Today I took a coat hanger, made it into rods and tried it. It worked every time. I did witch one well at 21, over 45 years ago and it worked but never practiced it again and had no idea it could be used for anything else but water. Today I tried it for water once and gold twice. It worked all three times. Thank You for a great video that will benefit me for the rest of my life. I have spent the rest of the day being excited and totally thankful to the universe for this talent. Never forget to thank goodness for being there to help. I do not mean any deity in particular but whom ever is answering your questions. They are your friend. I credit no particular deity because I do not know the source of this talent. I just say thank you a lot.
It’s just the Universe. That’s it. The Universe tells secrets to those who seek. This is coming from a former non-believer in anything supernatural for the most part. Devout non-believer. Lol.⚡️⚡️
All matter has consciousness. With water as an example the diviner focuses consciously on water which allows a correspondence in consciousness between themselves and the water. It is not abt an attraction between the diviner and the water as only opposites attract. If humans learnt and implemented the principal of correspondence life would flourish on this planet.
@@miranx5735 I can perform witching and here is the best explanation I can give: all things in this world are matter, matter is made of molecules, molecules vibrate at a specific rate based on the composition of the matter. When you introduce a witching rod you, holding the rods, create a specific frequency and when that frequency is disrupted the rods indicate where the disruption occurred. Just my opinion, but can state with all honesty that I’ve used this technique since I was a kid and it hasn’t failed me. I’ve even found $50k of buried fiber optics when the boss didn’t want to pay for GPR when trench excavating a parking lot.
I watched my great grandpa do this for the well on my dads property a few years back! the stick nearly dragged him to the ground it had so much force! at fist everyone watching was slightly skeptical and curios about it, (especially since none of us could do it) but he demonstrated a couple things, one of which was him trying to hold the stick up. and to my amazement the stick literally bent just past the point he was holding with some serious force! no way he could have faked it! it really is an amazing thing to witness with your own eyes!
It amazes me that people, who obviously have no interest in a subject, can fill their time commenting on the activities of others who are interested. I suppose that it is probably useless even responding to those people, but I really do feel sorry that they have not got the interests or incentives that would occupy their time better and give them a sense of excitement in their own spheres of interest. However I sure do enjoy reading the constructive comments and observations of those who are interested. Thank you, to all those people, for expanding a discussion in the areas and interests that I enjoy.
what people don't take the time to understand is that it works based on your own intention. think of tuning to a radio station. you cant see it, but having the radio and knobs as a "finding tool" you can find the station you are looking for. that might not be the best example, but it was the only thing similar i could think of. :)
I mean it overlaps with my sphere of interest insofar as I find it fascinating when people who are otherwise rational and logical trick themselves into believing something so provably nonexistent. It amazes me how good people are at fooling themselves, and how good people are at grasping onto anything that supports their belief and ignore anything that doesn't, but confirmation bias and the placebo effect is a strong influence on many things, I guess you could say it's human nature
I generally use a thinner, more supple fork (willow) & hold the ends with all four fingers of each hand wrapping them, palms facing upward. the feeling of the fork's nose being pulled down without any sort of manipulation is extraordinary. I've been doing this since childhood & it still amazes me.
Yes, me too. A green forked willow branch. My grandpa taught me how and I was amazed to feel the nose of the branch being pulled down. However, I believe these guys using metal rods are full of it.
@@paulmichaud3230 Well you are wrong. They work great. I have never tried with willow yet, but I will keep it in mind and maybe try it if opportunity permits.
I use a single copper rod when looking for buried cables before digging,works well. Use two rods when looking for water veins, the moment you see any movement with the rods, mark the spot and continue till you get the cross. Measure the distance from the first marker to the second marker to give you the dept you have to dig or drill. This worked perfectly.
The best part is that you find what you are looking for, is you say looking for water, rods move where the water is, if you look for a pipe, they move where the pipe is. So the rods can find basically anything that you think of. Looking for my earbuds today.
I fooled around with dowsing forks and rods years ago. Down here in the South we called it "water witching." One thing that puzzled me was the unnatural way the sticks are held by the dowser, or why with rods the thumbs are placed on the back of the horizontal section. I found that the reverse stick grip and the thumbed rods allow the tool to be manually manipulated without apparent movement. The sticks do give the trick away because the tip can only be downward manipulated only so far. At that point, the hands are visibly twisting the stick downward. But by then, observers are only looking at the stick tip dropping and the hands are not noticed. But... when the tip begins to drop, stay focused on the hands instead... you'll see the trick in action. Also, when using the sticks, keeping outward tension on the fork allows for manipulation of the tool using almost imperceptible force. Ask any "dowser" to perform the search while holding the tool with only his or her thumb and forefinger. They won't "find" any water because they can't manipulate the thing without obvious wrist movement. This guy isn't very tricky... he uses his forefinger to close the rods and thumbs to open it as he looks down to know when to manipulate things. Strap a blindfold on him and see if he can repeat his "discovery" Also, start at 1:36 where he says the rods are to open, and watch his visible right thumb push the rod open. Get him to explain why his thumb moves behind the rod precisely when the rod moves. He carries the rods pinched between his thumb and forefinger just for the purpose of opening and closing. When the rods/stick begins to move is when you need to be instead focused on his hands and fingers. The preliminary "coming up" of the stick tip is a standard magician's way of redirecting the audience's attention... don't fall for it; when you hear that, immediately watch the hands. In the case of the stick, his peculiar "counter-intuitive" way of holding allows his fingers to manipulate the stick, yet he still needs abrupt wrist movement to snap the stick downward... that's why he needs to distract where you are looking.
You were probably watching a sham artist. I have had the skin of my palm nearly twisted off. There isn't just anyone who can do it right. I've seen people say they can do it but they are a disgrace to watch.
@@bobbyrea5194 Yeah. Sure. Again, do it under controlled conditions. The James Randi foundation is offering a million dollars to you scam artists to provide actual proof of this. Funny how all of you "dowsers" are dirt poor.
Kevin, dowsing can be used for any material or any object. It depends on the dowser's intention. As you saw in the video, the dowser willfully ignores one material, and seeks the other. The mind has to be clear and free of doubt for it to be accurate. Police departments use diviners to locate missing persons.
Using the same method, I found 13 underground (8 feet under) crude flow lines in Burgan Oilf Filed -Kuwait in 1994 which metal detectors were not able to pick.
@@patsyhelm6851you’re misunderstanding the mechanism of action here, which is understandable bc it requires a reframing of how reality works, away from strict materialism. There are subtle forces taking advantage of the ideomotor effect, these forces dissapear when you control for the ideomotor effect. This was laughable to me as well until i began experiment myself.
I have seen someone do this in Pakistan, that men never been to our house before and was able to tell exactly where the water was for the water well to be dug up. What's more scary he also pointed to areas about 20-50 Meters away where the water was coming out from the ground. We checked it was.
Almost every square inch of earth has water under it in aquifers which is loose rock, gravel, and sand that is saturated with water that has settled on a layer of clay or rock. Basically, it would be amazing if he found a spot without water. Hope they didn't actually pay him.
My grandfather and my great grandfather were both water dividers up in the dales, Mathew Edward Stones (great grandfather) and William Longstaff stones who was my grandfather. I remember my grandfather walking up and down the land with his hazel diviners on our farm in Arkengarthdale with his pipe in his mouth. There were times when he was divining I can remember his arms shake when he found a water course and my dad once told me the hazels once came up with such force it knocked his pipe from his mouth and broke it. His hazel diviners were always placed behind a down pipe outside his house and we as children were never allowed to touch them or play with them. But another memory I have was when me and my cousin got them down to see if we could divine like granddad could and it broke into a fight where we were trying to get them off one another and they split right down the middle!!!!We were petrified, we know that he was going to go mad and in those days we would have got a good hiding from him. So we ran down to the wood and got what we thought was as good as the one that we broke and put it behind the down pipe and hoped he wouldn't notice. But to our horror a while later he got up to go outside and all we heard was this almighty shout what the bl##dy hell have you two done with my water diving sticks. Honestly if you could have seen what we replaced them with you would have laughed. They were bent, miles thicker, twisted at the ends where we ragged it from the branch!!! Well I took to my heels and ran with my cousin right behind me down to my dads by which time the phone was ringing, It was grandad playing holy hell. But as good lads we did go back to the wood and we took our time and found some better ones and cut a few and went to our grandad and said that we were sorry and gave him the ones we had cut and we were forgiven, but we never ever played with them again.
