I had never heard of this, although a year or so ago, there was talk of a machine that could be used to detect graves - problem was that the land needed to be fairly flat to use it. I believe that it is something like a mower. I would love to know more about this dowsing. I intend to "google" it now. It would be great to have with me as I walk some of the older cemeteries.

All I can imagine is that you are detecting some variation in the density of an object buried 6 feet below, perhaps if the object is considerably longer than it is wide?

Rene', I'm also going to contact the director of the Natchez City Cemetery to find out more about the device he used. I'll post the information I find.

You will see that if you do "google" that there is quite a lot about it at various sights. Quite interesting!

I talked to the Natchez Cemetery director, who told me how he made his device: two metal cylinders, two heavy coat hanger wires bent at 90 degrees, that fit into the cylinders. He practiced for about 30 days, using the process that you can find online. I'm going to try it out myself (one of the benefits of being semi-retired) on a local cemetery. If I don't get arrested, I'll let everyone know what I find out in about 30 days.
