Water Witching To Find Water Lines Before Digging

- How does water witching work? Well, nobody's really sure of that. But the simple, cost-effective technique can save you a lot of time and money when you need to dig without hitting your water lines.
About 15 years ago, the water department told me I had a leak in the line running through my front yard. Yet, there was no water coming to the surface of the lawn. My father, a retired heavy equipment operator, came the next morning. We rented a small backhoe and he began digging. He was nearing 5 ft. deep in the dig when he shut down the backhoe and told me to get two metal coat hangers from the house. That was the day I learned about divining (or dowsing) rods. It turned out we weren't far from the water line. But, the dowsing rods showed the line was running at an angle, which meant we were a few feet off in the initial dig. He began digging again where the rods crossed and 15 minutes later and 7 feet deep, there was the water line. Why that line was buried 7 feet deep still boggles my mind. As a side note, my dad told me he never had any luck using dowsing rods, yet, they worked for me. We could only determine it was because my dad had more electricity running through his body than the average person. I base that on the fact that when growing up, he used to charge my watch batteries using his thumb and forefinger hundreds of times, hand to God! Incidentally, he could not wear a battery-operated watch. He shorted them out every time we purchase one for him as a Father's Day or birthday gift.
Scott, thanks for writing this story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. God bless.
Water lines are buried deep so they are below the frost depth. If you live in a tropical climate they are usually much shallower.
i had put in a request for my water company to come out and mark my water lines they never showed up so i took it upon myself to see if using this method to find water would work and holy crap it works. my 9 year old neighbor tried it and it worked for her too, if a 61 year old and a 9 year old can find water anyone can do it. thank you sir for showing how to do this. i truly appreciate it.
Back around 1980, I was 2 years into Elec Engineering school in Ohio and started a Co-op position with a pretty big power company. For this work semester, I was working in the planning department which had a lot of field work.
One day I was with an old timer planning a new service in a very rural area, basically small trees and brush. We knew there were other underground lines in the area but didn't know exactly where. He pulled out his dousing rods and pinpointed the lines. I couldn't believe it worked until I tried it. I ended up making my own set and used them regularly in that job.
I believe they work because of the "lines of flux" produced around piping/tubing that has a flow through it. I've never tried it except for these underground utilities, but I know enough not to doubt that it works.
My great grandfather water witched for wells. His divining roads had pretty short handles and a bit longer rods, and were also made of I THINK copper! I'm actually getting ready to locate them to prove a point to pretty much everyone I know? This video was perfect! Again, maybe different material rods would be more effective for well witching? Just a thought......thankyou for this!!!
Lol it works because of the law of a recession dude. It's not magic. They're wrong most of the time and sometimes not because of probability. This has been proven time and time again. But there are still fools that think their grandpa did it and the grandpa thinks it works cause he's a uneducated moron and your not much smarter for believing that quack.
Thabka for the thorough explanation/tutorial. Ill be trying this out just for fun (and informational purposes) in my property.
Thanks, gonna do this tomorrow. Don't want to plant a tree close to the water line.
Works for me
I love the feeling in the energy
I can also find metal 😊
It's crazy how this works but no one can explain it. Farmers in Botswana (Africa) use it alot and never hit a blank when digging wells/borehole. I just wish one day I find a good, valid explanation around this.
@@Skedoink I'm sorry, water doesn't make magnetic fields..
I'm not about to try and explain Witching, because I have no idea how it works at all! -but I know that if it were magnetic fields, it would've been cracked long ago
It interacts with the electrical chemistry of the body
Cool sweatshirt! I live in Dodd City too.
Su aramasını ,derinlik fark etmez..%95 Derinliğini ve debisini net ölçer söylerim.. Çubuklar keşfedilmemiş bir öçü aletidir.. Bu Jeotermal ve Petrolde'de uygulanabilir..
works,,, been using it for years
I'd heard that all my life, about the ole-timers using dowsing (water witching) on the ranches all the time.
Yea they also had cure alls and snake pil that cured cancer. U fool
Thank you!!!
I see a lot of water witching videos, but I haven't seen one where someone digs to show it is accurate, which makes me think it's not.
No professionals have been able to locate my septic lines and tank. I wonder if this for work for that purpose. Any thoughts?
Some one said to take magnesium tablets
Thank you for the video
No one can explain science says the rods are just responding to your involuntary or minimal movements but I’ve seen ppl do it and be correct also so I have no freaking idea like literally the studies says it’s BS and just random chance that they’re right but like how do you explain the guys that get it right constantly lol
Does it work on plastic water lines (pex)
No it doesn't work at all its a myth. It's all luck that they find it. The rod moves cause ppl make tiny movements with their hands that they themselves can't even feel... so they think "oh it works". It doesn't a quick Google search can teach u that its bullshit. Let's all believe some farmer instead of the MIT scientists lol
watched another video and it said yes it works on plastic but the water must be running through it, something to do with the density of the water
You are very clear, Aris from Sparta Greece💙
Dowsing Make ranting juga bisa sih, untuk keabsahan atau keakuratannya ga nyampe 50%. Make ini jg ga akurat. Lebih akurat make alat digital kata temen yg teknik sipil
All a given, But they didn't have digital abilities for hundreds of thousands of years. That's why this whole post is happening. To talk about water witching, not just looking up blueprints and calling the city out to run something digital. And because that is NOT always reliable, ive decided to horrify everyone with ol fashioned witching? #THEOLDFOLKSKNEW
Did you find them?
Must have been someone whom did it wrong and started name calling.
lol
I always thought it was a scam
wow