I can do the same thing cause I'm able to move my hands. Just found a dollar on the ground. That was easy, I've put it on the groound, found 2 sticks and convinced myself that the sticks helped me while it was visible on the ground all the time. Genious.
I noticed in the comments below that there are many skeptics. I have been using the L shaped metal rods for almost 40 years to find water, gas, and electrical lines. I even showed this technique to a county employee who was unable to locate the water lines. I have mapped out many areas in order to show where these underground lines lay. I have never used the wooden dissed, but I can verify that the metal ones work.
@@r.rodriguez4991 Yea right. You should try it, it will surprise you on how the rods move on their own, and how accurate they are. I first learned this trick of the trade when i worked as a polecat operator. In certain areas you did it before digging the hole for the pole. I knew of one operator who didn't when he should have and it cost the company a lot of money. His auger caught water lines and left a twisted mess.
@@theprophetez1357 If you can explain to me how it works I'll change my mind. But everybody has a different explanation. "Oh water repells copper! The body resonates with the water and the rods are an antenna! Magnets! Electricity!" Nobody ever stops to think that none of these claims can consistently explain how you're supposed to be able to do it with copper, iron, steel, and wood. Some people say when the lines cross it's water and when they turn away from each other it's electricity. And others say they cross at whatever you're thinking about. It's hokum. It's like the people who see aliens. Their stories are never the same. It's like there are 52 different alien races visiting our planet in ships that vary from spheres to discs to pure energy. You are latching onto your personal experience and ignoring the fact that everybody else who agrees with you contradicts your experience. Dowsing comes down to one thing. Coincidence. Nobody ever talks about when it fails.
@@r.rodriguez4991 You got it all wrong, and with me the rods always cross. Here's how you can try it. #6 Copper is best, but aluminum is good too. If you have neither get a metal clothes hanger. Cut off the twisted part and straighten the rod out. Cut it in two, then place a blend 5-6 inches from the end at a 90° angle. Then hold your hands to your side and spin them while they are in your hand. Spin them fast for about 10 seconds. Then hold them like pistols, but just let them rest on your index finger as the rear rests against your palm. DO NOT SQUEEZE. Now go out between your house and water main perpendicular to where the water line runs. As you approach the buried lines the rods will begin to pull inwards. When they line up you are over the pipe. If you begin to pass it the rods will cross over and point towards you. Try it out if it works sub to my channel and learn about more "unbelievable" (almost)things. Good luck RR.
@@theprophetez1357 No I don't have it wrong. Other people who claim to be doing the same thing you do have a different experience. Your stories don't match up. More importantly, what I want from you is an explanation, some faint idea of how it can even be possible that this works with copper, aluminum, AND wood. Just tell me what force is acting upon these objects and how in some cases it makes the rods move sideways and in others it cause a stick to move up and down. It's nonsense buddy. You've just convinced yourself that it isn't. If I'm wrong that's fine. Just tell me how even a little about how this works. If this process is so ancient we should have some idea by now.
I love scrolling down through the comments to see whats on both sides of the fence! Nearly everyone I come across, in my work in the deep drainage of land, finding the water veins, have to see to believe. laugh away though guys, its great therapy!!!
So let's get this right John. You know where the feed comes in off the street and you know where it enters the house yet only your majik can show you how to draw a straight line between the two? Gotcha.
When I was a kid the telephone company sent a man to find a buried telephone line to repair it. He brought two welding rods which crossed when he stepped whee the wire was. My four brothers and sisters and I watched. He gave us the rods, and each of us did it also.
That has nothing to do with this video fraud. Don't include yourself with these morons that believe this video. My God this country is in trouble. Look how many stupid people there are. CORNELIUS what you witnessed was straight forward science. Those lines carry thousands and thousands of volts which means the wires emit a powerful electro magnetic field that is easily picked up by welding rods.
I see many sceptics comments, I was one myself but when I saw the guy from water company use rods to find leak on a 105 acre farm was cool, he then found bag on jewellery by a oak tree 2m deep which was handed over to the police they said it was stolen from a local house 35 years ago. So explain that !
Not everyone can dowse (witch) for water. My grandfather told me many years ago that it is easy to tell if someone has the ability or not just by looking at the palms of their hands. If you see a well defined unbroken 'W' formed by the natural lines in the center of the palm ('M' if you are looking at your own as it will be upside down) then the ability is there. The two W's (one in each palm) , as he explained it, represents 'Water Witch'. I know that for members of my family (4 brothers and 5 sisters) only the ones with the 'W' in their palms could dowse for water. I've never tried anything other than water, so I cannot attest to that.
Funny you say this I have a Big W on each of my palms and I witched my Uncles well when I was 5 and he's still using that well today it was 750ft deep in Kentucky.
This actually works. I used two coathangers and cut them in roughly that shape. Still worked. For me they go outward though. Idk why. Try it, it works.
My Grandfather Found Water This Way and Got a Well Drilled to Water The Fruit n Veg Gardens.. ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.. Water Has a Frequency.. So Do We.. Grandpa used coat hangers made into dowsing rods n they crossed over where he had a well Drilled..
The first time I had someone show me how to dowse for water with the Y stick, I was shocked at how forceful the stick drew down to the ground. It hurt my hands.
I tried this with the metal rods in my back yard and I found the runs of my septic system. I already knew where they were, so it was a good test. It actually worked. My metal rods were in a wooden handle with a hold drilled in it so there was no influence from my hand. It actually worked. Surprised me as I thought this was hooey.
The whole thing about putting the rods in straws or pipe or whatever is nonsense. It doesn't stop you from tilting your hands which is what would actually cause the sticks to move. Some idiot came up with this idea one day and people just lap it up like morons.
I thought this was bull until I realized it's so accurate. I can find many missing items such as lost mower blades..... Thanks for sharing your video with us.
When I was a kid 60 years ago, my father had one of these guys come to the farm. Dad had hand pounded a pipe into the ground and it was hard to hand pump water. The dowser used a branched fork from a peach tree and found a spot 4 feet away from the well pump. Dad pulled the pipe and sunk it in the new location a few feet over and the hand pumping was a lot easier. My Mother watched me and my sister independently dowse around the property. Mom reported we found exactly the same 5 spots. I don't think she was putting us on. I've never needed to sink a well, so I never dowsed again. I conclude from my experience, you don't need a professional. You can do it yourself.
If this isnt fake why isnt he wearing a full blindfold? and walk on a tiny made bridge with a bottle of water underneath he hasnt seen where is placed.. then he might get a tiny shred of credit.
You either believe it or you don't. He isn't going to argue about it, he is only demonstrating his work, not proving it any further. Wikipedia says that in 2017 ten out of twelve british waterworks uses the dowser to find leaks from the pipelines.
I'm a 51 year old veteran, and I have been using this method for years. It works! Use can also use same practice to locate pipes and voids in the earth.
Yeah and any sane person doesn't just believe shit that has nothing to actually back it up, except just a bunch of hearsay that provides no proof. It's like saying "Ouija boards are real because one time me and my friends tried it and we all swore nobody was moving it on their own!" You got religion to thank for this ignorance.
