.........My experience has been with piping only....~Scotty

Ditto. I tried everything and had nothing to lose when I tried it. I was amazed at how well it worked and could not care less if anyone else believes it or not.

I'm "Way. way, way,-late" to this 'dance', and fully admit that I've only read about 50 of the first post replys, but I wanted to throw this out there........I've been in the Natural Gas business for some 45+ years. We've had times where we've had to locate plastic gas lines that had no tracer wire. A couple of my employees, and myself included had awesome success with two copper coated 1/8" gas welding rods bent "L" shaped. Typically 6"x18". I hold the rods loosely in my hands. No sleeves, just a loose grip, hands together, pointed straight ahead. It's always been my experience, that as I crossed the 'line' the rods would separate as I crossed the pipe, one right, one left. Now, that said I have no evidence that that action was tracing the pipe, or the 'Cut' of the trench that the pipe was placed in! I also know that I and some of my employees, can do this, while others cannot. Body 'Chemistry'(?) I don't know.......... I have no 'scientific' explaination, but it's worked repeatedly for us! ~Scotty

PS If this has been covered.......please point me to the 'Post' Number. Tnx! ~S

PSS I have absolutely no knowledge of "Water-Dowseing" however I had a (Now deceased) employee tell me that his Dad could take a 'forked' fruit branch, (Apple, Pear) and when he crossed a vein, it would "roll the bark off in his hands"! Never have seen it, No further comment! ~S

Hello Scotty 370,good to hear of your experiances using the same method with success that I use. Go back to my earlier posts agreeing with RippySkippy,numbers 22 and 30. You will find some want to sway our method of finding underground pipes somehow into witching for water with a forked stick.I have said they are two different discussions .

Thanks Earl, Like I said "Don't know how it works, but it has for me"....

I would surely love to watch you work the system with known pipe or water locations, but it might not work if I am close by.

I am impressed with people that can do what they say they can do, and if I saw you find the items discussed, I would be a witness and tell everyone about your abilities forever.

I use bent metal rods (any kind, spring steel, coat hangers welding rods) Over the decades I have used them to find buried pipes full or empty, electric and phone lines, gas lines. I do not know why it works but it does and it is a bit scary and humbling. I would never take money for this it just seems unwise. All three of my kids can do this. Some people get no response. The rods cross parallel to a pipe or wire for instance. With most people the rods cross each other inward a few people have the rods go the opposite way (out)

What would entice you to demonstrate your ability? I've offered money, but will consider other forms of reward.

What do they call people that talk to sticks, bent wire, and pendulums? If those sticks, wire , ever answer back, you be in big trouble.

Trees sway in the wind, but there is a reason, and you don't even have to ask which way is the wind coming from.

Can anybody believe this stuff below?
