Dowsing, Devining, 'Witching' for Water

[k0ua]

Dangle $1,000,000 out there and see what happens, the research has started !!!

I say go for the mega-buck!

I find it very intriguing to hear that it works for some people and not others. . .

BTDT.

About 4 years ago, I was over at my cousin's farm. He had a driller coming to drill a new water well. He took his witching rods and "found" the water. Repeated it from different directions. It was easy for him. Now, his brother was there, and he couldn't do it. However, his son (landowner's nephew) did it the first time he had ever tried it! I tried several times, but it didn't work for me either. When the driller arrived, my cousin told him to drill the new well at the spot he had marked. Hit a really good vein of water.

Both my dad, and grandfather could do it, but I never could. Go figure.

I can't explain it, but I've seen it work, time and time again.

The scientific explanation is most interesting and laughable at the same time. Reminds me of one of those swamp gas explanations for UFOs. Some people apparently use only apple branches which (I would think) can't compare to a highly conductive rod. Plus the targets are often so different and have totally differing electrical qualities, so I say NAY to the scientific and more likely to the SPOOKY notions!

Years ago I put a high end I Com VHF radio on my boat and every time one of the guys that fished with touched the mic it would switch to channel 16,with others it was fine.This same guy could only use a certain brand of battery powered wrist watch as the others wouldn't work. He was an equipment operator and said he always double checked the utility locators markings on a job site and pretty often found stuff they had missed.Some of us are just wired a little different and there is no explaining it scientifically.

Locating pipes in the ground with the L rods works on magnetism. It's a very slight magnetic field, but it's there. For those who know what a Schoenstadt locator is, I have used one for years to locate buried wells. I can also find buried wires that have quite a bit of amperage running through them. I can follow buried pipes because they give off different sounds from one end to the other because the magnetism is stronger at the ends than in the middle even though they are coupled together. I'm talking about galvanized pipes not plastic.

I have to say that anyone who says they can locate water in someones yard is so full of it because no matter where I drill I will have water when I'm done. And for those witches who can find water, why don't you tell us where water ISN'T so we can drill there and prove you wrong?

I've never tried but I've seen it done - and done successfully. The Public Works Dept in Anchorage, AK had a fellow that did it. I watched him many times find buried water lines and mains. They would always verify the location he found with their electronic equipment. He was always as close to the exact location as could be found with the electronics.

I've never seen anybody find a water vein for a well driller but there were several drillers in the Anchorage area that said they were around and did good.

I had a very good friend (Well Driller) who swore he could locate water with a forked stick. He would hold the stick in each hand with the y facing down and the main part of the branch pointing at a 45° upwards. He would wander around then you could see the stick start pulling down and he would twist the bark off in his hands. He was a pretty strong guy and by turning his hands inwards it appeared that the stick was being pulled down while in fact, he was doing it manually.

Try dowsing for buried gold or other precious minerals.

Go to the beach and dowse for lost coins, mark the locations and then test again with a metal detector, then dig to verify.

There may be some areas of the country where you will always 'strike' water. Here in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains that is not true. Any local well driller will tell you they cannot guarantee water. Now on the other hand if you bore 600 feet or more you're likely to hit it. In these parts that's an expensive endeavor.

You guys better not take those metal rods out in a boat, they might start spinning and lift you right off the boat.

It'e hard to believe someone believes this stuff.


Someone once told me, you just got to believe and it will work.

I even purchased some of those metal rods from a verified source and they promised me they would work if I would believe.

I really did try to believe, but alas, it was for naught.

I really don't know any body that used a special peach or apple stick and make it work.


I flew in P2's and P3 Navy aircraft for over 22 years looking for magnetic anomalies, and listening to and plotting underwater acoustics. .

The system cost thousands of dollars and worked sometimes because a large metal object would disturb the earths magnetic field, and that was based on a scientific principle. It also found wrecks and other unknowns which we could not identify.

I have looked at some of those YouTube videos and laughed till I cried at the bullshi* some of the people displayed. They could even tell if the body in the grave was male or female.
