[meteorite-list] Divining and dowsing-a question

[Stuart McDaniel]

OK, I worked for Duke Energy for several years, and now work for the city. 
My father retired after 28 years with Duke Energy as a lineman supervisor 
and I can tell you NOT ONCE have I ever or did I ever see anyone using 
clothes hangers to locate thousands and thousands of dollars of buried 
cable. They ALWAYS preferred 99.9999% accurate electronics made specifically 
to locate cables and utility lines, not to mention the liability involved in 
a "chance" encounter with someone's million dollar fiber-optic cable with 
the potential to cause millions of dollars damage if cut!!

Dowsing/divining is BS!!!
