  Before we get into the lessons on map dowsing, it would be prudent to define what it is. There are three classes of dowsing, there is field dowsing, information dowsing, and map dowsing. Field dowsing is the best known, in that people know dowsers who can find water or minerals. This is the easiest to learn. Information dowsing is normally practiced by using a pendulum and charts which have many categories written on it in such a way that information can be obtained by asking questions from the lists. Map dowsing is a little different, in that you are using the map to represent an area that you are interested in. You are placing yourself within the area of the map to field dowse . Just simple explanations, but they will suffice for these lessons.
  I am a professional treasure hunter/finder with over forty years experience who just happened to learn dowsing by accident. I was fortunate to find a book written by the late Christopher Bird entitled The Diving Hand, which I recommend to everyone who is interested in dowsing. In this book there is a chapter on map dowsing for a shipwreck off the Cal. coast that really gave me the idea for map dowsing for treasure/wrecks. At the time, I was living in the Fla. Keys completely surrounded by water with many shipwrecks. I started to map dowse for wrecks that I knew about but did not know the exact locations of. I did this everyday, and soon became good at actually finding the sites underwater.
  I joined the American Society of Dowsers, and was introduced to people in Fla.. who could help me. I talked back and forth with some excellent dowsers and became friends with one of the best in the world. This lady took an interest in my map dowsing and gave me great advice and support. She also sent information about my map dowsing abilities to a  professor at Stanford Research Intl., who came with an assistant all the way from Cal. to the Keys to test me for two days. I must have passed their test, because this gentleman told my mentor that I was the best that he had ever seen.
  So, I hope that I can help some of you who really would like to learn map dowsing.
Bill

Bill,
    After the map dowsing maybe we could expand to cover all three types.

  Map dowsing is gathering information about a physical thing that happens to be in a location other than your own. Some say that this is a  psychic procedure, I don’t know the truth of that. I do know from long research into consciousness that the information gathered comes from what is sometimes called the Supra-conscious, which is above the super-conscious, which is above the sub-conscious, etc. The theory is that this knowledge is universal, again I don’t know. I think the knowledge may be limited to the Supra-conscious of the individual. Be that as it may, it works. At the end of these lessons, I will give the results of my research, and examples of real exercises by different people.
  The tools that you will need for these lessons are easily obtained or made (inexpensively), but they are a must have. You will need a pendulum, such as the one pictured in the above post, or what we call a Florida bobber which is pictured below. You will need a straight edge or ruler, pen or pencil, maybe a plastic sheet to cover your map, and of course the maps and charts. I will provide the charts and maps in the beginning , and these will cover the locations of real shipwrecks in Florida waters, some even of a sunken Spanish fleet. Real photos can also be used, but I will leave the details of that to my friend DowserBill.. Pendulums can be made from a variety of things, and please do not think these pendulums have any power. They do not!!! You have the power. It could be sewing thread, or string, or light chain, etc.; and any weighted object that can be attached to your string or chain.
  The proper method of determining whether you CAN dowse using a pendulum is as follows. Hold the string or chain close to the weight a few inches above your other hand, far enough away that it will not touch your hand if allowed to slip down. Hold the palm of your other hand parallel with the floor, face up. Allow the pendulum to slowly slip through your fingers (thumb & forefinger), while holding it directly over your palm. If you are successful, after a few inches of slippage, the weight will begin to move, seemingly on it’s own (it’s the ideomotor response) . It may swing back and forth, or in a circular motion. (keep trying, you can do this)
  After you have acquired a motion of some kind, it is time to set up your answer responses. The easiest way to do this is to force the motions for responses. For instance. back and forth will be YES, and side to side will be NO, and circular will be SEARCH, and diagonal will be I DON’T KNOW (oh yes). The choice is yours entirely, for you are controlling the instrument, not the other way round. Later on we will learn how to program the sub-conscious to always (nearly) give the type of answers that we require.
  This next is a word of caution. It is not advisable to dowse at one time for more than thirty min., let your MIND ( not brain) rest for a spell, and then continue. Do not dowse when you are tired for any reason. There is an optimal time for everyone to dowse, and we will learn how to find that later as well. It is called Local Sidereal Time, and has been scientifically proven to be more effective in obtaining accurate responses to anomalous cognition by 350%.
  I will give everyone time to gather that which is needed, and we will get into it.

could you explain more about the Florida Bobber also it looks like a rod with a handle do we need both or either???  Does it have bends in the end???  Just some quick questions I'll be ready with the pendulum by tomorrow.  Should the weight be made out of any special metal???  Will a string with a lead dipsey work???

Either the pendulum or the bobber will be adequate. The bobber is a thin brass rod, and a wodden handle. At the end of the rod or wire, there are some bends to sort of resemble a pointer. (of no particular use) Anything can be used as a weight for the pendulum.

Does the material of the pendulm have any influences? E.g. I had once bought a loaded pendulum from Sam Scafferi whoch was said to be good. The late Lee Franzen used to dowse with them.

Guys,
 Remember what I said earlier. The pendulum has no power, you have the power. Everything comes from you. It doesn't matter what the instruments are made of, they are just indicators. Every response comes from MIND.
