Yet more confirmation from geophysics (Dowsing Today, March 2008)

There are three reports of confirmation from geophysical scans in the March edition of Dowsing Today. All three involved Janet Ridout Sharpe and Phil Carter. The first was a ditch dowsed around a bronze age mound near Rotherfield Greys, Henley which was subsequently confirmed by geophysics. The second was a rectangular feature dowsed near a church at Bix confirmed by a soil resistivity scan as being a real geological feature. The third was a Roman road near Chalgrove also confirmed by a soil resistivity scan. The work was carried out in conjunction with the South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group and will appear in their 2008 bulletin.

Dowsing for Dinosaurs (Dowsing Today, March 2008)

The three-toed footprint of an iguanadon was discovered at the base of a cliff on a beach near Hastings recently by a member of Senlac dowsers. This was in spite of a covering of shingle from recent storms. Other fossils were also discovered. Another fossil dowsing day is planned for later this year.

Archaeological finds made at Mellor Hill Fort (Dowsing Today, Dec. 2007)

Features were marked out and many have been confirmed by geophysics and/or excavation including post-holes forming part of a possible stable or barn feature. An extensive report appeared in the December edition of Dowsing Today (now 48 pages and ALL in colour!)

Dowsers find Roman artefacts at Writtle (Dowsing Today, Sept. 2007)

Dowsers have located and excavated Roman artefacts in the Parish of Writtle, Essex. Work began three years ago and has resulted in many archaeological finds including part of a sword from the Bronze Age, pottery from the Iron Age to 4th Century A.D, and coins. Pre-Roman and Roman roads have been located by dowsing and excavated. Some of the dowsers involved believe the method to be more powerful than geophysical scans.
