Am I the only failing to see how the OP managed to "settle this science" with a story that didn't even involve the use of divining rods?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Then why don't you go get rich right now? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prizes_for_evidence_of_the_paranormal As far as I know, the coat hanger technique works solely on metal water pipes. I've never tried it on PVC. The biggest difficulty using this technique is finding a wire coat hanger. |

I don't know why they work, but have used bent wire to find steel water and gas lines before, and pvc water lines.r
I can't use wooden sticks, find groundwater, oil, gas, gold , diamonds or Bigfoot poop. But the wires definitely cross when passing over water and steel pipes for me. Why? Magnetic field? Forest ghost? The Debbil? No clue |

As a local telecom tech, one of my job duties is to use a fault locator to locate damaged buried service wires. One day while locating a cut drop, one end was exposed coming from the house, my locator died. Without batteries, the fault locating A frame we use to center over the fault was useless. And I wasn't going to dig a 6ft wide hole to look for the other end of the drop going to the ped. I had a general idea of the direction from the ped, so I cut 2 pieces of #10 ground wire and went to dowsing. They moved over top of the fault, so I started going perpendicular to the path and they indicated over the same spot. 3 shovel scoops over the indicated spot later and I found the rest of my cut drop.
If you think they are only used to find water, well you're wrong. |

I tracked it all the way to the street. years later I tracked my lateral lines at the house like that. I still don't believe it

I don't understand how a person can be convinced of something by just seeing it work once or twice or even 10 times. |
