A broad spectrum around 50 G, possibly due to Josephson oscillations, has been observed in the superconductor ${\mathrm{Y}}_{1}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7+x}$, using standard $X$- band EPR methodology. The spectrum has its tail extending to high fields and exhibiting complex oscillatory patterns such as expected from Josephson loops of sizes in the range of 0.65-0.81 \ensuremath{\mu}. The EPR method can directly and nonabrasively detect small superconducting domains and ${\mathrm{Cu}}^{2+}$ inclusions in these materials. The detection of numerous Josephson junctions naturally present in such materials open up the possibilities for building new types of superconducting quantum interference devices.
