now folks this is true story... no poking fun. i had a directional locator dowser thingy from yesteryear i sold on ebay for $75. no markings and sadly cant find my old pixs of it. i got it in 1970 from an old Great aunt and Great uncles estate in Florida. they died a week apart no kids. so we had to clean out the house. I was 13 yrs old. they were STRANGE to say the least., they were in their 80s. supposedly Christian went to church, left little house and so forth to church and pastor got car. but their secret stuff.. the adults ran us kids out of back room. many trashbags sealed up went to curb. we peeked about got a butt whooping.
they were into taro cards and fortune telling, the Ouigi type boards. i forgot how to spell it, my cousin found a gazing ball worth a small fortune out of Austrian crystal, and later tossed it in the landfill. got scared of it. dummy. Dad got the battery powered thing with a handle that was some sort of dowser and locator thing. was a aluminum D battery tube with brass rod wrapped in wire and had a soldering iron looking end. offset handle underneath. it had a sample clip and a little car light bulb. my dad went there as a young man and swore that my uncle put a piece of gold in it and it would light up near gold or point to where it was at. it was old, looked like when they first came out with lightbulbs for a car. my dad saw it work in the 40s, he claimed. we could never make it work lolololol. thats what i sold. there were other dowsers etc... and stuff we were not supposed to see. Lordy knows what went to curb, Astrological charts i know. Horoscope stuff. they lived in Wildwood Florida and he was retired railroad man. i went there only twice as a little kid. they came up here to Grandmas once a year. but it was a guarded visit to say the least. rest of family kinda knew but was not spoken, like say they died in 1970, so the era of see nothing say nothing. . my dad swears the aunt levitated a coffee table. ok. dad had a temper, I did not argue, so let it go. my older sister says she was a witch. ok let it go. now we got good tools a nice rifle etc railroad stuff and normal stuff but the hokey pokie went in the trash except the dowser and Ball which later went, still mad at the cousin lololol. . my very religious aunt would have taken the dowser thingy from dad and trashed it too. did not tell dad but the dowser i could see possibly working for WHAT IT WAS, and early type magnetometer or sensor or something reactionary physics wise, not pyscic . the coffee table... ummmm. ok. one should note that Wildwood, old Ocala, Winter Haven, were all Florida wintering grounds for Circus and Fair workers. so plenty sideshow folks, con artists, gypsies, and flat con artists. worked some police cases in Ga from folks in the Sunshine state.
do people have the gift? maybe maybe not. wish i had kept the thing. but $75 bucks went toward a used Silver sabre that has many times paid for itself. a sure thing.
