I wouldn't count on that!

I've used an elaborate dowsing rod made out of iron rod (I believe) with a permanent magnet attached. It felt "strange", but worked. There is some info on using permanent magnets on a pendulum or divining rod in Christopher Hills' "Supersensonics" to separate vertical and horizontal electric fields, but I haven't really tested it (yet).
I have what I believe to be an important topic for discussion - it really surprises me that I don't recall ever seeing this mentioned, or surprisingly, a debate on the matter. Have any of you ( & I feel sure that Chris has, if anyone) ever seen a detailed article or book on the pros or cons of magnetic vs. non-magnetic dowsing equipment? this really has my curiousity up, as I know the majority of equipment is non-magnetic- to the best that I've seen. I'll anxiously await your thoughts, reasonings, & knowledge about this...Blessings all, NightLighter
Appreciate that, Chris!
