If you think that there is nothing of my theory try going to the beach at low tide. Then lie down at the low water level mark and wait 24 hrs. I think after 12hrs as the tide comes in and the waves are drowning you, you will realise my theory is correct.
My theory which really isn't my theory just known science is MASS ATTRACTS MASS and the amount of attraction is proportional to the MASS.

For the moment, let us dismiss some skeptic notions such as "trick of the mind", and examine forces which may be involved with the movement of the dowsing rods.
To begin, we can assume the dowsing rods are two L shaped rods which are held inside two tubes that allow the rods to swing from side to side when there is some force to cause them to swing.
And we also assume you hold these two tubes in your two hands.
Also, we assume the rods are held so they are slightly tilted down at the front... pointing downward maybe 10-15 degree angle.
We know that L-rods can be made from steel or from non-ferrous metals.
For this discussion, let us assume that brass rods are being used which are about 18" long from the tubes that hold them, and they weigh about 23 grams each.
We also assume you are walking outdoors where you look for something buried.
And we assume you are walking either on the ground, or some structure that is resting on or buried in the ground.
So, what forces are acting on the rod that could cause it to move?
Let's start with direct forces first:
1. Mechanical forces from muscles in the hands and arms of the dowser.
2. Force of gravity acting on the rod.
Then there are some indirect forces which could act on the rod:
1. Neurological electric signals within the dowser that cause muscles to apply forces to the rods.
2. Variations in the gravitational field strength and direction that could concievably happen over time or distances which the dowser may walk.
Then there are some third order indirect forces which could act on the rod:
I am talking about Ideas which may enter the consciousness or the subconscious thoughts of the dowser.
While an idea is not a physical force, an idea can cause physical consequences.
What kind of ideas?
Ideas such as...
"I wonder if it is buried over there"? or
"buried nuggets are always found at this part of a stream bed" or
"the force of the full moon puts me in the mood to look over here" or
"that dude who buried the treasure for me to find is looking nervous now that I have walked over here ... maybe I should start digging"...
The result of this kind of idea could cause a chain reaction which results in the dowser's muscles to cause the rods to move without him being aware that his muscles caused them to move.
This is quite an amazing feat, but I have seen evidence that some dowsers can accomplish it.
But what about other theories, such as "mass attracts mass" and the increased attraction caused by the increased mass of a buried object is what makes a dowsing rod move?
The increased mass theory does not work because it has two fatal errors that I can think of:
1. Some of the dowsed materials have the exact same density as the earth they are buried in.
For example, suppose a dowser was looking for a buried ancient pottery worth a fortune, that was made from the same clay that it is buried in.
The pottery weighs the exact same as the soil, so there is no difference in mass of the pottery or mass of the earth that it displaces.
2. If there is a difference in mass for a buried treasure such as golda gold coin (5 times heavier than average soil), then this difference in mass is no where near large enough to impose a significant force on a dowsing rod.
As an example, start with the formula for the force of gravity between any two objects:
F = (G x m1 x m2)/r
where F is grams of gravitational force acting between the buried coin and the rod,
G is the universal gravitational constant, = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
m1 is the mass of the gold coin, 23 gm
m2 is the mass of the brass rod, 23 gm, and
r is the distance between the gold and the rod, 1.5 meters.
Let's presume we are trying to locate a large gold coin that weighs 23 gms, buried 10 cm deep, and the brass rod also weighs 23 gms.
And suppose we are very close to where the coin is buried, standing less than a meter away from it.
The increased gravitational attraction because of our proximity to the coin calculates to 1.5997332422387 x 10-12 grams force.
This is the best conditon to find the gold coin, when it is nearly under your feet, yet the force is less than 2 trillionths of a gram.
Suppose there is a gravitational anomlay at the location where the gold is buried which causes the gravitational force on the gold coin to be double... then we have a force of 3.2 trillionths of a gram acting between the gold and the rod.
Could 3.2 trillionths of a gram force cause the rod to swing?
Or is it more likely the dowser's muscles caused the axis of the rod to move so the gravitational force from the earth (Up to 1 gm force) moved the rod?
