My Grandpa was a master plumber pipe fitter started when he was 16 and continued well into his 80s.. I remember watching him take two bent coat hangers and walk around until they cross.. wherever they would cross there would be water... I even remember watching him find unmarked water lines..he would dig them up and they would be right there.....believe what you want to believe, but I've seen it with my own eyes
@@alyasfukename3355 It's not real. there is ground water everywhere. And if you could get a magnetic field from water in a pipe standing still, we would have free energy across the entire globe.
@@Connection-Lost It is real. I went into it as a skeptic and experienced the pull. Back and forth over a hot spot and there was no mistaking what I was experiencing. I was not able to test it with an actual well, but the phenomenon is very real. Thanks to YTer for taking the risk and drilling, and showing there's truth to it. When the time comes for me to replace my 30 yo well I will definitely rely on a dowser before an engineer and their witchcraft.
My dad was a telephone lineman for Pacific Bell (later ATT) from the 80’s - early 2000’s and he and the other old engineers would use the metal rods version to find cables buried under ground that needed replacing or to map really old ones. Rods were Company issued!
Pacific bell also passed out to there workers “standardized plugs” that workers would take home and put in there wives asses since they were technically enough in length and girth to be butt plugs. But hey i guess that rod was probably an anal plug retriever if it gets too deep.
Two old timers dowsed the well at our house when I was a kid. The first came in dowsed, picked up a strong stream, and my dad marked it with a small pebble. The second guy came, dowsed, and he came to the exact same place as did the prior gentleman. The well was drilled, the drillers hit water at 103 feet, and they drilled down to 120 feet. The problem that we ever had was (years later in a very wet season), sand began to leak into the well, and it was starting to stop up our jet pump. We changed it to a submersible pump, and we decided to pump it clear to the bottom to clean out any sand in the bottom, and we could not pump it dry. We were pumping about 25 to 30 gallons per minute.
The mind is also a natural dowsing rod. Me grandfather, Pat Patterson, was a witcher aka dowser for water wells. He did that for free and located many wells for people. Even though he and me grandmother was raising four children in a one bedroom house. He constructed a barn/bedrooms to the house, he painted a 50 gallon barrel put it on the roof to heat water for the family one room bath tub. If you were the oldest child then you were 1st. to take a bath. The youngest child, well, let's just say that after three kids use to the same bath water it's not the hot or warm anymore and it's a little bit dirty as well. He hunted and fished for food. I suspect that he mind dowsed for hunting, especially whenever he went fishing because he always knew where to cast the fishing rod for the best fish. He had me cast in three different areas and I always either had a very good hit or caught a nice size fish.
One thing I'd like to make very clear to those who've never used a branch to douse, and have used only the rods. The "feeling" is totally different. I've used both. The rods move but with little resistance since they are inside cylinders usually and you do not feel a downward strong force because they are designed to rotate horizontally to the ground, whereas when the branch begins to "pull" downward, it is as though a man has grabbed the end of your branch and is literally forcibly pulling it down in a STRONG way. It feels like someone or something, is physically pulling down on the branch you are holding. And pulling HARD. But there isn't anyone there! It is a crazy, unexplainable sensation.
@@craigandrew6409 I would lean more toward magnetism of some sort. Gravity is theory that applies to heavy objects but leaves a butterfly to flutter...he's referring to a strong forceful pull..
Yeah! So crazy! Almost fake it's so crazy! Stop guys a stick won't find water 160' deep in the ground. It's silly, it's preposterous. I know so many of you have completely and totally bought into it but the reality it ground water is everywhere. They don't know how much or how deep.... hmmm... so pretty much yeah you can just slap a spot anywhere and start drilling. You might hit water at 15' you might hit it at 2000' we don't know. But we definitely know there is at least 3 gallons of water right here in this spot. Lol I can't believe the crazy shit some of yall fall for!
@@craigandrew6409 if gravity all of a sudden started PULLING something down when it didn't just a secondary ago.....what would that mean?? Extra gravity lol
My great uncle showed me & he was really good. Every person I've shown can do it, but the severity of the pull changes with ppl. This is the best one I've seen. The wood is best.
lol yeah its total BS. drill anywhere you will hit water just a matter of how deep. buddy works for Arcadia drilling and they dont use witches at all and have never not hit water
I think a better 'real test' would be to have a dowser come in AFTER they find 'no water', dowse a spot, drill and find water. It's a test that I have seen conducted...and passed. The dowser put the driller into water within 60' of the surface after the driller had drilled three other spots to as much as 200'; the driller didn't pass through water at 60' on the way down either.
:}} that's funny drill two wells, one where they say it's the best spot and one where they say there is very little or no water. both wells will produce the same amount of water because science :}
My grandpa witched for water is what we called it. He was born back in 1915. That is how they did it back then and the best way to do it today. He was very successful on many farm wells and house wells to and garden wells!!!
