There is this great story of my hometown. Whenever someone (a farmer usually) wanted/needed a well, all the neighbors got together and dug by hand (this was some decades ago mind you). But first they'd get the local dowsing guy a call, he'd say "do it here" and got payed no matter the outcome. So one farmer got fed up with the guy (some personal vendetta too) and bought a drilling rig. He basically advertised "I will drill the well where YOU WANT IT, not where the guy says". Lo and behold, it worked 100% of the time. Some needed to be deeper than others, of course, but it worked.
It amazes me that people are so dumb and think that this is real. Everyone in the comments section is telling each other how it works. But you can literally dig a well almost anywhere

@@RedBaritonePlayer Why is it so odd that you do believe something you don't understand as implausible, improbable, or even unlikely? Or to go so far as to call it magic... Could you possibly be the compendium of universally understood scientific fact, in all its forms, in all strata, throughout human history? Well done, sir. Well done... Otherwise the statements you've made would border on assumptive arrogance, in that we as a species have now arrived at complete galactic understanding. But just to be empirical for a moment, try this. Let's pretend your house is on city sewer and water service. And let's pretend you need to dig up your front yard to repair your sewer lead, 15'-20' below grade, and you don't know the location of the pipe, or your likely 1" copper water service line and stop box. Before you can dig down to the sewer lead, you have to expose the stop box, as it sits substantially higher in the trench. So, you know what you do? Like ANY other underground Excavation Contractor, you go to your truck, reach behind the seat, and grab a pair of MissDig marker flags, about 2' long. Tear off the plastic, and bend the ends just past 90 degrees, then hold lightly in your fingers, with the long end pointing the direction you are walking, with the bent 6" vertical, like a handle of sorts. Now, starting near the curb, walk across your yard parallel with the road, in a grid pattern. Within two or three passes, or about 20' into your grass, if you walk slowly, the rods pointing forward will eventually cross, in an X. Stop, and spray paint a mark. Now change your grid pattern, to come from the other direction. When the rods cross again, look down. You'll be within a couple feet, if not exactly on top of, your original mark. Repeat if you're not sure. It took much longer to explain this than it takes to actually do it. From start to finish, it takes about four fucking minutes. Seriously, man. I've been doing this shit for 30 years, over thousands and thousands of basement digs. It's the very first thing you do when you get out of the truck at the jobsite. That's invariably because the location stake is broken, buried, or missing. It's so NOT magical, as any excavator will tell you. I doubt it's a magnetic thing. My guess is ground pressure/density variation that makes the rods cross. Now keep in mind, we're not "finding wells of water" or whatever, just locating two pipes/underground cavities. But the reliability rate is near 100 percent. Like ridiculously simple, quick, and effective. Hell, go try it with a couple coat hangers, I don't care. But please remember that aviation, a superbly technical craft, is just over a century old. Have a little respect/humility for the fact that we don't know everything just yet... Especially if you've never actually done it. I've never flown to the moon, but I'm pretty sure it is possible, probable, and even likely, no matter how incredible. There are even people who say they've done it, lol.
@Where Is Waldo Magnetic fields are measurable. Try again there, Waldo. Also, supernatural in this case is just a placeholder for either something outside of nature (classic definition) or something that is within nature, but that means we can test and measure it. You should crack open a geology book and read about underground water-sheds because you seem to really not understand how groundwater is distributed.
Man I was looking at some land a month back and one guy with us claimed dowsing worked. The myth is alive and well. There's so much water in the ground, you have to be gifted to miss it.

