Yes ..That is the rumor that I am always told.
The outcome was striking. An overall success rate of 96% (by dowsers) was achieved in 691 drillings in Sri Lanka. Based on geological experience in that area, a success rate of 30-50% would be expected from conventional techniques alone.
 But the overall success rate is not the only indication that the dowsing phenomenon is of considerable practical use. According to Betz, what is both puzzling but enormously useful, is that in hundreds of cases the dowsers were able to predict the depth of the water source and the yield of the well to within 10 to 20 percent. We carefully considered the statistics of these correlations, and they far exceeded lucky guesses.

G Day art, well either way the knowledge of the area and the Dowsing seem to have helped each other and of coarse
neither one is a dead cert but combining the two seems to help towards the sucess rate, but there again nothing is fool proof

Art, this was reported AFTER the dowsing was done. There is NO WAY to verify any of this. The entire report consists of anecdotal evidence, not scientific study. You are just so eager to grab onto this sort of thing that you overlook ordinary logic.

This was NOT a scientific study at all. It was reportage and nothing more. The results are meaningless unless you want to believe in fairy tales.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

So....are dowsers now claiming/confirming LRL/MFD are dowsing devices?

Seems every time there is a discussion about LRL/MFD a dowser is sure to appear and start spouting dowsing stats