Not sure about the area you're referring to but in a lot of areas, especially in the hills where I live there can be great water in one spot and bone dry at twice the depth a few yards away. Know of a specific situation where they used a driller that always just went for the lowest spot on the property, in this case a substantial ravine. After about 400' they ended up with a trickle. A couple years later they decided to try again. Same driller with the same philosophy, just a 100 yards or so further up the ravine - same nearly dead result. They lived on that land for several years using holding tanks that they'd pump their trickle into until they finally got sick of that situation so they tried one more time. Different driller who strongly encouraged them to let them bring their dowser guy out and walk their entire 20 acres. He located a spot at the very highest point - a hill - on their property. They were very skeptical, but the guy felt very strongly about it. Whereas in the ravine - he got no readings. So they bit the bullet and drilled where he pin pointed on top of the hill. They hit nearly 20 gal/min at only about 200'. There definitely was not a large aquifer flowing underground all at the same level. They hit a vein thanks to their dowser. I've asked drilling crew members and they told me they've seen crazy spots where their dowser has pointed out that you'd never guess by looking at the terrain would hit, but they do.
@@admjlw Yup, Same experience for me. My Uncle taught me how to do this plus tell how much water and how deep using wire. I had located my well and another for a co worker and hit depth and GPM on both. I did one for another friend and heard they didnt find any water. Years later I asked him about it and he said that they had in fact got water where I said. His first driller wouldn't drill where I said the water was so they got a dry hole, then he went to a different spot and got dry hole. He then hired a different driller and he made him drill where I said and Bingo! I dont believe its witch craft, just a gift from God to help mankind. Not claiming I have any special connection, Its just something thats there.
I saw it the first time when I was about 12 years old. An old timer used slip joint pliers and stuck a wooden stake in the ground. He went back to his car and came back with a copper brazing rod. He stood over the stake line he was holding a fishing rod. It started bobbing and he counted and said we would hit water at 60’ but it wasn’t a good vein. He said drill to 130’ for good water. He was within 5’ on both.
My grandfather also helped people find wells around Northfield , Nanaimo B.C. on Vancouver Island. My dad told me the story one family friend named Art Brownlie who asked for my grandfathers help. My grandfather made a decision on which spot he considered the best place to dig. The men dug down a fair way and nothing, they stopped to eat lunch and when they returned the well was very full. The only retrieved the ladder, any tools left at the bottom were there for good. Ha Ha! My dad said grandfather Alfred could hold the dowsing switch as tight as could and he would end up with a blister. My dad isn't able to dowse but I am. I haven't done it for years though.
My father was the same way he could hold the stick so tight it would twist the bark off... He dug in an area where everyone else was drilling dry wells.. not only that he ran the well solid for 4 days straight to fill the swimming pool... He figured that if that didn't dry up the well nothing would.
@@michaelcohen9363 idk man, my coworker doused a 50gpm well at 140ft recently. I'm not fully convinced it's legit, but I'm also not convinced it's a scam. Some people just do weird shit consistently without any scientific evidence to back it up.
@@TrueBolt18 There's always tell-tale signs of underground water. Anywhere near a large tree, areas where there's lots of vegetation but not much else surrounding it, low-points in the ground, etc... He would've found water if he spun around 3 times and pointed somewhere at the ground too... There's a reason why every single scientific test debunks dousing/water witching... it's because it's a guessing game. If you dig deep enough there's literally water under any ground lol
I think a better test to prove if this works or not would be to drill a well where the rod did not show water to be and see if they find water or not. My dad did this, water witching, in East Orange county, Florida, about 50 years ago before having a 4-in well put down about 160 ft. He believed it was true and I tried it and tried it and never was able to get any feeling from it. Fifteen years later,I moved 13 mi away, to the east to build my home. I picked the spot and told the well driller to put it there. He hit fairly decent water several times on the way down. He went down 160 ft and said he found some good water but hit the limestone and decided to drill another 40 or 50 ft. I get lots of water. I have a hand dug well down 18 ft and I get lots of water. I live in Orange county Florida and we live over top of the Floridian aquifer. I think my Dad could have dug anywhere on his property and found water.
THis is exactly it. Aquifers are huge and basically everywhere. There are very few places where u won't find water by digging a reasonable depth. The depth u have to dig only changes by centimeters if you move a kilometer.
The only thing that gets me is some people call in a water witch to find leaks in pipes and they seem to be more accurate than not. I just can't explain that.