Here's what you're missing. The rods have no inherent ability on their own. They are a response mechanism to you, the antenna. The body reacts with tiny movements that the dowsing rods display. If you, the antenna are not tuned to the right frequency, it will never work for you. That's why he talks about changing what he's looking for to get a response from his body.
John, While I dont understand how it works I have had very good results. However at around the 1:30 min mark, if you watch your hands they are rotating. When the wire moves in your hand rotates in. Ive found lots of pipes and 3 wells doing this. This was a poor way to try an introduce folks to dousing.
I always wondered how it could tell the difference between gold in the ground and my gold ring. And since water is located in the ground underground almost everywhere, I suppose dowsing works every time.
this method was used since before hightechnoly,you cannot believe it but itstrue, imagine how ancient people can make deep well before since they had no technology that can predict the under water. ther are still people using this method now a days.
Might need it to survive again one day.Always remember that most of modern society depands very much on power from a power station water from reservoirs and food supplied to a supermarket.If any or all of these things were knocked out due to a war and you had to fend for yourself you may become a believer.
Interesting blog and topic. I am still pretty new to dowsing. I am in Africa and there is a lot of gold around. I just made my rods from wardrobe wire coat hangers. And started dowsing. I would ask people to hide things and I would look for the stuff with my rods. Then I was refining the process and then wen off to my gold claim on admission to look for the gold veins. The main thing I would do was simply to talk to the rods (after observing some religious practice) and ask it questions and the rods would respond strongly as I would be walking. For example, I would ask, I am looking for a gold bearing being that has a grade of about 20 grams per tonne and the nearest to the surface within this area. Then the rods would point But the thing is when I would ask for the depth, it would say around 25 metres deep and the being about 2 metres wide, going 45 degrees etc. So it was my first time and you know the process and expenses of digging 25 deep and blasting is quite costly. So I just need assurances and testimonies from others that it works. I would be left with an egg in my face if i try it then find nothing! Has anyone ever got that deep?
Would ypu mind showing how to hold the forked stick/rods correctly and slowly and up close please. Also do the two rods that you hold need to be made of copper?
As an underground utility locator I can tell you that it does not work and the locator who tells you it works is wrong. I know many locators who believe it works and have seen exposed utilities and damages that prove it does not work. Utility companies have prints that will either give measurements or basic guidelines that show us locators where the utility "should" be. I can take a look at a water print and get a general idea of where the main should be at, sometimes even a measurement from the centerline of the street. The first try to locate a utility involves a transmitter and a receiver. A transmitter applies a frequency to the metal you are trying to tone out (Cast Iron, Steel, Copper, Tracer Wire) and then the receiver will show where that frequency is showing up. 8 MHz is an example of a commonly used frequency applied to the metal, this is known as "toning out the utility." If we can not obtain a tone in any way then each utility is handled differently none of which include "witching/dowsing". Typically though it will be done via measurements provided by the utility company. If there are no measurements then we contact the utility company to get the best idea as to where it is at or have them come out to decide where it is at. Very rarely though is that the case since tone and measurements will typically work. In most residential cases though most excavation is not deep enough to hit a water main so just throwing paint on the ground will cause no harm. Some locators decide to do this believing their magic sticks will give them an advantage (sort of a comforting feeling) to get it correct. Some locators have placed so much belief in this that instead of connecting onto a metal and toning out a line they decide to just witch it first. Some locators are out of work due to damages that could have easily been avoided had they placed their faith into a proven system that works and not one of divine intervention. By painting out a line and sticking a flag in the ground you are not proving the utility is there only that you think it is there. As far as estimating where your water service is at you don't need any magical sticks at all in fact all you need to find is your meter/valve box. Typically your service will go in a straight line from the front of your house to the main. If you're having troubles locating your meter/valve box try contacting the water company and ask about getting a measurement. Another way to get an idea as to where the water main is buried is to find a water main valve (metal cover on the ground typically in a circle shape with the word WATER written on it). The valve should be directly above the main. If the valve is 4 foot from the curb than very generally speaking the water main is 4 foot from the curb. Never trust any locate marks done by witching. Even if you believe it works despite evidence against it there are multiple heavily proven ways to get accurate marks that can be fully explained with out falling on the argument "just because you don't know how it works doesn't mean it doesn't work"
Thanks for your knowledge. Good reminder that even though this might seem fun and harmless, deception of any kind is rarely harmless, and anyone who says dowsing sticks work with any accuracy is just perpetuating a deception
i tried this today with a v-shaped stick and pointed it towards 2 water sources i knew for and it actually worked. no matter how hard you tried to pull the stick up, its impossible. so dont acuse him of something you havent tried yourself.
Focus your intent on the different materials. Requires practice! Many people use what is known as a "witness", which is a small amount of the material they are looking for (either held in the hand or attached to device). Can be done with/without a witness but the state of mind takes time to achieve normally.
I was looking for explanatory videos on the subject because this seemed really odd and questionable to me. So far, the theory behind water divining is electromagnetic fields. When looking for underground water, what you are actually looking for is magnetized rocks with a positive and negative pole. Thus, when you come across such a field, magnetic devices would react to it. Of course, this does not explain how this man manages to find water with a wooden stick.
My grandfather used to use oak branches to do this, for whatever reason I believe its this certain type of wood that causes this. I may be wrong, there may be more. But I believe its how oak pulls water or something.
It's pretty impressive to be able to find something when you know where it is beforehand...this is like watching a little kid playing with a batman doll. That's cute.
If you believe and practice the art of dowsing it works either way whether you can see the object of search or hidden makes no difference !!! I find gold EVERY time I go to the creek by dowsing and YES I believe in it 100% !!! That's why we dowsers don't associate with naysayers,skeptics or non-believers because we try to always maintain a positive attitude about any and everything positive in our lives !!!!
@@jeffreyelliott622 Yes it works! I went into a jewellry store and tried dowsing, and it led me straight to the golden rings! For some reason they told me I couldnt take them even tho I found them wtf
I am not a professional dowser but to find water courses I need one L antenna and it show me where the flow and direction that goes and so can not follow the flow of how much is needed but if you do it for a long time we take away too much energy
I tried it before. It was confusing, if my hand was shaking or the sticks were really moving. (I think my hands were steady) Im going to try it again with longer and thicker sticks. I need it and Im a believer.
Dowsing is an interesting thing. When I was 19 my great grandpa was dowsing outside his house. My Grandma told him he was making the stick go down. Totally didn't believe him. I tried doing it and nothing happened. I watched my doubting grandma take the stick and hold it so tight the bark peeled off when it turned down. Made a believer out of me.
He holds the rods and sticks like he is performing a "magic trick", with slight touch he can move the rods, and the stick. He has to rotate his hand just the direction he wants the rods to go. Normally if you search for real the water streams it is under the ground and there is a lot. The magnetic field is stronger than a bottle of water. It could be the water in your body is "feeling" the energy field and unconscious moves the hands. OR the field directly turns the rods. in that case the body may amplify the field. LIKE if you adjust the antenna on a radio and let it go the signal weakens again (your body transmitted the signal to the antenna while you where holding it).
LOL, that's not really how it works. Not the parlor trick, but water. Underground streams are pretty rare. Ground water which is under almost every square inch of soil, is almost always held in aquifers. Gravel, rocks, and sand, create voids that water settles into when there is a less permeable layer like clay or rock, below. Creating a void in this looser material let's the water fill the void, and that is a well. Aquifers can be bigger than the state of Texas and you are almost always guaranteed to hit one if you dig deep enough. The parlor trick is a misunderstanding of anatomy and science. It's something called the idiomotor effect. Your brain controls some of your fine motor skills without you making the conscious decision to do so. Sort of like highway hypnosis. I've heard the old argument about electromagnetic fields, voids, and your body being an antenna. The last guy who tried to convince me of that was dowsing while he was wearing a smart watch and his cell phone was in his pocket. The his watch, his phone, his own brain, heck, the sun creates more electromagnetic power than the movement of fluid inside of a pipe, feet below the earth. It's a disproven pseudoscience. Sorry. Also, look up the ADE 651. It was a dowsing bomb detector that got a lot of people killed because they were gullible enough to think dowsing actually works.
