantagraph.com/stories/110104/new_20041101011.shtml We used this technique to locate power lines and water lines when I was a land surveyor. I can't explain it, but it works. It likely has something to do with the rods repelling each other due to a magnetic current and difference in charges when the underground line is crossed slowly. Not unlike two magnets of the same charge repelling each other. It would allow us to dig and place monuments and narrowly miss lines. As for locating unmarked graves, I can't be so sure, but will leave for your consideration. I realize there will be skeptics. I suspect more will be written about this in the future. Glenn
