      ​@@tynj4173 I know it's not worth the wear on my keycaps to type out a response to this, but fine. I'll bite. There is no "hive mind", as convenient of a straw man as that would be for dowsers and whatever persecution complex they suffer from. The far simpler reality is that a lot of people understand that a phenomenon only supported by anecdotal evidence, with not a single controlled study in support of it and many, many pieces of evidence against it, is at best not worth their time and at worst a blatant lie. It's equivalent to saying that smoking tobacco extends one's life because their aunt smoked every day of her life and she lived to be 90 - ignoring the 480,000+ people a year in the US alone who die from smoking-related ailments and decades of evidence to the contrary. Anecdotes. Aren't. Evidence. I don't believe in dowsing not because I am "unable to explain it" (I can, it's ideomotor response, confirmation bias, and perhaps conscious or subconscious expertise), I don't believe in dowsing because there's no evidence to support it. It's not our personal lack of ability to explain - it's that the explanation dowsers want DOES NOT EXIST. Believing things that have no explanation is not and should not ever be the default. If a rigorous explanation for dowsing arises - one that doesn't crumble under the tiniest bit of serious scrutiny, supported by well-documented, well-controlled experiments of sufficient scale - I will have no choice but to and no issue with changing my mind. Until then, I will continue to feel secure in using other methods to find my water.

    I work in surveying and we use ground penetrating radars and radiodetectoion to find utilities... those rods do nothing lol
    also Fiber comms lines are a pain in the ass to trace because they're non-conductive

      Oh you silly thing! Everyone knows you must use bronze plated magnesium rods to detect Fiber.

    The magnet one at 4:50 was interesting. I did something similar when I was in high school except the disc was above the magnet and was tilted. I couldn't make it spin continuously like in the video though.

    I agree with Mehdi.
    Hiding the number of dislikes is one of the dumbest things RUclips decided to do.

    I know the water dousing thing seems fake however I have tried it myself and something is happening. I bent the rods on the end where I was holding them so I could hold them steady and they still moved. I've seen people do it with a Y shaped branch from a tree. I don't know what the process is or how well it works all I know is something is happening and it isn't BS. I did it will a pair of uncoated brazing rods.