It's amazing how ur hand get closer together by what ur looking for and further apart "when u go past it" Its like you KNOW where it is......oh wait.....you do!
Its not magic, its just beyond most peoples skill set who live in the city. I use copper rods when I do it. Using wood is difficult and not as reactive. It has to be a specific species of wood that will conduct an electrical current without too much resistance, such as willow. The " Y " shape just gives you a convenient handle shape. An " L " shape is easier for me to use. Plastic rods will do nothing, as its a non conductive material. Water companies that do locates either use the metallic rod method (as backup) or they use an electronic rod and sensor (as primary method). The electronic way is easier and faster but you have to know where the void is to start. For example you want to find your water line that comes from the street across your yard. Place a battery with a lead wire next to the water meter located down inside the water meter box. This will put a very slight current through the water line as water is a conductive material. Then a hundred feet down the line, cross back and forth over the ditch and the electric meter will beep when it senses that electrical field. --- IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF --- READ BELOW --- I use a pair of bent 1/4" diameter copper rods to make an elongated " L " shape, the handle must be bent perfectly into a 90* handle ~ 5" length. Then the rod ~24" long, has to be held perfectly level so it doesn't rotate on its own. Hold the handle with a loose grip so it will spin on its own when it wants to. This is the most difficult part of dowsing. Making sure the rod will spin freely in your hand and is level at all times. If you are walking over uneven or steep terrain and your arms are wobbling around, it is real tough to determine if the rods moved because you are not holding them level or if you're over a void. Got to hold em straight without too much grip force. If you suck at the above free hand method, take the short handle of the 1/4" diameter copper rod and drop it inside a 3/8" diameter sleeve, like a pipe. This way the rod will spin easily inside its sleeve/handle without any friction and will be much easier to use. Hold it perfectly level and slowly slowly walk perpendicular to the suspected void. When you get within a couple feet of it, the rod or rods will want to spin and align themselves with the void. If you make a sleeve for your handle to spin freely inside, it has to be a pipe shape. If you use a pop bottle for instance, the handle will not spin easily because the larger diameter further down inside the bottle will allow the handle to wobble around and not remain level. If you walk parallel or at an angle to the void, the reaction will be less noticeable. When you cross over a "void" in the ground whether its full of water or not doesn't matter, the electrical field of the "void" will pull the rods into alignment. I do a lot of excavation and I use this to find septic drain fields, utilities, and old trenches. I do not know about the claims that you can estimate the depth of water, but I can easily find pipe buried 3' down. The crystal pendulum is suspicious to me. You can try this with a coat hanger as long as you rub a magnet on the tip of the hanger to magnetize it. Coat hanger sort of works, but it does work. Don't try it with a random piece of wood, its a million times easier with a metallic rod that is conductive to electricity. If you are successful at this, post a comment here to verify your success so the city folks know its actually possible to do.
That's good info. I have used coat hangers but never had to magnetize them. I drain phones, headsets and watches very quick. I wander if that's why I don't have to magnetize them? Never tried a "y" branch.
I have tried copper but i have better luck with plain old steel rods. I dont know why but an older guy i work with can only use copper but i guess im different.
Went do his wrists point inward when the rods start coming together? A piece of metal that shape and size would be able to rotate without affecting his hands or wrists. I mean if you held it tight enough it could make your wrists turn inward but if you held it that tight it would just counter act the movement of the rods and completely defeat the purpose of using them. Your kind of foolish if you think that would work.
I’ve seen my grandma do this with a Y shaped stick and she actually was pointing the stick upwards and it bent down words against her effort she actually water witched a pond that they dug in the backyard that never dried up because there was a spring there
It's a real thing. You can of course choose to believe it or not. I saw this done in the late 1960s by my grandfather born in 1900. The well is still in use today in the same spot as it was found by him with a tree branch over half a century ago. I saw it with my own eyes. Deep vein of underground water for the new house. You have to see it with your own eyes to believe it. I know.
Funny thing, we are having a large deck built in front of our home and deep well runs through there about 3 feet from the end of the new proposed deck. I bought some heavy copper wire to make a set for tomorrow's identification. I do like the idea of using 3/8" short pieces of plumbing pipe for handles to completely neutralize stress in between hands and rods. The main run to well it's 6 deep, but getting within 3 or 4 feet from concrete slab it's only 3 feet deep. Need to identify pipe so we don't hit water line putting in 12" sona tubes in. What a catastrophe that would be. While string trimming last week in back of solar panels I broke the heavy solid ground wire off, and wire goes into concrete mounting. So bought 8' foot ground rod and pounded in and reattached. But I was thinking wow that type of rod would be awesome to use for devining rods, little expensive though.
Can this technique be used to locate diamonds? I live by a state park where the public can dig/sleuth for diamonds and keep any diamonds they find. And yes, there’s been many many diamonds found over the years.
dowsing has been debunked and proved as a swindler's trick many times over, watch a bunch of professional diviners fail time after time to prove dowsing works for a prize of $40,000: (water dowsing starts at 21:44 results of the experiment start at 33:40) ruclips.net/video/cqoYrSd94kA/видео.html&ab_channel=PhilipBuarque
My grandfather taught me how to do that. it's still something I'm trying to master. He told me story of how this was used to find hidden bombs under ground at one point.
Your grandfather is an idiot. Ask anyone that knew him. He is also a liar. I do believe that a division of armed forces-once discovering how useless your grandfather was-would send him out looking for land mines with a couple of bent sticks. Your family should not be contaminating the gene pool with your DNA. That's sort of obvious I mean look how stupid his grandson is. The federal govt should spay or neuter everyone impressed by this video. Please don't vote. And for Godsakes don't breed.
I noticed the sceptics always had something to say. Not saying some of these dowsers aren't shams but know for a fact that dowsing done right works. I used a branch from a bitter bark tree and it almost twisted the hide out om hand.
Well i respect all these comments about magic and how things work .... but dowsing is told as nothing but synchronizing the mind electromagnet senses and the electromagnetic force of the thing we are trying to find. Look at the dowsing theory video if you interested. I am still trying to find if this really works or not so i wont stand on any conclusion but even if you see him flicking the rod or stick with finger it is cause if dowsing is true it is supposed to be that the mind electromagnetic power uses the muscle power to indicate them.
Want a minute now. I use this in my field of laying pipe and sometimes have to use this method to find a pipe that no one knows where it is. And I was told it has something to do with electricity. But how is it your rods cross over the pipe one time but the next they don't and cross over the water. Your saying that whatever your thinking of is what you will pick up?
Today I took a coat hanger, made it into rods and tried it. It worked every time. I did witch one well at 21, over 45 years ago and it worked but never practiced it again and had no idea it could be used for anything else but water. Today I tried it for water once and gold twice. It worked all three times. Thank You for a great video that will benefit me for the rest of my life.
I have spent the rest of the day being excited and totally thankful to the universe for this talent. Never forget to thank goodness for being there to help. I do not mean any deity in particular but whom ever is answering your questions. They are your friend. I credit no particular deity because I do not know the source of this talent. I just say thank you a lot.
can you explain the science behind the magic?
I did the same months ago, it’s amazing.
It’s just the Universe. That’s it. The Universe tells secrets to those who seek. This is coming from a former non-believer in anything supernatural for the most part. Devout non-believer. Lol.⚡️⚡️
All matter has consciousness. With water as an example the diviner focuses consciously on water which allows a correspondence in consciousness between themselves and the water. It is not abt an attraction between the diviner and the water as only opposites attract. If humans learnt and implemented the principal of correspondence life would flourish on this planet.
