Chuck ledgerwood died yesterday! Heart Attack!
@SportingDrivesinColorado29 күн бұрын
Hello, fellow viewers. I am Chuck's cousin. Today I got an unwanted phone call. I thought Chuck would want you all to know. Chuck has had a lot of health issues, Parkinson's being only one, but he was always a man, tough as nails and into the great outdoors. When any species is away and feels the end drawing near, our final mission and goal is simply to make it home. Chuck made it home. I'm afraid I don't know the details yet, but he did pull out enough power that he did make it home. I'm sorry to give you all this news, but I'm sure he'd want you to know. And as he is unable to say it, Thanks for watching!

Locate the most concentrated pockets of gold by learning the physics involved in dowsing. In the 1970's my father and I reverse engineered the physics involved in dowsing (the same physics that energizes the alarm on electronic metal detectors), and invented the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod for locating our old core-drill on the exact center of gold and silver veins that are buried under 200 feet of glacier rock and till, which worked out perfectly for us. These dowsing physics and dowsing techniques are too important to the world for myself to selfishly take to the grave, so I wrote the book for teaching the world how to apply physics in dowsing, with marketing my book at the lowest price possible so that more people can buy my book for learning how to apply physics in dowsing. My book: The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), by Michael Fercik, teaches the world all the physics involved in dowsing and how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that accurately gauges the element being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the pure one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is tapped onto the ELEVATED acetylene welding rod, which free spins on ball bearings. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading or deciphering the amount of the dowsed element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Anybody can become a professional dowser by practicing my book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious and base metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope dowsing enriches your life intellectually and financially.
