I use these for plumbing to find sewer lines nearly every day. If you stomp on the ground by the time they go back to parallel, how ever many stomps you took is how many feet down the water is. So for an example six stomps its roughly six feet down
I've used the wire method before, for sewer lines also. I remember as a kid, some men cutting a branch and showing me that method. Walked up to a water hose and it just about pulled out of my hands.
Amazing! There is nothing better than some good fresh spring water. I'm curious if that technique will work everywhere? If it's rocky or desert terrain? I need to try it out. 👍
Yes it will work in the desert too. The depth of detection is less in a topical or forested area due to the moisture and carbon debri in the ground but it is deeper in the desert due to less interference. But then there is also rocks and hard pack and sedimentary deposits that interfere. { I'm not an expert, just a guy that spent some time in the woods.}
Very informative video…. definitely a great craft to perfect for sure…👍🏻 Thanks for sharing…. Stay Strong 💪🏻 my friend….‼️ FYI… one of the best examples of how important it is to have water is the Movie Sahara with Humphrey Bogart…👍🏻‼️
Yes, the longer and thicker the wire the deeper it detects. But the most accurate is silver wire. They use silver in the Mideast to detect down to 100 meters. The rods are about 6 feet long and are pulled on a cart.
damn I thought this was hocus pocus! Really interesting you can use eucalyptus, Im from australia and theres a tonne of it. Gonna give it a crack. Does it have to be a green sapling thats still alive?
Thanks Dave, I've never used eucalyptus but I've heard about it. You want to use a green branch not dried or dead. I've seen acasia branches work too. Let me know what it does - okay??