@@miranx5735 I can perform witching and here is the best explanation I can give: all things in this world are matter, matter is made of molecules, molecules vibrate at a specific rate based on the composition of the matter. When you introduce a witching rod you, holding the rods, create a specific frequency and when that frequency is disrupted the rods indicate where the disruption occurred. Just my opinion, but can state with all honesty that I’ve used this technique since I was a kid and it hasn’t failed me. I’ve even found $50k of buried fiber optics when the boss didn’t want to pay for GPR when trench excavating a parking lot.
I’m a hydro excavation specialist. I do this everyday. It works
Lots of people criticizing that have never tried it. I was skeptical too until I made copper rods and tried it

I watched my great grandpa do this for the well on my dads property a few years back! the stick nearly dragged him to the ground it had so much force! at fist everyone watching was slightly skeptical and curios about it, (especially since none of us could do it) but he demonstrated a couple things, one of which was him trying to hold the stick up. and to my amazement the stick literally bent just past the point he was holding with some serious force! no way he could have faked it! it really is an amazing thing to witness with your own eyes!

It amazes me that people, who obviously have no interest in a subject, can fill their time commenting on the activities of others who are interested. I suppose that it is probably useless even responding to those people, but I really do feel sorry that they have not got the interests or incentives that would occupy their time better and give them a sense of excitement in their own spheres of interest.
However I sure do enjoy reading the constructive comments and observations of those who are interested. Thank you, to all those people, for expanding a discussion in the areas and interests that I enjoy.
what people don't take the time to understand is that it works based on your own intention. think of tuning to a radio station. you cant see it, but having the radio and knobs as a "finding tool" you can find the station you are looking for. that might not be the best example, but it was the only thing similar i could think of. :)
I mean it overlaps with my sphere of interest insofar as I find it fascinating when people who are otherwise rational and logical trick themselves into believing something so provably nonexistent. It amazes me how good people are at fooling themselves, and how good people are at grasping onto anything that supports their belief and ignore anything that doesn't, but confirmation bias and the placebo effect is a strong influence on many things, I guess you could say it's human nature
Whyy doesnt the stick react to the water next to him to his right?
I generally use a thinner, more supple fork (willow) & hold the ends with all four fingers of each hand wrapping them, palms facing upward. the feeling of the fork's nose being pulled down without any sort of manipulation is extraordinary. I've been doing this since childhood & it still amazes me.
Yes, me too. A green forked willow branch. My grandpa taught me how and I was amazed to feel the nose of the branch being pulled down. However, I believe these guys using metal rods are full of it.
That works and you can also make you own. I made mine and it works very well.
@@paulmichaud3230 Well you are wrong. They work great. I have never tried with willow yet, but I will keep it in mind and maybe try it if opportunity permits.

@@paulmichaud3230 No, they're not. Cool thing is... the copper is responding to disruption in the magnetic field in the ground.
I use a single copper rod when looking for buried cables before digging,works well. Use two rods when looking for water veins, the moment you see any movement with the rods, mark the spot and continue till you get the cross. Measure the distance from the first marker to the second marker to give you the dept you have to dig or drill. This worked perfectly.
Thx dude

Wtf :))))))))))))
The best part is that you find what you are looking for, is you say looking for water, rods move where the water is, if you look for a pipe, they move where the pipe is. So the rods can find basically anything that you think of. Looking for my earbuds today.
I fooled around with dowsing forks and rods years ago. Down here in the South we called it "water witching." One thing that puzzled me was the unnatural way the sticks are held by the dowser, or why with rods the thumbs are placed on the back of the horizontal section. I found that the reverse stick grip and the thumbed rods allow the tool to be manually manipulated without apparent movement. The sticks do give the trick away because the tip can only be downward manipulated only so far. At that point, the hands are visibly twisting the stick downward. But by then, observers are only looking at the stick tip dropping and the hands are not noticed. But... when the tip begins to drop, stay focused on the hands instead... you'll see the trick in action. Also, when using the sticks, keeping outward tension on the fork allows for manipulation of the tool using almost imperceptible force. Ask any "dowser" to perform the search while holding the tool with only his or her thumb and forefinger. They won't "find" any water because they can't manipulate the thing without obvious wrist movement. This guy isn't very tricky... he uses his forefinger to close the rods and thumbs to open it as he looks down to know when to manipulate things. Strap a blindfold on him and see if he can repeat his "discovery" Also, start at 1:36 where he says the rods are to open, and watch his visible right thumb push the rod open. Get him to explain why his thumb moves behind the rod precisely when the rod moves. He carries the rods pinched between his thumb and forefinger just for the purpose of opening and closing. When the rods/stick begins to move is when you need to be instead focused on his hands and fingers. The preliminary "coming up" of the stick tip is a standard magician's way of redirecting the audience's attention... don't fall for it; when you hear that, immediately watch the hands. In the case of the stick, his peculiar "counter-intuitive" way of holding allows his fingers to manipulate the stick, yet he still needs abrupt wrist movement to snap the stick downward... that's why he needs to distract where you are looking.
You were probably watching a sham artist. I have had the skin of my palm nearly twisted off. There isn't just anyone who can do it right. I've seen people say they can do it but they are a disgrace to watch.
@@bobbyrea5194 Yeah. Sure. Again, do it under controlled conditions. The James Randi foundation is offering a million dollars to you scam artists to provide actual proof of this. Funny how all of you "dowsers" are dirt poor.

bu bizim deli ruclips.net/video/r9pDnyHUEVI/видео.html
Kevin, dowsing can be used for any material or any object. It depends on the dowser's intention. As you saw in the video, the dowser willfully ignores one material, and seeks the other. The mind has to be clear and free of doubt for it to be accurate. Police departments use diviners to locate missing persons.
Using the same method, I found 13 underground (8 feet under) crude flow lines in Burgan Oilf Filed -Kuwait in 1994 which metal detectors were not able to pick.

I have seen someone do this in Pakistan, that men never been to our house before and was able to tell exactly where the water was for the water well to be dug up. What's more scary he also pointed to areas about 20-50 Meters away where the water was coming out from the ground. We checked it was.
Almost every square inch of earth has water under it in aquifers which is loose rock, gravel, and sand that is saturated with water that has settled on a layer of clay or rock. Basically, it would be amazing if he found a spot without water. Hope they didn't actually pay him.

It’s obvious you have never dowsed
My grandfather and my great grandfather were both water dividers up in the dales, Mathew Edward Stones (great grandfather) and William Longstaff stones who was my grandfather. I remember my grandfather walking up and down the land with his hazel diviners on our farm in Arkengarthdale with his pipe in his mouth. There were times when he was divining I can remember his arms shake when he found a water course and my dad once told me the hazels once came up with such force it knocked his pipe from his mouth and broke it. His hazel diviners were always placed behind a down pipe outside his house and we as children were never allowed to touch them or play with them. But another memory I have was when me and my cousin got them down to see if we could divine like granddad could and it broke into a fight where we were trying to get them off one another and they split right down the middle!!!!We were petrified, we know that he was going to go mad and in those days we would have got a good hiding from him. So we ran down to the wood and got what we thought was as good as the one that we broke and put it behind the down pipe and hoped he wouldn't notice. But to our horror a while later he got up to go outside and all we heard was this almighty shout what the bl##dy hell have you two done with my water diving sticks. Honestly if you could have seen what we replaced them with you would have laughed. They were bent, miles thicker, twisted at the ends where we ragged it from the branch!!! Well I took to my heels and ran with my cousin right behind me down to my dads by which time the phone was ringing, It was grandad playing holy hell. But as good lads we did go back to the wood and we took our time and found some better ones and cut a few and went to our grandad and said that we were sorry and gave him the ones we had cut and we were forgiven, but we never ever played with them again.
nice story

I can do the same thing cause I'm able to move my hands. Just found a dollar on the ground. That was easy, I've put it on the groound, found 2 sticks and convinced myself that the sticks helped me while it was visible on the ground all the time. Genious.
