I know how these threads go. That being said, we had a guy from dig safe come out and use a dousing rod and he was dead on where he marked them. Not sure if he forgot his real tools as it was an emergency. Not the first time I've seen it from the dig safe rep either.

Wife got mad though because they kept leading me straight to her crotch. Moistest hole within a quarter mile. |

He probably uses them at home to figure out where the wet spot is on his 600lb wife.

Yeah.......no. I had it done once in the hills of Arkansas where they KNOW SHIT and ended up with a pickaxe in the water line that was supposed to be 6' away. Fuck that shit; it was a huge shitshow for me from then on....

If the rods come out for utilities we kick them off site and tell them to send someone else. Two gas lines and one power line in a year was enough. |

I did this with coat hangers when we were drilling a well. Me and the guy working with me got the same results in multiple spots. My helper's son stopped by and we used him for a blind test, he hit the same spots we did not knowing our results. We hit good water at 70 feet.
I think there is something to this. |

You can punch a hole just about anywhere in Texas and hit water with very few exceptions. (Southwest Texas and llano granite country) |

If you were drilling until you hit water then it was a pointless test. |

My grandpa made money during the depression doing that. I had the best well off the grid here. 90 gal per minute at less than a 100 feet down. hit a underground stream. Neighbors a quarter mile down the road went down 300 feet to get 3 gal per minute.

It was a "pointless test" in the sense that we were drilling a water well for our new home regardless. We did it for fun, and to help pick a spot close to the house. but were surprised how everyone who tried hit the exact same spots. This was in SE Oklahoma.

Nobody had EVERY proven dowsing to work in an impartial test. For years there was a million dollar reward for anyone that could prove it worked in a double blind test. It was never collected. For those that claim to successfully dowse, I'm sure you still could collect a LOT of money if you could prove it works, go for it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd like to think he wasn't looking for a gas line. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Wait...he needed sticks to tell him there's water inside watermelons? Am I getting this right? I'd like to think he wasn't looking for a gas line. Maybe he lost some super valuable piece of jewelry while planting that watermelon patch and traced every store that purchased them, after spending days going over the field with his metal detector and now, here he is...banned from several grocery chains for the metal detector usage, and forced to resort to his ancestral ways to find that goddamned Patek Grand Complications Celestial.  He curses marrying into money and tries to hide his shame by shooting disgusted faces at onlookers like yourself, knowing you'll probably snicker and take video that you'll upload and laugh about with your Tik Tok friends. Even the Chinese government workers watching the TikTok users will probably get a laugh. But, they don't know. You don't Know. You'd never believe him if he told you, so he just gets on with his work, one fucking pallet at time; Relax...don't tense up or the sticks won't work. It's just another stupid grocery store; it's gotta be in one of these... Or he was just a redneck |

I'd never done this before...My well driller came out and asked where to put the well, I said "I don't care." Out came the rods. 3 of us found the exact same spot. 2 dry holes I paid to be drilled "located" with the rods.