@@MagnificentXXBastardobviously your nether a well driller nor a geologist. On other hand I'm a third generation driller retired now. Geology changes greatly depending on the area your talking about. The area mentioned at top of this thread your statement would be correct. However that pretty much is isolated to the Florida peninsula. As it's limestone mostly covered with sand from ancient sea. Where I am in the mountains geology is as up and down as the mountains are with volcanic dykes and geothermal springs that have caused uplifting. Water can be very hit or miss and dowsing has proven to be a cheap asset to find water. Technology offers a solution that is more accurate but also expensive where underground radar can be used to find water. I been dowsing since a teenager I can count finger on one hand the times missed and that was only because they were very dry areas where water was hard to get. The land owners chose to take the risk .
You are very correct it doesn’t work for everyone but it does work, I have been done it for a long time here in the USA and back home in Mexico I use the L shape rods, cheap way to find any water source
My Great Grandfather was a dowser. I saw him do amazing things He was drowsing for years he could tell you how far down to drill by the pull of the branch.
No need for a branch, just look at the groundwater table map. this is the dumbest shit ever, the groundwater level only changes by a couple centimeters over a hundred meter overland distance.
I have a neighbor who wants to take about 0.8 acres of our land through adverse possession. One of their tactics is to hide their plastic gutter downspout drain extensions which were buried 12 years go by their original house owner under their lawn and onto our property which was unoccupied at the time. I realized it after watching their pattern of behavior, always walking on my land and looking for something in the same places. Then one early morning we caught the lady escorting a contractor to the property line and him sneaking around in the woods on our land. I went out and found a dug out plastic pipe exiting into our stream from the direction of their house. Then I found another one of their buried pipes by focusing on other locations they spent a lot of time looking around and just poking in the ground with a trowel. It was easy -- I found it in about 30 minutes. But now I want to know if they have any more so they can't file a quiet tile claim against us for another buried pipe which they may not even know the location of -- because the courts are screwy and may just award them title for a pipe they don't even know about. So I got two wire coat hangers and dowsed my own yard near my house where I know the location of all my buried downspout pipes are my foundation tile drain pipe. It worked. I held two cut wire hangers -- one in each hand so they are at a right angle, and walked slowly and one of them jumped a little but the other one would go haywire just before I got to the buried plastic pipe that likely had little water in it because we have had a drought. I have no idea how or why it works but it does work using a wire hanger for me. Now I am going to go find the neighbor's other pipes -- if they have them. And I will videotape my actions so the court will know how I found them and that they were not otherwise visible and that it works -- so if I dont find one, I'll know with a great likelihood that there isnt one.
@@shawnsg That is not correct. No adverse possession law in any state gets into any specifics except for NY's modified law which does thankfully for the citizens of NY specifies that many specific activities are permissive in nature which makes them non-threatening. But for the rest of the states you have to read the case law to see how the circuit and appeals courts see certain actions and there have been cases in my state where title was determined by the placement and maintenance of a buried drain pipe. Jus google drainage pipe and adverse possession and you'll find articles and some case law that shows this.
When I was 9. Yrs old we had a mam come to withh a well and it worked where we were building a house. We had a well dug where the stick pointed and hit water 30 ft down. Dad said this was how everyone found their wells. I remember I was amazed by it.
@@eielson1978 he is saying you can drill anywhere basically. The depth you have to drill won't change much in a few hundred foot distance because groundwater, like normal water, tends to level out.
When I was taught how to Douse for Water I was AMAZED at the fact that I was holding that branch as tight as I possibly Could and there was a point in time that I could hear the Branch "Creaking" in my hand as it turned down to point at the ground. I COULD NOT stop it from turning. We have a Filled In Well in our yard. I cut a forked branch and Walked the Yard. Then I Taught my Wife and she got the Very Same Results walking the yard that I did and she was convinced that this Really Works. In the video I think that they were walking a bit fast for me.
Right!? I have the same experience you can't hold hard enough to stop it pointing down even when holding like that! So odd there is very few places with explanation on how this happens
@@krzysztof6123 No idea if that could happen. I just know from my own experience that this is a real phenomenon of the twig twisting itself when walking over certain areas. I can't prove what causes it, if it is or isn't moving water I don't know.
I worked in the scientific world all my working life as a scientist in Silicon Valley. I'm now retired, on 5 acres where we built a house. I became curious about dowsing, discarding all the weird stuff about magic crystals and zeroed in on copper dowsing rods with a copper handle. So my local hardware store had 3/16" copper grounding rod and 3/8" copper tube and that's what I made my experiment with. I bent the rod so I had 6" handles and 18" horizontal bits. Then, without any expectation of any result I walked over my land and I was astonished to find that the rods swept outwards when I walked over where I had water lines, propane lines and septic lines. I got a set of flags which irrigation guys use to set out a line of pipe from Home Depot. Then as I walked the lines I planted a flag about every 10'. They were more or less in a straight line following the underground pipe. I experimented with and without gloves, I got no result with gloves and did get a result without gloves on the same place. I also placed a very strong magnet on the ground where I had got a deflection and it had no effect on the rods. I used one of those magnets on a rod that people use to pick up nails and similar large metal bits. I conclude that this phenomena is not electromagnetic nor is it due to the earths natural magnetic fields. I found that it does not need water in the pipe. I also concluded that the phenomena is from the human body, the rods are simply indicators. How and why does it work? I'm working on it...!!!
