Dowsing rods.... I work in substations and we had to trench through the yard. Substations have a ground grid under them and one of the guys I worked with said he can find the cables with the dowsing rods. I said sure, I'll even give you a one foot margin on each side.... We also had prints of the yard, so he had an idea of what should be there. Anyway, he walked the 75 feet we had to trench and he "marked out" the copper ground wires about every 8 feet. We trenched it and there was only ONE ground wire and was no where near any of his mark-outs. LOL No, the grounds were not deeper than we trenched, this was all coral rock and you can see if someone had cut across what we cut. Just the whole dowsing rod thing has been debunked time and time again....
A couple videos back when you had to re-drill a shot it looked like you abandoned the conduits from the failed pull in the ground. Is there a process to identify those in locate maps so they don't confuse qa future crew? We had a fibre cut because the locators found an abandoned conduit that was a foot above the live one.
I did underground locates for 6 years and there was an old lady who worked for hydro that located everything with those copper rods ?? He used two rods but had them in in copper tube sleeves in both hands , I tried them once they didn't work for me , He said you have to have a certain blood type for it to work and experience of course ,
@@lifeasweknowit5280 Driller recently used GPR at my site to locate a force main and 8 inch water line. Water line is PVC. Had to go right above the force main @42" deep with 2 6 inch conduits, Blew out and lifted the asphalt in about a 20X20 section on pullback of the second 6 inch.
@@lifeasweknowit5280 We have a FTTH project in a community with gravel roads and unmarked plastic water lines in Northern Minnesota. I think GPR is our only shot at avoiding a giant mess. We've considered micro-trenching at like 16" as well, but I'm a little scared to try that in Minnesota. In either case, I think we'll be buying a GPR and we'll sell it after we complete the project.

Not that I know of other than let the people we are contracted to that it happened then they can make a note of it.

No pressure
Have you guys ever used a GPR (ground penetrating radar)? I see them on ebay for ~$20k.
We haven’t, wonder if it would be helpful?

dowsing has been proven fake so many times its not funny.
you need two rods when they cross you have found it
Oh no not that god stuff.. no need