Can confirm. I worked at a company digging water and sewer lines and it was the only way we had to find preexisting power and water lines. Worked every time within 2 feet
The water table. The water soaks into the ground and is even level everywhere under the ground. The water table. The water is the same level under the ground everywhere. You walk around with a stick and let it fall anywhere you want. The water is under there and anywhere else you choose to stop.
For those who don't know California's Central Valley (albeit wine country is outside the mountains) used to be a marsh 500 years ago. California is historically a place with rich ground water supply. One could make an argument that for dowsing in California, you have better chances. But, "Dowser Get It Wrong" is not really an interesting news story, but it would probably be a frequent one.
The thumb nail for this is a PERFECT meme for this interview: Joe excitedly watching RUclips videos while MJK waits to be asked about his final Tool project.
Energy dowsing is a REAL science -art. I use copper rods to find not only water but many other items as well. Until a person tries dowsing , they may want to try doing so themselves. You might be amazed.
Of course it works for those who aren't skeptical. It's called the idiomotor effect. My best friend was showing me one day how dowsing works while walking around his front yard with some copper wires. He was explaining electromagnetic fields being disturbed by the small void where the pipe was and the dowsing rods were so sensitive, they could react to it even through feet of soil. All the while, his cell phone was in his pocket as if the wires were sensitive enough to pick up this void feet under ground but the 1 layer of denim kept the electronic device from interfering.
@@Wellactually123 -Hopefully, more and more people will become involved in dowsing (using L-Rods, I call them energy rods.) Even after 10 years of dowsing, I still can't believe how amazing this form of energy detection is.
@@Wellactually123 I really want to see a paper explaining how this works, I would say its bull-Sh but i tried this with a stick and it moved acurrately where water was flowing to a well.
I can dowse. Was taught by an old plumber. Used it all the time in New Orleans after Katrina doing utility locates for a company that installed FEMA trailers. You can use it to find pipes that have the tracer wires broken and are fiberglass or plastic and are invisible to all other means except direct exposure by mechanical digging and probing. There's all kinds of uses for dowsing. Anybody can learn it. It's repeatable and usable anywhere.
@@sayrerowan734 there was a price pool of over 100k up for grabs for anyone who could prove that dowsing is real by james Randi foundation. For over 50 years yet no one succeeded. Hmmmmmm I wonder why.
You should have tested my Grandfather I watched him do it. Like I said weirdest thing I ever saw. It wasn’t a trick it was water 20’ft down and the well was hand dug purified with bleach before it was sealed.
Have you ever dug a well? No there isn’t. Well if you want to go down 300 ft maybe. I’m talked about artesian wells. Not drilled wells. Water is closer to the surface in some places than others. But it has to be deep enough to get fresh water. Anywhere between 20’ and 50’. One last thing there have been mines dug a mile down and guess what no water.
@@martinj1645 you're delusional look up what a water table is. If you dig deep enough nearly anywhere you will hit water. It's only a matter of how deep you need to dig. It's pure luck when a dowser hits a good spot and if you dig another well 10 feet in any direction you'll wit the same water. Do some real research there have been countless experiments for hundreds of years that have disproven it. The most prolific being in the 90s where 30 expert dowser were invited to Germany and disproven. It's just luck period. There is no scientific evidence or even reason that it would be true at all. So you're basically saying you're a grown man that believes in magic. I guess these wizards have nothing better to do with there awesome powers that defy all logic and the laws of physics themselves so they spend their time helping people dig wells.
They literally taught dowsing with coat hangers in my heavy equipment school in Ontario. This is one of the best heavy equipment schools I'm the world. Its works to find stuff without locates to just be sure you aren't going to hit something. I've done it, works with metal objects too as long as they ate long enoff.
Certainly is not, I live way north and have watched drillers punch multiple dry wells hundreds of feet deep and then have a witcher come in and hit 10+ gpm less than 100 feet
@@Wellactually123 -Matt, some utility company employees still use rods for underground locating -when in a bind. It is great to have skeptics to help others learn.
@Carl Martin look up the ADE 651. It was a dowsing bomb detector. Uninformed people like yourself who believe in magic actually used these things and got countless people killed because it doesn't actually work.
One of my grandmothers friends witched the well at my house in the 60’s with a willow switch. She even knew how far down they had to drill to get water. We still use the same well all these years later!

@@deucepickle2091 The test done by this man in Australia has been debunked by an Australian research scientist who has meticulously studied every aspect of the test and concluded it was invalid. It could not be shown to be a scientific test, and also failed to be a controlled test. There were many unsupported assumptions in the test, the result of sloppy research technique. The results were manipulated to suit this man's preconceived idea of what the results should have been. To add insult to injury, the dowsers were not tested on what they normally do which is find water in underground streams out in the paddock. They were asked to do something entirely different not related to their normal operating modality. The test completely failed to disprove that dowsing does not work.
Try drilling a well anywhere you will hit water. Fill a five gallon bucket with sand, add 10 cups of water, let it settle. Now take a straw or hose and pick any spot to go down....YOU WILL HIT WATER!
Say what you want about dowsing, I was in engineering class in school and bent two pieces of metal and walked around the class room with them and a straight line across the ground the rods turned in, later went outside and saw it was in line with a water pipe, I don't know how it works but it does, possibly something magnetic in the water and the metal. I don't think it's a supernatural thing, I think it's just something misunderstood because it seems only certain people can do it, it kind of worked for one other kid that day but over 10 of us tried.
Yes I think you are right its some kind of magnetic thing 🧲 (I believe blood type may effect this which would explain why it works better for certain people but that's just my theory ;)
So why does it need inconsistent human movements? Why cant i put dowsing rods on the front of my atv and do it 6 times faster? You're an engineer, you should just make a dowsing stand so its more accurate....