Hi Doc, I was a a drain cleaner for 20 years then plumber. I liked cleaning drains. Professionally when you have the proper tools its really not bad. I've cleaned over 40,000. Had a farmer call me out to the boonies one day. He met me at the edge of what looked like Lake Erie, I was located in central Ohio. He told me, looking out over this never ending body of water, that a group of trees every bit a mile out had 6 feet of water under them. Then we drove down the road about a half mile and pulled into a farm house driveway. He had a track hoe and a hole 15 to 20 feet deep. He said, "if you run your cable about 50 feet up that pipe you should hit something and get that water moving." Well I'm thinking I can run a hundred or a hundred and fifty feet up the 6 inch field tile but it was 3 thousand feet to the water. Okay, lets give it a try. I set up some 2" pvc pipes to run the cable thru and started up the tile. 50 feet I hit a spot and before long water started flowing. "Damn," a few more minutes and the stoppage was cleaned up. (Probably roots) The guy was so happy as he slapped me on the back and said the water should be gone by next week. I thought maybe 6 months but kept my opinion to myself. Anyway, he had said he and his Dad put the drain in 35 years ago so he knew where it the tile was. Well I wondered for years how he knew where the stoppage was and only dug one hole in a mile long drain 50 feet below the clog. He witched it. My old boss, I remembered, showed me years earlier using welding sticks with the flux knocked off how to locate pipes that DO NOT have fluid in them. The bigger the pipe the deeper it works. Freaking amazing. I told another story of mine at apple drains video. Look down about 25 comments to read it if you don't have anything better to do. Yea, right. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q3bR3UU6UGA.html Good luck........I think it is just some help from upstairs.
It works from witch craft bout 1500 to 2000 years ago you can watch sam and colby if u want if u dont like scary stuff dont watch them or u could watch TFIL
Glad to see I'm not the only one. You can walk over ground where the rods don't move and then trow pvc pipe down on top of same ground and walk back over and they will move. Also I've found if you hold hands close together they push apart from each other and if you hold your hands shoulder width apart they pull to center.
Yes My dad when I was a boy had a man come out to our new site for our new home that my dad built. (Carpenter) The buy used a "Y" branch from some special kind of tree and he held it so that the two branches were touching one on each palm. He walked around the property and I watched him. That "Y" branch started to spin in a clockwise movement and he said right here it was spinning faster and faster until he stopped it. It was pulling on his hands. He tested that area twice and said at 150 ft. you will have 10 gallons of water per minute. Well turns out that man was right., and we had the best water because we were not in the city we were 10 miles out of the city limits. I was so amazed. Glad it worked out for you too. thanks for sharing this.
that's because wherever you dig you'll definitely find it. its only a matter of time of how long and how deep it'll take before hitting it. in our farm, we dug two wells already without the the help of any dowsers, we just dug randomly and we hit it.
@@alaskaeyes3571 I promise you that dowsing doesn't work any better than just guessing. There are VERY few places in the world where there is no groundwater. If there is a groundwater table, it will be pretty even and digging 100ft left or right of a spot wont change much, because water always finds its level.
When I was a kid my dad's friend, an old timer who was a plumber and well driller made a believer out of me. He did his own dowsing and swore he'd never dug an unsuccessful well. He did it with two L - shaped pieces of coat hanger...he marched around the yard and and they turned inward in certain spots. My dad tried it...nada. I tried it next and they moved in the same spots as for Mr. Burleson. Just like with this guy.
Had the experience when my supervisor was looking for electrical conduit in an area of field we had to dig at a school! He used #10 solid copper wire and he told us to dig where they crossed so we could know what direction the pipes were going. We dug and I became a believer that day!!
3 things - your supervisor may very well have installed that previously. - any electrician can quickly identify where a conduit or conductors travel using a tracer - I can look at most jobs I do and guess exactly where the conduit will run by looking at sources, fixtures, poles ... there are too many context clues.
I dowse for many things... water is just one! I have found keys, glasses, cords... you name it. It largely has to do with connecting with a vibration / item... picturing it... and then having the faith that you can and will find whatever it is you seek. Not everyone can do this... but I think with practice... anything is possible! Great Video ty!
