My husband swears by this! He's even found waterlines for the plumber trying to find a leak on our property.
-
AWESOME GUYS very well illustrated. I just purchased some to locate water on my property but asked them if God hears my prayers and the answer was yes.
-
The history and explanation at 1:10 was the absolute best that has ever been shared. Very informative video and fun to watch
-
I have tried this on my Dad's land. I could feel the pull and whenever I would walk around I would get drawn back to that spot.

A sensitive douser can use his rods to find depth. The dousing rod is held by the end of the rod over the water source. It will "nod" up and down, counting out depth footage and will stop, to start moving back and forth when the stongest water channel is reached. There can be more than one channel of water at a location at different depth and the douser will find them all. Good luck!
-
It predated everything we know as history. It was the only way to find water until 20th century.
-
it works on water lines and power lines

Asked one old man known to use dowsing rods to check my property for underground water flow. He had no time so he asked me why i don't do it by myself.. What? How? He gave me 2 wires, just like some salvaged some, different size and materials alu and copper i think. It doesnt matter he told and demonstrated on house water connection. It worked the same for me and my wife. Its so freakin easy, just mindblowing that people doesnt use it more.

How accurate were they without dowsing? If you dig to the local water level you will fimd water all the time.
-
Hi, we are very curious as to the outcome after you drilled the well? Was the dowsing accurate? I cannot find a video afterwards letting folks know how it went?
-
I think it's magnetic field that makes them move. Live wires also make them cross
-
Great video, I have land & I will b doing the same thing, thank you for video it,

Dowsing has been debunked numerous times. James Randi has spent his life debunking psychics, magicians, oracles and the like. He proved that dowsing is no better than pure chance. It is certainly possible to become a very savvy outdoorsman that can take many factors into account to make an educated guess. That is the best you can hope for.

oh please! ok I'm not going for it, no way. lol, lol, lol get the moonshine out of here.🤣
-
Ok, a little critique from a long time Witcher. Never seen anyone talk to the rods, doesnt mean it cant work, but being so far off on your depth does not lend to effectiveness. What is the rate of dry wells in that area???? Many places it doesnt matter where you drill there's water. Good luck on your project and life!
-
My father used dowsing rods to find water in our 10 acre ranch. The water was 455 feet deep
-
I couldn't find a follow up video. How did it work out?
-
definitly not spinning on a globe lol!
-
The whole "x" marks the spot exactly over your well... The water table would have been in a larger area so its not like ONLY where your well was is the ONLY spot. Seems more like people just thumbing the rods.
-
Am going to try this myself