As a kid 40 years ago I watched a man advise people where to bore for water on their land with dowsing wires. At the end of this process whilst he talked to the land owner I checked out the wires he had put down .Seeing my interest he offered me a try, and sure enough they responded in the same way in my hands. He could also tell the depth at which the water was and how deep the stream was for ex 57 to 63 ,he did this with another device on a string. Yes it sounds like bullshit I know but when the drill rig finds water where he say it will be what can you say ?? Costs money to drill holes by chance. Any way after discovering my new found powers (LOL). I learned from a sister in laws family who fossicked for sapphire that people on the sapphire fields did it also...so I tried it out by someone putting a sapphire ring under one of five or six coffee cups on floor (with me out of the room )and having me locate the ring sapphire .It became somewhat of a party trick and I was always asked to repeat it when I visited and they had company. ..within a couple of years i moved state and have not attemped to do it since Can't say I can do it now, but for someone like me who has a sharp eye for the bull thats surrounds us now days ,All I can say is have a go you may be surprised.

Almost all underground water is found in aquifers and almost never in underground streams or rivers. This means that there is a water table or a depth in which water is found for a very large area. So the fact that he "found" water and knew the depth actually has nothing to do with magic wires and a lot to do with understanding local geography. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it would be more impressive if you found a spot in an aquifer without water.
I watched my Grandfather find multiple french drains the neighbors funneled into our garden using dowsing rods. Dunno about the science behind it but it worked 🤷
@K Korona I'm not a scientist and as I said I don't know how it worked, but it did. Alot of Irish farmers did it back it the day, which is what my Grandad was
@K Korona Like you can feel the magnet poles can you..? No ,but a compass will always find magnetic north .A great example of is this is how scientists can date when polarity swaps have accured (north and south poles switching places and yes this happens ) by looking at iron particles in rock which turn to face the poles while the rocks are in a molten state. These things are not magic just not fully understood
grogdizzy H2O is a polar molecule interestingly enough. And where there is a “di-pole” there is an electric field. And where there is an electric field there is potential. copper, humans and earth are all conductors soooo something is going on here...
They work! I wish I could prove it live.. Its fucking crazy. The first time I did it, I tried to disprove it to myself several times cause I could not believe it. Its truly a mind fuck.
I’ve had multiple people show me this working in irrigation. I’ve seen it on tv and heard of a lot of people talking about it used In multiple applications. Idk if everyone is just fucking around but next time I look for a poly water line I’m going to try it myself.
Its old ancient knowledge. Your body is a energy conducter and water is an energy current. But only certain people can do dowsing.....its spiritual and you need to have a connection with mother earth. Its nothing to be scared of ❤
It doesn't just work for water. My Mom told me about it and showed me how to do. My sister was great at it, but it didn't really work for me. Then, today, I was trying to find an old USB drive that I lost. I had the rods I'd made so I decided to give it a try. The rods pointed right to my bag. I thought I had checked the bag but decided to check again anyway. Sure enough, after rummaging around, I found it. Now the skeptic in me is saying that since I was the last to use the drive, I subconsciously knew where it was, and I influenced the result, but I don't know. Still, it was creepy.
Mr Rogan and other reading g and questioning I work for a small water department we have every thing from a regular locator machine to ground radar and 98percent of the time to locate and find our water lines are done with witching sticks “dowsing rods” I have never used or seen a willow branch we use two brass rods and it is extremely accurate for how it works as far as I can tell (I questioned it a lot starting out) it has to do with the electrical current of the earth now unlike what a lot of people think it doesn’t just “find “ water it is voids or space if you want I can list a step by step how to and you can personally test it I thought it was completely bs starting now I use it daily
Do controlled scientific experiment and return with results. Because at this point every single time actual scientific experiment done on this proved that dowsing doesn't work.
Been proven fake numerous times. “Modern day bull crap” um no ancient superstition with no actual evidence is the bull crap. It “works” because you can hit water tables almost anywhere and users tend to have a subconscious understanding of where water is likely to be based on landscapes.