I witnessed how accurate witching can be. In 1979 I was a Grade Foreman for a construction company. Before we excavated we had to know where all the underground pipes were. The last guy that came took out this bent wires and told me where the hydro lines. I asked him to show me where the rest were as I already knew where they were. %100 accuracy
When i was a kid (in the 80's) I used these sticks to find water and farm drainage tile. They worked 99% of the time for me. I knew where the tile was after we found it. Everytime I walked over it the rods spread apart.
I did it at school finding main pipes on the property. And at break time, what school bag on the ground had drinks in them. And I plotted the water main to the house after it split as a child.
So because consciousness can't be explained by science, that makes this pseudoscience of magic water sticks believable to you? How many Trump voters are on this thing? Jesus Christ! Humanity is doomed with this many idiots wandering around.
According to "the sticks" there was ... no water ... no water ... no water ... no water ... WATER ! According to the Dowsing lore, does that mean that all those places where the sticks were pointing UP there was NO water there? If you dug a well where the sticks were pointing up -- 10 or 20 feet away from the successful well-head -- the well would strike no water??? If I see THAT, a dry well 20 feet from the wet well, maybe then I'll believe in Dowsing. Also, I note that the dowsing point is near a small ditch. When it rains, the flow of water down a hill carves that ditch and that ground carries more water runoff than other parts of the hill that have no gullies or ditches. Some of that gathered/concentrated water in the ditch will sink into the ground and so it is likely more underground water will be found near (under) the ditch. For that you don't need a dowsing rod, you only need eyes. My house is in a narrow valley with a year-round vigorous stream. Hundreds of springs create the stream. I'll bet I could dig a well anywhere in the valley and hit water. A dowsing rod would never point to the sky.
I've used witching sticks to locate water lines when digging holes to set new powerline poles. An old Mexican dude taught me when I was a groundhand, and it's never failed in the 7 years I've been doing it.
It does work for me. It was my first one and I bought the copper ones on Amazon. The day it came I asked it to show me a yes answer and it crossed quite quickly and opened wide for no.. maybe was pointing to my right side. It works for me 😊
That first 5 mins reproduced my experience as a young boy exactly. One of the neighborhood kids had a thin forked branched and was demonstrating this in his front yard to a whole gaggle of kids. I'd say maybe half of us could do it and the other half, not. It worked for me. No idea why, but I recall the strangest sensation as the stick began to point down. It felt like it was being pulled down by an attachment to some spot on the ground, as though a string was tied to the tip of the twig and was being pulled down to a spot on the ground. Then, as you'd back up a step slowly, the force pulling the tip of the twig downward would relent, and it would elevate again. Forward, pull down, backward up. I could stand in position and rock forward and backward and watch the tip of the branch pull down and come up, pull down and come up. That is how precise and sensitive this was for me as a 10 year old. There was a very definite, palpable force pulling on the forked branch (very thin). NO WAY was I subconsciously moving the branch. The force was not weak! It was substantial. I think using the two metal rods may be much easier to introduce artifact by accidentally subconsciously moving your wrist ever so slightly, since those types of rods seem much more sensitive to wrist position and movement, but a full-sized cut wooden forked twig is far more resistant to movement by tiny inadvertent movements of the wrist. I would postulate that metal rods sitting inside very slippery sleeves would be the easiest to accidentally move.
@@michaelcohen9363 Might be for sure. I wonder if anyone has ever done a really good, well-controlled experiment to see if water is found more frequently than by simple chance? Some people say the rod or the branch moves for them and other people say it doesn’t do a thing in their hands. Two science degrees later and I haven’t the foggiest idea how a wooden twig produced a force against my hand but it did. Whether it was moving over something deposited in the ground or water, or some kind of other field, is a whole different question but I have no idea on that either because we were kids and dig anything. Just walked around the yard amazed that the stick was curling down on its own sometimes. But no doubt there have been people who used it to scam others.
@@centerice I have no idea why it works other than we do have metals in our body and there is a thing such as grounding when we walk barefoot on the ground so I could see there being some magnetics working there. But anyways my friend during a major drought here in South Carolina had their well dry up everyone's well was drying up this was probably about 14 years ago maybe. Anyway they had some Amish people come out that do the water dosing. They walked all over the yard I believe they were using a metal rods and they found a spot right next to the well almost that had dried up and said this is the main area of water. You're well just needed to be moved over a little bit from where it was placed. They dug that well that day hit water and it's never dried up in these 14 years whereas the other one has remained dry. It's no wonder that things work for some people and not others we are different chemical compositions a little more of this a little more of that for each person. That's why some things are toxic to some people and not to others
I use L-rods I made from spring steel. No copper handles. I’ve not only found water for wells but found lost septic systems. I set 3-5 flags in a row, not just one. That way I find running water. I personally believe it is electromagnetic fields where water passes through the earth through the channels of water.
