Tom Smith, I tried to get a photo of when the dowsing rods crossed.

Cathy's brother using her rods to Dows for graves.

We put flags out to mark where the rods crossed. Mine were orange and Tom's were white. Where you see two that's where we both agreed, if only one then we didn't. Either Tom found something or I did.  This is looking back towards the woods we are on the left hand side of the woods.

Another shot in the same area.
This photo I took after taking a short walk back into woods. I have one more I think I took you can see the flags better in this one looking out towards the school. Part of the ground where we have marked as a possibility of the old burial grounds will be under the new school I also took a photo of a marker that goes clear back into these woods which also has water in them by an old tree one of the oldest still left in the Woods from days gone by.

This is the last photo for this page. Leaving it this size for the affect. Make it harder & slower for other people on slow internet connection to download page but want the effect this can have. If the new school is built this woods which is just part this is how I entered these woods on this side will be a thing of the past when the newer school is built. they are in the line of fire.