I noticed in the comments below that there are many skeptics. I have been using the L shaped metal rods for almost 40 years to find water, gas, and electrical lines. I even showed this technique to a county employee who was unable to locate the water lines. I have mapped out many areas in order to show where these underground lines lay. I have never used the wooden dissed, but I can verify that the metal ones work.
Yeah right.
@@r.rodriguez4991 Yea right. You should try it, it will surprise you on how the rods move on their own, and how accurate they are.
I first learned this trick of the trade when i worked as a polecat operator. In certain areas you did it before digging the hole for the pole. I knew of one operator who didn't when he should have and it cost the company a lot of money. His auger caught water lines and left a twisted mess.
@@theprophetez1357 If you can explain to me how it works I'll change my mind. But everybody has a different explanation. "Oh water repells copper! The body resonates with the water and the rods are an antenna! Magnets! Electricity!"
Nobody ever stops to think that none of these claims can consistently explain how you're supposed to be able to do it with copper, iron, steel, and wood. Some people say when the lines cross it's water and when they turn away from each other it's electricity. And others say they cross at whatever you're thinking about.
It's hokum. It's like the people who see aliens. Their stories are never the same. It's like there are 52 different alien races visiting our planet in ships that vary from spheres to discs to pure energy. You are latching onto your personal experience and ignoring the fact that everybody else who agrees with you contradicts your experience. Dowsing comes down to one thing. Coincidence. Nobody ever talks about when it fails.
@@r.rodriguez4991 You got it all wrong, and with me the rods always cross.
Here's how you can try it. #6 Copper is best, but aluminum is good too. If you have neither get a metal clothes hanger. Cut off the twisted part and straighten the rod out. Cut it in two, then place a blend 5-6 inches from the end at a 90° angle. Then hold your hands to your side and spin them while they are in your hand. Spin them fast for about 10 seconds. Then hold them like pistols, but just let them rest on your index finger as the rear rests against your palm. DO NOT SQUEEZE.
Now go out between your house and water main perpendicular to where the water line runs. As you approach the buried lines the rods will begin to pull inwards. When they line up you are over the pipe. If you begin to pass it the rods will cross over and point towards you.
Try it out if it works sub to my channel and learn about more "unbelievable" (almost)things. Good luck RR.
@@theprophetez1357 No I don't have it wrong. Other people who claim to be doing the same thing you do have a different experience. Your stories don't match up. More importantly, what I want from you is an explanation, some faint idea of how it can even be possible that this works with copper, aluminum, AND wood. Just tell me what force is acting upon these objects and how in some cases it makes the rods move sideways and in others it cause a stick to move up and down. It's nonsense buddy. You've just convinced yourself that it isn't.
If I'm wrong that's fine. Just tell me how even a little about how this works. If this process is so ancient we should have some idea by now.
I love scrolling down through the comments to see whats on both sides of the fence! Nearly everyone I come across, in my work in the deep drainage of land, finding the water veins, have to see to believe. laugh away though guys, its great therapy!!!

When I was a kid the telephone company sent a man to find a buried telephone line to repair it. He brought two welding rods which crossed when he stepped whee the wire was. My four brothers and sisters and I watched. He gave us the rods, and each of us did it also.

Not everyone can dowse (witch) for water. My grandfather told me many years ago that it is easy to tell if someone has the ability or not just by looking at the palms of their hands. If you see a well defined unbroken 'W' formed by the natural lines in the center of the palm ('M' if you are looking at your own as it will be upside down) then the ability is there. The two W's (one in each palm) , as he explained it, represents 'Water Witch'. I know that for members of my family (4 brothers and 5 sisters) only the ones with the 'W' in their palms could dowse for water. I've never tried anything other than water, so I cannot attest to that.
for all you nay sayers , GET OFF THE COUCH!!!!
I am certainly not a "nay sayer" so not sure why this was a reply to my post. Can you clarify?

When I was a kid 60 years ago, my father had one of these guys come to the farm. Dad had hand pounded a pipe into the ground and it was hard to hand pump water. The dowser used a branched fork from a peach tree and found a spot 4 feet away from the well pump. Dad pulled the pipe and sunk it in the new location a few feet over and the hand pumping was a lot easier.
My Mother watched me and my sister independently dowse around the property. Mom reported we found exactly the same 5 spots. I don't think she was putting us on.
I've never needed to sink a well, so I never dowsed again.
I conclude from my experience, you don't need a professional. You can do it yourself.
My grandfather does this however, this is something you can't learn its a gift I wish it could work for me but it does not
Its has to be some ancient technology
Ive done this and there is NO way that I could have stopped that stick from bending on itself, over water. The force is incredibly strong.
Just wondering what kind of wood/stick you used. Does it matter?
If this isnt fake why isnt he wearing a full blindfold? and walk on a tiny made bridge with a bottle of water underneath he hasnt seen where is placed.. then he might get a tiny shred of credit.
Rawsawn @ yea thats true
You either believe it or you don't. He isn't going to argue about it, he is only demonstrating his work, not proving it any further. Wikipedia says that in 2017 ten out of twelve british waterworks uses the dowser to find leaks from the pipelines.
I'm a 51 year old veteran, and I have been using this method for years. It works! Use can also use same practice to locate pipes and voids in the earth.
If he was wearing a full blindfold you would say he was peaking, or being told by an of screen observer...What is your point?
Yeah and any sane person doesn't just believe shit that has nothing to actually back it up, except just a bunch of hearsay that provides no proof. It's like saying "Ouija boards are real because one time me and my friends tried it and we all swore nobody was moving it on their own!" You got religion to thank for this ignorance.
Here's what you're missing. The rods have no inherent ability on their own. They are a response mechanism to you, the antenna. The body reacts with tiny movements that the dowsing rods display. If you, the antenna are not tuned to the right frequency, it will never work for you. That's why he talks about changing what he's looking for to get a response from his body.
John,
While I dont understand how it works I have had very good results. However at around the 1:30 min mark, if you watch your hands they are rotating. When the wire moves in your hand rotates in. Ive found lots of pipes and 3 wells doing this. This was a poor way to try an introduce folks to dousing.
I always wondered how it could tell the difference between gold in the ground and my gold ring. And since water is located in the ground underground almost everywhere, I suppose dowsing works every time.
this method was used since before hightechnoly,you cannot believe it but itstrue, imagine how ancient people can make deep well before since they had no technology that can predict the under water. ther are still people using this method now a days.
Might need it to survive again one day.Always remember that most of modern society depands very much on power from a power station water from reservoirs and food supplied to a supermarket.If any or all of these things were knocked out due to a war and you had to fend for yourself you may become a believer.
Does it still work with a blindfold on?
No
Interesting blog and topic. I am still pretty new to dowsing. I am in Africa and there is a lot of gold around. I just made my rods from wardrobe wire coat hangers. And started dowsing. I would ask people to hide things and I would look for the stuff with my rods. Then I was refining the process and then wen off to my gold claim on admission to look for the gold veins. The main thing I would do was simply to talk to the rods (after observing some religious practice) and ask it questions and the rods would respond strongly as I would be walking. For example, I would ask, I am looking for a gold bearing being that has a grade of about 20 grams per tonne and the nearest to the surface within this area. Then the rods would point
But the thing is when I would ask for the depth, it would say around 25 metres deep and the being about 2 metres wide, going 45 degrees etc. So it was my first time and you know the process and expenses of digging 25 deep and blasting is quite costly. So I just need assurances and testimonies from others that it works. I would be left with an egg in my face if i try it then find nothing! Has anyone ever got that deep?
Joe "Look at his sweater I'm not listening to this guy ever" Rogan brought me here.
