Divining Rods and DCP

[_LDS truthseeker]

I haven't read the full thread and may be repeating but we can tie dowsing into Mormonism with the understanding that one of Oliver Cowdery's gifts; referred to as the gift of Aaron in d&c 8 and directly referred to as a rod in the original book of commandments, is revelations via a dowsing rod. Oliver attempted to translate using a dowsing rod.

Yes, that's exactly what the original meaning was. See here for details: http://www.mormonthink.com/rodofaaron.htm

Joseph Smith's cane symbolized the rod of Aaron.

I've joined joined this discussion way too to late. I've been making rather merry today and I don't have the energy to read all the posts. Forgive me if I'm treading on someone else's post.

At an early point in my life, I was part owner of an irrigation construction company. An old salt that ran one of our construction crews would use two bent copper wires to divine where existing pipes lay in the ground. He was almost always correct.

I never thought it was magic, just some interaction between the copper wires and some electrical or magnetic field. How do metal detectors work?

They work different ways, google who (what?) is our god can explain.
One thing is certain: they always work.