I found water for a guy and the driller he hired missed on two holes cause he wouldn't drill where I said, he hired another driller and not only found the water but the depth and GPM I predicted. Certainly not scientific but in my experience Im 3 for 3, and a random driller was 0 for 2.
I totally agree with you, indeed it does work with some people not with others, it doesn't work with me either but I had an old uncle who can point exactly at the point he can tell how deep you need to drill and can tell if the water is sweet or salt, I witnessed him doing this tens of times and he was all the time right. I have no explanation but as you know science does explain very few things on earth, many many things we still witness and we don't know the "how or why".
True Dowsing follows the rules of metaphysics, physics & quantum physics combined in Synergy/coupled. The biggest difficulty for Dowsers is POLARITY. I was fortunate enough to be a Metallurgist and understand the nuclear spin and polarity of the elements. For example Silver is South polarity whereas Gold is North polarity and all of the 80 plus elements have a magnetic polarity and send out a vibration/signal even without stimulation. What often happens is that a gold treasure signal gets warped and travels away from the actual target and fooling the dowser. So you have a gold target and gold is North polarity and nearby is a large deposit of clay (which is usually South polarity) and opposites attract, so the clay pulls the gold signal into itself even hundreds of feet away at times. On the other hand Silver is South polarity and so is clay (usually) and Same/Polarity repels each other, so the clay pushes the silver signal off of the actual target anywhere from 20 feet to hundreds of feet, again fooling the dowser. Water at 50 degrees F is South polarity and the water/fluid in your body at a much higher temperature is North polarity and voluminous. So then when dowsing for water works really good because their is a natural attraction there. Cordially, Robert
Thats a very interesting and insightful explanation that actually makes a lot of sense to me......Ive been dowsing and drilling for over 35 years...see my "water bore drilling tutorial" on my channel......I can dowse water in my sleep but gold lol thats why I'm still drilling after 35 years
My husband has witched for allot of people & always gives his best guess at depth & gallons per minute its amazing how close his guesses are when well is drilled = it don’t work for me but I’m scared cuz i don’t want to feel a ghost thing = are daughter has never tried to witch BUT all threw school her brain just sees the math answers from first grade all the way threw to collage = she’s really bad at showing her math work & says it’s dumb cuz once you know the right answer that’s all that’s needed NOW from your video I’m wondering if this is a genetic skill cuz my husband can’t just see math answers but he’s real good at how deep & how much water before paying a drilling company 🤔
I think the water creates a frictional charge as it runs through the rock. It’s a very weak charge. Witchers I have run into are very sensitive to electrical current. I am mildly sensitive, it works if they have the other end of the stick or rod. The last time I drilled a well I had 6 different withers come out. 4 got a hit where we drilled. All but one used copper rods. Copper is a very good conductor of electricity. Got a great well in hard rock, water runs in veins in hard rock.
Back in the 1970's , with all that hippie metaphysical ESP chit, I was little kid, and I tried dousing with both a Y-stick and two L-bent coat hangers. The coat hangers really worked . The Y's were a little more "iffy" 50 years later, I do have a underground spring in my yard(I estimate about 5-10 feet underground), but I have yet to put a well(handpump) in. My land sits on top of a 130' clay hill. I will try to dowse to locate the closest spot , If I get around to it. Been meaning to for years , but I got disabled from a car crash, so I haven't been able to do things I meant to do years ago.
In NC I've seen ppl use L-rods to find water lines numerous times. City workers as well, they do it on a daily basis. I can't believe this is a questionable thing when folks use it on the job, yes, it works.
I helped drill water wells for three years. The owner of the company believed in dowsing. From my experience we usually hit water just about anywhere we drilled. Many times we drilled on small lots with only one place to put well (to stay away from septic systems and neighboring systems). And yes, we normally got water. The real question is, How deep is the water. It could literally be beyond the capability of a 1100' drill rig(T3W for all those well drillers). In the three years I worked there (approximately 250 wells), we drilled 1 dry hole 1100' deep. We did drill many low producing wells with 1/2 gallon per minute, but when considering 1.5 gallon per foot water storage, that's a great deal of water at 400' deep. The more I worked there, the more I realized I knew nothing about where the water is. I'm not saying dowsing doesn't work. Just my observation.
As a kid growing up in rural Oregon in the 60s, I can remember our Nieghbors helping folks find water. It was only Grand Ma Martella, who was the expert. We had two viens of water in our valley. The one around 135 feet was okay. But the deeper one at around 175 foot depth was better. It was only 78 yr old Grand Mother Martella whom could distinguish between the two. Later her granddaughter Found She had the Gift too. The Martella family had immigrated to America from Finland. It was part of their Finish belief that certain Woman had the best abilities to water witch. Anyone know more about this ?