Would ypu mind showing how to hold the forked stick/rods correctly and slowly and up close please. Also do the two rods that you hold need to be made of copper?
As an underground utility locator I can tell you that it does not work and the locator who tells you it works is wrong.

Utility companies have prints that will either give measurements or basic guidelines that show us locators where the utility "should" be. I can take a look at a water print and get a general idea of where the main should be at, sometimes even a measurement from the centerline of the street. The first try to locate a utility involves a transmitter and a receiver. A transmitter applies a frequency to the metal you are trying to tone out (Cast Iron, Steel, Copper, Tracer Wire) and then the receiver will show where that frequency is showing up. 8 MHz is an example of a commonly used frequency applied to the metal, this is known as "toning out the utility."
If we can not obtain a tone in any way then each utility is handled differently none of which include "witching/dowsing". Typically though it will be done via measurements provided by the utility company. If there are no measurements then we contact the utility company to get the best idea as to where it is at or have them come out to decide where it is at. Very rarely though is that the case since tone and measurements will typically work.
In most residential cases though most excavation is not deep enough to hit a water main so just throwing paint on the ground will cause no harm. Some locators decide to do this believing their magic sticks will give them an advantage (sort of a comforting feeling) to get it correct. Some locators have placed so much belief in this that instead of connecting onto a metal and toning out a line they decide to just witch it first. Some locators are out of work due to damages that could have easily been avoided had they placed their faith into a proven system that works and not one of divine intervention.
By painting out a line and sticking a flag in the ground you are not proving the utility is there only that you think it is there. As far as estimating where your water service is at you don't need any magical sticks at all in fact all you need to find is your meter/valve box. Typically your service will go in a straight line from the front of your house to the main. If you're having troubles locating your meter/valve box try contacting the water company and ask about getting a measurement.
Another way to get an idea as to where the water main is buried is to find a water main valve (metal cover on the ground typically in a circle shape with the word WATER written on it). The valve should be directly above the main. If the valve is 4 foot from the curb than very generally speaking the water main is 4 foot from the curb.
Never trust any locate marks done by witching. Even if you believe it works despite evidence against it there are multiple heavily proven ways to get accurate marks that can be fully explained with out falling on the argument "just because you don't know how it works doesn't mean it doesn't work"
Over explaining 101
Thanks for your knowledge. Good reminder that even though this might seem fun and harmless, deception of any kind is rarely harmless, and anyone who says dowsing sticks work with any accuracy is just perpetuating a deception
@@HingleMcCringleberryPSU It does work and it simple science, not magic.
@@NCWoodlandRoamer If it is simple science then it should be simple to explain it here.
@@That_Awesome_Guy1 Since you’re so awesome you can figure it out on your own.
i tried this today with a v-shaped stick and pointed it towards 2 water sources i knew for and it actually worked.
no matter how hard you tried to pull the stick up, its impossible.
so dont acuse him of something you havent tried yourself.
So what is it like Thor's hammer? You could pull the sticks up. You just didn't want to.
@@r.rodriguez4991 you just cant hold it no matter what.
ive tried pulling it up on purpose but it just didnt work
What do you do differently to locate different materials, e.g. man made or natural, lead or copper? Please clarify this part.
Focus your intent on the different materials. Requires practice! Many people use what is known as a "witness", which is a small amount of the material they are looking for (either held in the hand or attached to device). Can be done with/without a witness but the state of mind takes time to achieve normally.
I did this just before it rained, and the sticks made me fly into the could!
The only reason it did is because you had water in your head where you were supposed to have a brain.
I was looking for explanatory videos on the subject because this seemed really odd and questionable to me. So far, the theory behind water divining is electromagnetic fields. When looking for underground water, what you are actually looking for is magnetized rocks with a positive and negative pole. Thus, when you come across such a field, magnetic devices would react to it. Of course, this does not explain how this man manages to find water with a wooden stick.
Also, who or what brought you here? A GRE vocabulary session brought me here.
My grandfather used to use oak branches to do this, for whatever reason I believe its this certain type of wood that causes this. I may be wrong, there may be more. But I believe its how oak pulls water or something.
Another big theory is that it's your body unconsciously moving the rods when it thinks it's found something
This is really a good technique without losing a lot of money digging a hole.
It's pretty impressive to be able to find something when you know where it is beforehand...this is like watching a little kid playing with a batman doll. That's cute.
If you believe and practice the art of dowsing it works either way whether you can see the object of search or hidden makes no difference !!! I find gold EVERY time I go to the creek by dowsing and YES I believe in it 100% !!! That's why we dowsers don't associate with naysayers,skeptics or non-believers because we try to always maintain a positive attitude about any and everything positive in our lives !!!!
@@jeffreyelliott622 Yes it works! I went into a jewellry store and tried dowsing, and it led me straight to the golden rings! For some reason they told me I couldnt take them even tho I found them wtf
For the record I must say this really work..... the real deal no rubbish
you can use two coat hangers very simple
For an abortion maybe?
I am not a professional dowser but to find water courses I need one L antenna and it show me where the flow and direction that goes and so can not follow the flow of how much is needed but if you do it for a long time we take away too much energy
What type of wooden branch do you use? I enjoyed your video. Thank you for taking time to show us believers.
My grandpa used willow.
I tried it before. It was confusing, if my hand was shaking or the sticks were really moving. (I think my hands were steady)
Im going to try it again with longer and thicker sticks. I need it and Im a believer.
Working for a utility company... we use witch sticks to locate water lines allllll the time. This may be exaggerated..? But it works.
It is a phenomena of Resonance. and yes, it works.
"So i know its a very small thing im looking for" (moves hands) "and I've got it again just there"
Dowsing is an interesting thing. When I was 19 my great grandpa was dowsing outside his house. My Grandma told him he was making the stick go down. Totally didn't believe him. I tried doing it and nothing happened. I watched my doubting grandma take the stick and hold it so tight the bark peeled off when it turned down. Made a believer out of me.
I'm a believer...but I am not convinced on this demonstration because the hands appear to be manipulating the rods.
GloriaND I use 2 cooper pipes to have rods move freely
It’s true, A water diviner asked my to try these and that was true..
Is this really true? Finding water from the ground. What type of rod you use?
He holds the rods and sticks like he is performing a "magic trick", with slight touch he can move the rods, and the stick. He has to rotate his hand just the direction he wants the rods to go. Normally if you search for real the water streams it is under the ground and there is a lot. The magnetic field is stronger than a bottle of water. It could be the water in your body is "feeling" the energy field and unconscious moves the hands. OR the field directly turns the rods. in that case the body may amplify the field. LIKE if you adjust the antenna on a radio and let it go the signal weakens again (your body transmitted the signal to the antenna while you where holding it).
LOL, that's not really how it works. Not the parlor trick, but water. Underground streams are pretty rare. Ground water which is under almost every square inch of soil, is almost always held in aquifers. Gravel, rocks, and sand, create voids that water settles into when there is a less permeable layer like clay or rock, below. Creating a void in this looser material let's the water fill the void, and that is a well. Aquifers can be bigger than the state of Texas and you are almost always guaranteed to hit one if you dig deep enough.
The parlor trick is a misunderstanding of anatomy and science. It's something called the idiomotor effect. Your brain controls some of your fine motor skills without you making the conscious decision to do so. Sort of like highway hypnosis. I've heard the old argument about electromagnetic fields, voids, and your body being an antenna. The last guy who tried to convince me of that was dowsing while he was wearing a smart watch and his cell phone was in his pocket. The his watch, his phone, his own brain, heck, the sun creates more electromagnetic power than the movement of fluid inside of a pipe, feet below the earth. It's a disproven pseudoscience. Sorry. Also, look up the ADE 651. It was a dowsing bomb detector that got a lot of people killed because they were gullible enough to think dowsing actually works.
