    1. Divining Rod
    2. Mary Louise Gossum
    3. This is the information as given at our genealogical society meeting on using the divining rod. I've had two people tell me it absolutely works. I've tried it too, and I THINK it works. "You hold the 2 rods (coat hangers that have been un-twisted and straightened will work) out in front of you. They don't touch. When the one in the left hand goes to the left, that means a man is buried there. If the right one goes to the right, that means a woman is buried there. If both turn outward, that means there is a male and female buried together, usually a mother and infant son. I don't know how you tell if it is a mother and an infant daughter." One word of caution. Don't do this in the wind. Mary Louise Outgoing mail checked by Norton AntiVirus