Watch the heels of these folk. Ask them to work over a firm surface. One could also compare their results with values of softness/hardness with a cone penetrometer.
I've accurately discovered and determined the path of water lines underneath concrete floors. With no prior knowledge or guidance, I've marked a path and then had a plumber come in to confirm that my marks were consistent with where he had installed the line.
Theres a huge difference in the water table and a flowing aquafir or an undergroung flowing creek . This does work well and if you can find a spot where two of these cross each other all the better
Let me tell you the easiest way to find water underground. Go to any base of a mountain and they'll be water. In my Village there are Borehole taps every 1KM because it's located in a topology where mountains north and south of it collectively guide water down.
Thats how both my wells were drilled using dousing. The guy that did it has moved on. Just fixed the cistrine it was decommissioned and they cut the casing so it was taking water on for 20 years. finally got a sink hole bc the concrete on top moved with the earth.
Well, I guess it was a bit of silly fun but you proved nothing due to the experiment design. Specifically you haven't shown that it wasn't just luck and more importantly (and likely) Drilling anywhere along that downward slop would have gotten water in spite of what the dowsing predicted.
I don't doubt they work, I've seen it used finding water lines. However here in my area, pretty much anywhere you drill you will hit water, but an old timer used to use this, he always found water in the shade in summer, and in the sun in winter. As I said I believe it works for some, and is needed in some areas
@@markp8295 obviously its bullshit lol but i think he means water lines, not pipes. an old superstition that groundwater exists in subterranean streams or lines.
I dowse, but I use rods. Rods seem to be the only reliable way for me to dowse. I tried dowsing with the “forked stick” method, but I never felt comfortable with the results. I have also tried using a pendulum, but I never felt comfortable with that method, either. When I use rods and think about that for which I am searching, the rods work best for me. If you are not able to get a stick to work for you, I always tell people to try the rods. Whatever works for you is the best way. If you are working and learning under an experienced dowser and the dowsing is not working for you, get the dowser to lay hand upon your shoulder, say a blessing to the Lord for the gift, and I will say (more often than not) that it will begin to work for you…I’ve seen it happen. I believe that dowsing is a gift from the Good Lord, and it is given to help mankind. There is no “witchcraft” to the practice.
They call it a water table. If you are paying the guy just ask him if he could do it blind folded. Should have no problem getting a hit on the same location twice.
The, "control" would have been to blindfold the guy. If he hit around the same spot every time you'd have less doubters. That said I always thought dowsing was real until I came upon many videos (watching flat earth videos), about the things people still somehow believe.
@@hamishsmith6077 Nah because his intent was still to drill a well. He'd be wasting money if he drilled outside of the spot that was found. Plus a few feet probably wouldn't make that much of a difference. I get what you mean though. If you are skeptical you are assuming he probably could have drilled anywhere and found water XD.
I believe it to be a gift that should be used to help people. Must have something to do with electro magnetic forces. I use it in the desert country I live in to find water. In granite, you can be off 2 meters and not find water, so you have to be very precise.
Do some of you not realize that especially in hilly areas, aquifers and geology can vary vastly within small distances? Me and 2 workers tried this for the first time this morning at my shop and we all had the same result
Works for me, not my brother. It still blows my mind. I have no idea why it works. The stick comes to life. You can't stop it from moving once it animates.
I have done for years. I am more accurate than any locator. Can do plastic, pipe, wires, metal pipe, also can locate bodies burried and tell you if male or female. Nobody knows how it works, but it does. The witcher could count off depths and flow rates with rods if he wanted to.
Could you recommend me where I can get a good per of them water dowsing rods also I'm assuming you can't tell how deep the water will be can you??? In the area I wanna dig water, water is found about 150 meters on average which is too deep and cost alot over here.
@@ahmedadam8851 If you can douse you can tell how deep. Simply establish yes or no, then count off feet. 5,10,15. When you get to correct depth you will get a yes. Take a bit of practice. Mainly takes a bit for you to believe it works. Go slow. If not sure touch rods to ground to reset and start over. I just use metal gas welding rods. Bend the 6 inches at end to L shape.
in this video you said at .55 you didn't know how deep the water is. A man witched my brother in laws well and he showed us how to tell how deep and he hit it right on the money.
Is it possible that there's just a high water table in the area where these folks happen to work? Idk, I'm just spitballing. I'm still going to try and see if it works to locate the septic drain field at my new place. Worst thing that could happen is I end up using the rods to poke into the ground and find it that way. Fun experiment, either way.
