Do you still stand by his use of dowsing rods?

How many times do I have to go over this with you? Here are the facts.

And a highly selective collection of 'facts' at that!

1. David Fasold brought the instrument to the site on his own accord.

Which was subsequently used and became an intricate part of the
overall survey in question. Do you deny this? It is on tape! The
grid lines that were subsequently followed by the more conventional
metal detector (which had a completely inadequate depth finding
capability for the job in question) followed these grid lines.

2. Ron Wyatt brought metal detectors and subsurface radar.

The subsurface radar (highly subjective) was used both very briefly
and separately, covering only a minimal amount of the entire
formation.

The metal detector reacts to mineralized soil in addition to man-made
metallic structures. No *claimed* underlying structure has ever been
independently verified - in fact quite the contrary! What was
believed by some initially to be some sort of decking proved upon
further investigation (core drillings) to be bedrock.

The fact that you like to talk about dowsing rods all the time is
because you want to distract from the equipment that Ron Wyatt had
brought.

Ron 'The Con' himself even defended the use of dowsing rods! It would
have put him in an awkward position not to do so since the results of
their use laid the foundation for further surveys at the site. This
is about the (complete lack of) validity of the survey as a whole and
not just who brought what.

Regardless of what you chose to believe about the actual use of
dowsing rods, you cannot deny the fact that your pal Ron put forth a
patently ridiculous defense of their use when he claimed that they
must work because they cost so much money to begin with. Do you also
deny that he made such a defense of them?

As far as 'distracting from the equipment' that your pal the nurse
anesthetist also used, this appears to be nothing more than one of
your typical dodges to avoid the issue in question, the complete lack
of validity of using dowsing rods as an integral part of what is being
sold as a scientific survey.

For what it's worth these other forms of equipment (separate issues in
themselves) all have their own shortcomings that just further
justifies not taking Ron 'The Con' or his claims seriously.

Last time I checked you didn't go to the Durupinar site (Noah's Ark) so
your claims about the soil are moot. Additionally, metal detector depth
is irrelevant to our discussion because you're suggesting that the
metal is deposited in the ground, more than one feet deep. But the
1985-6 Noah's Ark Field Survey video clearly shows that the metal is
buried close to the surface.

And core samples and test pits at the site show the ground is native rock,
with no sign of this metal.