It's amazing how ur hand get closer together by what ur looking for and further apart "when u go past it" Its like you KNOW where it is......oh wait.....you do!
if I was to piss on the Rod would that help me find a septic system
+York Ben LOL!!!
haha!! :D :D :D
I'll piss on your rod.
Good Sir, how would one find a leak in a water pipe? Or, what question would one ask to find the leak in a house water pipe?
you gotta find the pipe before the leak.
Its not magic, its just beyond most peoples skill set who live in the city.
I use copper rods when I do it. Using wood is difficult and not as reactive. It has to be a specific species of wood that will conduct an electrical current without too much resistance, such as willow. The " Y " shape just gives you a convenient handle shape. An " L " shape is easier for me to use.
Plastic rods will do nothing, as its a non conductive material.
Water companies that do locates either use the metallic rod method (as backup) or they use an electronic rod and sensor (as primary method). The electronic way is easier and faster but you have to know where the void is to start. For example you want to find your water line that comes from the street across your yard. Place a battery with a lead wire next to the water meter located down inside the water meter box. This will put a very slight current through the water line as water is a conductive material. Then a hundred feet down the line, cross back and forth over the ditch and the electric meter will beep when it senses that electrical field.
--- IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF --- READ BELOW ---
I use a pair of bent 1/4" diameter copper rods to make an elongated " L " shape, the handle must be bent perfectly into a 90* handle ~ 5" length. Then the rod ~24" long, has to be held perfectly level so it doesn't rotate on its own. Hold the handle with a loose grip so it will spin on its own when it wants to. This is the most difficult part of dowsing. Making sure the rod will spin freely in your hand and is level at all times. If you are walking over uneven or steep terrain and your arms are wobbling around, it is real tough to determine if the rods moved because you are not holding them level or if you're over a void. Got to hold em straight without too much grip force.
If you suck at the above free hand method, take the short handle of the 1/4" diameter copper rod and drop it inside a 3/8" diameter sleeve, like a pipe. This way the rod will spin easily inside its sleeve/handle without any friction and will be much easier to use. Hold it perfectly level and slowly slowly walk perpendicular to the suspected void. When you get within a couple feet of it, the rod or rods will want to spin and align themselves with the void. If you make a sleeve for your handle to spin freely inside, it has to be a pipe shape. If you use a pop bottle for instance, the handle will not spin easily because the larger diameter further down inside the bottle will allow the handle to wobble around and not remain level.
If you walk parallel or at an angle to the void, the reaction will be less noticeable.
When you cross over a "void" in the ground whether its full of water or not doesn't matter, the electrical field of the "void" will pull the rods into alignment. I do a lot of excavation and I use this to find septic drain fields, utilities, and old trenches.
I do not know about the claims that you can estimate the depth of water, but I can easily find pipe buried 3' down. The crystal pendulum is suspicious to me.
You can try this with a coat hanger as long as you rub a magnet on the tip of the hanger to magnetize it. Coat hanger sort of works, but it does work.
Don't try it with a random piece of wood, its a million times easier with a metallic rod that is conductive to electricity.
If you are successful at this, post a comment here to verify your success so the city folks know its actually possible to do.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowsing#Scientific_reception
That's good info. I have used coat hangers but never had to magnetize them. I drain phones, headsets and watches very quick. I wander if that's why I don't have to magnetize them? Never tried a "y" branch.
I have tried copper but i have better luck with plain old steel rods. I dont know why but an older guy i work with can only use copper but i guess im different.
Went do his wrists point inward when the rods start coming together? A piece of metal that shape and size would be able to rotate without affecting his hands or wrists. I mean if you held it tight enough it could make your wrists turn inward but if you held it that tight it would just counter act the movement of the rods and completely defeat the purpose of using them. Your kind of foolish if you think that would work.
I’ve seen my grandma do this with a Y shaped stick and she actually was pointing the stick upwards and it bent down words against her effort she actually water witched a pond that they dug in the backyard that never dried up because there was a spring there
It's a real thing.
You can of course choose to believe it or not. I saw this done in the late 1960s by my grandfather born in 1900. The well is still in use today in the same spot as it was found by him with a tree branch over half a century ago. I saw it with my own eyes. Deep vein of underground water for the new house.
You have to see it with your own eyes to believe it. I know.
Funny thing, we are having a large deck built in front of our home and deep well runs through there about 3 feet from the end of the new proposed deck. I bought some heavy copper wire to make a set for tomorrow's identification. I do like the idea of using 3/8" short pieces of plumbing pipe for handles to completely neutralize stress in between hands and rods. The main run to well it's 6 deep, but getting within 3 or 4 feet from concrete slab it's only 3 feet deep. Need to identify pipe so we don't hit water line putting in 12" sona tubes in. What a catastrophe that would be.
While string trimming last week in back of solar panels I broke the heavy solid ground wire off, and wire goes into concrete mounting. So bought 8' foot ground rod and pounded in and reattached. But I was thinking wow that type of rod would be awesome to use for devining rods, little expensive though.
Excellent thank you for showing us your method.
Can this technique be used to locate diamonds? I live by a state park where the public can dig/sleuth for diamonds and keep any diamonds they find. And yes, there’s been many many diamonds found over the years.
dowsing has been debunked and proved as a swindler's trick many times over, watch a bunch of professional diviners fail time after time to prove dowsing works for a prize of $40,000: (water dowsing starts at 21:44 results of the experiment start at 33:40) ruclips.net/video/cqoYrSd94kA/видео.html&ab_channel=PhilipBuarque
My grandfather taught me how to do that. it's still something I'm trying to master. He told me story of how this was used to find hidden bombs under ground at one point.
And you believed him?
Your grandpa was either a liar or a fool
Your grandfather was full of shit.
Your grandfather is an idiot. Ask anyone that knew him. He is also a liar. I do believe that a division of armed forces-once discovering how useless your grandfather was-would send him out looking for land mines with a couple of bent sticks. Your family should not be contaminating the gene pool with your DNA. That's sort of obvious I mean look how stupid his grandson is. The federal govt should spay or neuter everyone impressed by this video. Please don't vote. And for Godsakes don't breed.
Your grandfather was a liar.
thank you sir..... very nice explained..
Wow, that's clever. Telepathic rodsthat know what he's looking for.
I have used bent coat hangers inside card board tubes to locate field drains. Worked for me,
At least he's got his 'Thinking Cap' on.
Is there a version I can use to find the willing ladies?
Sorry dude, controlled scientific conditions or no dice.
so.... they can tell whether your looking for copper or lead or water?? or is there a switch on the side of one of them.
I’ve don’t that myself and it feels pretty darn weird
I noticed the sceptics always had something to say. Not saying some of these dowsers aren't shams but know for a fact that dowsing done right works. I used a branch from a bitter bark tree and it almost twisted the hide out om hand.
Well i respect all these comments about magic and how things work .... but dowsing is told as nothing but synchronizing the mind electromagnet senses and the electromagnetic force of the thing we are trying to find. Look at the dowsing theory video if you interested. I am still trying to find if this really works or not so i wont stand on any conclusion but even if you see him flicking the rod or stick with finger it is cause if dowsing is true it is supposed to be that the mind electromagnetic power uses the muscle power to indicate them.
@Sploxon no that is a theory put in a way somebody who isn't scientifically minded might accept it.
Want a minute now. I use this in my field of laying pipe and sometimes have to use this method to find a pipe that no one knows where it is. And I was told it has something to do with electricity. But how is it your rods cross over the pipe one time but the next they don't and cross over the water. Your saying that whatever your thinking of is what you will pick up?
That's right. IF you can hold your focus..
absolutely hilarious! also, I'm here because JRE
You know what's hilarious is you jumping to a conclusion without trying it yourself.
@@noahw31 apologies. I'm waiting for the weekend to try it out. I'll check back in afterwards with an update 😉

These sort of rods have failed all controlled tests.
These only work if the user has a pretty good idea where the water already.
