I did not use dowsing after that demo but another lesson came about 15 years later.

I was between construction jobs working for a friend who was a plasterer. One day we finished a job in the early afternoon. Cleaning out the truck at his place we somehow got to talking about dowsing and he said it was possible to dowse for anything.

He cut pieces from 2 coat hangers and bent them into L shapes. Then he set out a chunk of dried plaster, an iron chain, a hooked up garden hose, and a vial of gold chips (he loved to look for gold). Then he told me to hold the bent pieces of coat hangers loosely in my hands and think of which ever of those items I would walk across. I did that for each item in turn and they crossed for each item as I passed over it while thinking of it as I walked. His neighbor was curious and had come over while I was doing this and asked if he could try it. He did and it worked every time for him too.

My friend the plasterer (a master plasterer) was a for real psychic proven to me and others many times over.