My uncle does plumbing work and we were trying to locate a septic tank in our back yard. He asked if we had a metal shirt hanger and I looked at him like he was an idiot. Sure enough, a couple copper rods later we walked the yard and we found it. It works. Im just as baffled as anyone else would be. But if you have a personal septic tank in your yard, I highly recommend you try this and see for yourself
Just started researching this and apparently alot of water company's DO use dowsing, also the Catholic Church banned it back in the day...now why would they bother banning it if it didn't work!? 🤔
Pipelined for 15 years, I've used this method to find existing lines when a line locater couldn't find it. I've noticed it detects highline wires, underground wiring, underground pipelines of any kind. Whether it be poly, steel, copper, aluminum. I even walked over an old metal gate and it pick that up as well. I think people can naturally feels the frequency from these some better than others and the rods only amplifies our ability to detects these things. Kinda like how a lot of cities and and large structures just happen to be built where those energy line thingys intersect. Its something our bodies can feel even though we may not notice its doing that.

Why is it so odd that you do believe something you don't understand as implausible, improbable, or even unlikely? Or to go so far as to call it magic...
Could you possibly be the compendium of universally understood scientific fact, in all its forms, in all strata, throughout human history? Well done, sir. Well done...
Otherwise the statements you've made would border on assumptive arrogance, in that we as a species have now arrived at complete galactic understanding.
But just to be empirical for a moment, try this. Let's pretend your house is on city sewer and water service. And let's pretend you need to dig up your front yard to repair your sewer lead, 15'-20' below grade, and you don't know the location of the pipe, or your likely 1" copper water service line and stop box. Before you can dig down to the sewer lead, you have to expose the stop box, as it sits substantially higher in the trench.
So, you know what you do? Like ANY other underground Excavation Contractor, you go to your truck, reach behind the seat, and grab a pair of MissDig marker flags, about 2' long. Tear off the plastic, and bend the ends just past 90 degrees, then hold lightly in your fingers, with the long end pointing the direction you are walking, with the bent 6" vertical, like a handle of sorts.
Now, starting near the curb, walk across your yard parallel with the road, in a grid pattern. Within two or three passes, or about 20' into your grass, if you walk slowly, the rods pointing forward will eventually cross, in an X. Stop, and spray paint a mark. Now change your grid pattern, to come from the other direction. When the rods cross again, look down. You'll be within a couple feet, if not exactly on top of, your original mark. Repeat if you're not sure.
It took much longer to explain this than it takes to actually do it. From start to finish, it takes about four fucking minutes. Seriously, man.
I've been doing this shit for 30 years, over thousands and thousands of basement digs. It's the very first thing you do when you get out of the truck at the jobsite. That's invariably because the location stake is broken, buried, or missing. It's so NOT magical, as any excavator will tell you.
I doubt it's a magnetic thing. My guess is ground pressure/density variation that makes the rods cross. Now keep in mind, we're not "finding wells of water" or whatever, just locating two pipes/underground cavities.
But the reliability rate is near 100 percent. Like ridiculously simple, quick, and effective. Hell, go try it with a couple coat hangers, I don't care.
But please remember that aviation, a superbly technical craft, is just over a century old. Have a little respect/humility for the fact that we don't know everything just yet...
Especially if you've never actually done it. I've never flown to the moon, but I'm pretty sure it is possible, probable, and even likely, no matter how incredible. There are even people who say they've done it, lol.
@Where Is Waldo Magnetic fields are measurable. Try again there, Waldo. Also, supernatural in this case is just a placeholder for either something outside of nature (classic definition) or something that is within nature, but that means we can test and measure it.
You should crack open a geology book and read about underground water-sheds because you seem to really not understand how groundwater is distributed.
Man I was looking at some land a month back and one guy with us claimed dowsing worked. The myth is alive and well. There's so much water in the ground, you have to be gifted to miss it.

The water table. The water soaks into the ground and is even level everywhere under the ground. The water table. The water is the same level under the ground everywhere. You walk around with a stick and let it fall anywhere you want. The water is under there and anywhere else you choose to stop.
not how that works
the trick is water is fucking everywhere if you dig deep enough
not how that works
For those who don't know
California's Central Valley (albeit wine country is outside the mountains) used to be a marsh 500 years ago. California is historically a place with rich ground water supply.
One could make an argument that for dowsing in California, you have better chances. But, "Dowser Get It Wrong" is not really an interesting news story, but it would probably be a frequent one.
Maybe it doesn't really matter where you dig.

