George, do you think I should set up a test?

A proper one, maybe with a (small) cash prize if required, to be set up in a way that neither supervision nor observation are needed. "Success" would be to be able to say what was attached to or under or behind or inside the target.

First stage would be to ask for expressions of interest, based on exact details of its form.

Second would be appointing someone totally trusted to set it up physically.

Third would be to get confirmation from participants they were 100% content with the format and adjudicator.

Fourth would be the test period, until someone was successful.

Fifth would be a second identical test to see if the successful person could repeat their success.


Nigel , If you are willing to put up with the hassle , why not ?
Sounds a bit like "Masquerade " , Bamber Gascoigne as setter upper ? Come to think of it "masquerade " was another opportunity for dowers to show their abilities , either from a map or in the field .
The cash prize could make it demeaning and off putting for some ,so they could always opt out from any reward .
The test should be open to non dowsers too .