Dowsing works for everyone. You only need to quiet your mind, be present, and focus on the desire you search for. It isnt just water or lines, it can be people, an arrangement of matter (IE a sign or a fire hydrant) or even metals. The tools are just that... tools. They are an extension of you and the universe within.
@@MagnificentXXBastard Can you substantiate this or are you simply going out on a limb, and likely will respond with irony? In other words, are you well read on the history of dowsing and "water witches?" Can I trust that you know what you're talking about?
@@TheEternalClown No irony here, dowsing rods really are superstition. How do you think a simple wooden rod (or copper or whatever) can detect water? what is the mechanism? Also, I work in groundwater protection and can tell you that groundwater does not run in veins or spots, it is evenly distributed across large areas called aquifers. It matters little if you drill 20m to the left or to the right, the groundwater level will be approximately the same.
Dowsing, Divining? I have been doing this for a good share of my life as did my Uncle's before me. I have now done over 300 blind tests and am doing well with this. Usually I dowse a photo (first) from Google Earth to find the target. I dowse for precious metals, water, gems, tunnels and etc. Sometimes when I run into someone that is cynical about my detection work I offer to pull up their (with their permission of course) house on Google Earth and find & tell them where they hid their values, then I email the marked photo to them and then listen to them express their now broken apart disbelief. It has been fun shaking up "Doubting Thomas's" However it is ultimately good for them to see. I am not like my friend Ingo Swann, because I am better than he was Robert
Thank you. Was looking for some clarity on this subject and my takeaway from this is that it takes a certain kind of person that can tap into that vibration alot easier than others can. Guess you know you hired the right guy if he had little to no past mishaps? * Beautiful dog!
Chris 432T Here is what I found. Dowsing Note: written on Apr 15, 1997 "The practice of dowsing, using divining rods to locate water, is so common as to not be doubted, but no one, including the practitioner, understands how they work. Some humans can douse, but most cannot, so its recognized to be a talent or ability within the practitioner. Dowsing works best when the dowser is allowed to walk about out in the fields and forest by him or herself, uninterrupted. When crowds follow about, they are less likely to find water, and many dowsers come unannounced at odd hours to assure themselves the privacy they require. Dowsers are called upon when all else fails. Well after well has been dug, following the geologists recommendations on the lay of the land, location of local springs, emergence of underground streams or rivers, stratification of rock layers, and success of other wells in the area. In despair, the dowser is brought in, and against all odds and against all reason they point to an unlikely place and chances are that a well placed there will be productive. What is going on during dowsing, and how does this work? An oft quoted phrase is that man is 98% water, as is all plant and animal life. Water carries electric current, if fact so effectively that lightning will race through water as well as metal wires on its way to the ground. The human body senses electrical charges in the vicinity, as the movement of electrons in all their many forms is not isolated to where the current is running. An electric current creates an electrical field around it, just as a river of water causes humidity in the air nearby. Humans are sensitive to electric current, as the higher rate of cancer in those who live near high tension wires attests. The dowser listens to what his body is telling him, a very quiet voice but a voice nonetheless. The electrical current in groundwater is stronger where the water has filled all connected air pockets that might act as insulators. This fact has been noted by geologists monitoring earthquakes, as the electrostatic bursts increase as the ground comes under pressure preceding an earthquake. Geologists recognize that this increase in electrostatic bursts is due to compression of the groundwater. The dowser is locating, with his sensitive body, those places where the groundwater has collected and accumulated, coming under pressure in that it cannot easily leave. The mystery of the divining rods is more easily understood when one understands that the divining rods are in fact the dowser's hands. The rods, extending from the dowser's hands, allow the dowser to note how his hands are reacting. They are a signal flag, helping the dowser note the whispering voice in his body that is saying "here, over here, there is a subtle pull toward an electrical current in the ground". The pull is within the electrical current in the dowser's own body, which seeks to flow in sync with the electrical current in the ground."
Dowsing works, I've had success with it. I thought anyone could do it. It takes a bit if practice, and I guess sticks work a bit differently to metal rods. My son tried and freaked out a bit, and my friend managed it too. Glad it's helped you dig a well.
Its total bs. My neighbor "doused" where a water line is. He was wrong. I spent 5 hours hand digging a pointless hole. Dousing works great in the south where there is water 15 ft down everywhere.
I have a questions... can your wife wear an electric watch or does the watch battery die quickly. I can do it and can't wear electric watches! I wonder if other "witches" are the same....
It can be done from an airplane. The rods will bend over the Mississippi in the dark at 35,000 ft. The Colorado river between CA & AZ has a watershed on the west side, but is bone dry on the east side. Again, from an airplane, the branch will drop.
You can do it from the ISS, or on the Moon, or Mars, or even across the galaxy! You can point sticks at a spot in space no matter where in the universe you are!