My grandfather showed me dowsing. Pretty convincing once to try it
Yeah but when tested you find out its bullshit
I’m not buying it this time Joe! Stop covering for the govt. Joe!!!
Energy dowsing is a REAL science -art. I use copper rods to find not only water but many other items as well. Until a person tries dowsing , they may want to try doing so themselves. You might be amazed.
but not everyone has the type of energy and or chemistry to have it work for them , so the ones that ant do it will discard the idea as hoax
Of course it works for those who aren't skeptical. It's called the idiomotor effect. My best friend was showing me one day how dowsing works while walking around his front yard with some copper wires. He was explaining electromagnetic fields being disturbed by the small void where the pipe was and the dowsing rods were so sensitive, they could react to it even through feet of soil. All the while, his cell phone was in his pocket as if the wires were sensitive enough to pick up this void feet under ground but the 1 layer of denim kept the electronic device from interfering.
@@Wellactually123 -Hopefully, more and more people will become involved in dowsing (using L-Rods, I call them energy rods.) Even after 10 years of dowsing, I still can't believe how amazing this form of energy detection is.

I can dowse. Was taught by an old plumber. Used it all the time in New Orleans after Katrina doing utility locates for a company that installed FEMA trailers. You can use it to find pipes that have the tracer wires broken and are fiberglass or plastic and are invisible to all other means except direct exposure by mechanical digging and probing. There's all kinds of uses for dowsing. Anybody can learn it. It's repeatable and usable anywhere.

Yes very much so. My grand father used to find wells of water that way all the time. Never missed. Don’t know how or why but it works.
it doesn't, it was tested and not a single person could find water reliably
You should have tested my Grandfather I watched him do it. Like I said weirdest thing I ever saw. It wasn’t a trick it was water 20’ft down and the well was hand dug purified with bleach before it was sealed.
It works because there is water all over the area and they would have hit it almost anywhere.
Have you ever dug a well? No there isn’t. Well if you want to go down 300 ft maybe. I’m talked about artesian wells. Not drilled wells. Water is closer to the surface in some places than others. But it has to be deep enough to get fresh water. Anywhere between 20’ and 50’. One last thing there have been mines dug a mile down and guess what no water.
@@martinj1645 you're delusional look up what a water table is. If you dig deep enough nearly anywhere you will hit water. It's only a matter of how deep you need to dig. It's pure luck when a dowser hits a good spot and if you dig another well 10 feet in any direction you'll wit the same water. Do some real research there have been countless experiments for hundreds of years that have disproven it. The most prolific being in the 90s where 30 expert dowser were invited to Germany and disproven. It's just luck period. There is no scientific evidence or even reason that it would be true at all. So you're basically saying you're a grown man that believes in magic. I guess these wizards have nothing better to do with there awesome powers that defy all logic and the laws of physics themselves so they spend their time helping people dig wells.

A metal coat hanger is perfect.
They literally taught dowsing with coat hangers in my heavy equipment school in Ontario. This is one of the best heavy equipment schools I'm the world. Its works to find stuff without locates to just be sure you aren't going to hit something. I've done it, works with metal objects too as long as they ate long enoff.

Say what you want about dowsing, I was in engineering class in school and bent two pieces of metal and walked around the class room with them and a straight line across the ground the rods turned in, later went outside and saw it was in line with a water pipe, I don't know how it works but it does, possibly something magnetic in the water and the metal. I don't think it's a supernatural thing, I think it's just something misunderstood because it seems only certain people can do it, it kind of worked for one other kid that day but over 10 of us tried.
Yes I think you are right its some kind of magnetic thing 🧲 (I believe blood type may effect this which would explain why it works better for certain people but that's just my theory ;)

At the end of this process whilst he talked to the land owner I checked out the wires he had put down .Seeing my interest he offered me a try, and sure enough they responded in the same way in my hands. He could also tell the depth at which the water was and how deep the stream was for ex 57 to 63 ,he did this with another device on a string. Yes it sounds like bullshit I know but when the drill rig finds water where he say it will be what can you say ?? Costs money to drill holes by chance.
Any way after discovering my new found powers (LOL). I learned from a sister in laws family who fossicked for sapphire that people on the sapphire fields did it also...so I tried it out by someone putting a sapphire ring under one of five or six coffee cups on floor (with me out of the room )and having me locate the ring sapphire .It became somewhat of a party trick and I was always asked to repeat it when I visited and they had company. ..within a couple of years i moved state and have not attemped to do it since

Almost all underground water is found in aquifers and almost never in underground streams or rivers. This means that there is a water table or a depth in which water is found for a very large area. So the fact that he "found" water and knew the depth actually has nothing to do with magic wires and a lot to do with understanding local geography. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it would be more impressive if you found a spot in an aquifer without water.
