Secrets of Dowsing Revealed

- The secret?
There are no secrets. It's not magic. The rods do not "find" water.
And yes, if the water table is 15 feet in my area I will hit water at 15 feet no matter where I dig. But some areas give you more access to that water and that is where dowsing comes in.
My opinion, for what it is worth, is that your own body is somehow sensitive to the voids beneath the soil you walk on. The rods are merely a way that your body shows you what it is sensing beneath your feet. A visible meter, so to speak. And some people are more sensitive to the feeling than others.
These voids are created where water lines are buried, cables are buried, septic lines are buried, where graves exist - and yes, voids where water can more easily pool. So the rods are not "finding" water. It's your own body sensing the void where water is more easily accessible.
Like any other skill dowsing takes practice. I am not a dowsing advocate but I do encourage people to try it. Try to find your buried water lines or cables then explain to me why and how it works. I don't pretend to know but I have used them with a good track record locating all of the examples I've listed so I use them just like any other tool in my toolbox.
I have learned that this is a very divisive subject and my original intent was merely a suggestion for people to try - but that single suggestion seemed to take on a life of it's own with no middle ground.
Give it a try or don't. It really is as simple as that.

I knew an old farmer that didn’t even use sticks, he was somehow so connected to the earth all he needed to do was take his shoes off and he could feel the water/void or whatever underneath the ground. He said he knew people when he was young that would get light headed or a sinking feeling in their body as they crossed a void.
Pure fiction.
Do more research there's people that can sense earthquakes. There's something we don't quite understand about ourselves maybe several things that we haven't used in hundreds of years something really simple and extinctional Instincts
Intuition is a better word than connected
My mom talked of grandpa Perry would use sticks walking barefoot. He was part of the earth when he did that.

I wasn't sure about dowsing rods until I saw a city worker use them to find a buried water main in the street. It was quick with no electrical connections. Just the two rods.
For some reason it works. They used dowsing rods to find water to build a well on my family's farm. I was totally skeptical as a kid, but still the pump works until now.
I do water development projects with mountain springs as part of my job. One time a few summers ago we couldn't find an underground head box after searching for 2 hours. One of my coworkers suggested we try some well witching. We made rods with some smooth wire and no joke, she was able to find the pipe within 15 minutes.
I practiced and we used this method for the rest of the summer, and it worked often. I'm a believer.
My other coworker was not convinced and would argue with us each time we would get our rods out about how it's fake. But it literally worked just about every single time me and her would do it. So jokes on him I guess? Lol.
I still have my original rods I made that summer, but crafted some real nice ones last year, I continue to use them with good results. I suggest getting some cheap pens and take the ink tube out and use the pens as a set of handles to pivot the rods on, works like a charm! :)
I have heard this same story many times. Thanks for sharing.
I used the pieces that you drive gutter nails thru. The round cylinder piece. Worked great!!
This is called "dowsing" and is the same thing as a locator spell in witchcraft. In fact this is not using science at all, but it is using witchcraft to communicate with demons. I'm not kidding. In case you think it's the metal, dowsing is also done with plain sticks. It has no scientific basis. This is seriously a form of witchcraft, so much so that one of the names for water dowsers is "water witches". Seriously.
In thousands of years, dowsing has not held up to scientific scrutiny. If it were scientific, we would have uncovered it. It is not, this is demonic, it is a locator spell. Other forms of dowsing are using a pendulum, and chanting and casting spells. This is not a science, it is witchcraft like an Ouija board.
This method has nothing to do with leveling, or any other scientific instrument. This method is physically contacting demonic spirits to answer. It an an attempt to make contact with the spirit world. Many times, it is sheer luck that people find water (since it is everywhere), but other times, it is actually coming into contact with demonic spirits.
If you open up the door to the spiritual world, there will be severe consequences. It's likely that if you searched for water dowsers you would find that they often met with some unusual and terrifying fate. I am dead serious, do NOT do this because this is NOT science, it is witchcraft. You are "divining", asking the spirits for guidance, like an Ouija board. That is what this "method" is, because it is not grounded in science, only religion, it is the exact same thing as looking for a message from an Ouija board or holding a pendulum over a map to try to find some secret location. Dowsing has also been done to search for gold or gems or anything underground.
The truth is that if you dig anywhere, you are likely to find water. There is water under the Earth of almost everywhere. Just start digging and you will find water. You don't need to do locator spells like this, or other forms witchcraft. Water is everywhere.
Great idea on the pens. Thanks for sharing that!
That’s actually interesting, are you serious?
I found a buried well and the aquifer as it ran through the field. He's right. They're just coat hangers. The force comes through your feet. Step in the spot and they cross. Kinda gives you the willies the first few times but you can almost feel it in your feet.
this comment gave me life today ❤
Were you barefoot?
Nope.
It's the vibrations of the water, earth. Harmonic In a way.
Just thinking about what you said about the body has a natural sense. Many years ago I spoke to an old farmer. He told as a kid his Dad always used mules to plow, and said how much better they were. He said that mules were considered stubborn and stood still. He said that a mule could sense voids in the ground, like groundhog burrows, and wouldn't walk over them for fear of breaking a leg. Guess they have that strong sense.
that's interesting, never heard that before about mules
@@libertangolyrics3308 mules are waaaaay smarter than horses...
Ppl used miles an jack asses because they can see all four hooves they can see where each step is there for they won't step on crops that's why they use them at grand canyon but what you say is also true
When I lived in MT me and an old guy were talking about water. He said something I thought was interesting. In that part of the country creeks rivers or springs might be a long way apart. But deer, antelope etc have trails going to water. He said he believes it's because they can feel the water moving underground to the place where it comes out and they just sorta follow that underground water.
@@petemangrum6015 That is a very interesting idea.
I have heard that you can follow animals to where they "lick" the ground for salt and minerals. Older people called them "Salt licks". We could all benefit from watching the animals.
I'm a line finder for a large corporation. The guy that certified me showed me how to use rods to find our pipes. I laughed at him until we did it and then verified it with our line finder. I've done it several times now and have been within a foot every time. I don't know why it works but I've even done it with my eyes closed and had a coworker tell me when the rods crossed and uncrossed. Again it was within a foot.
I wasn’t sure when I watched your well drilling video. However I decided heck what do I know, and I copied your coat hanger and drinking straw design. Rods kept crossing in the same area for me, my daughter, and a friend of mine. Lo and behold hit water easy. Thank you for these videos and I believe now.
My father in law showed me this when we were trying to locate a sewer line. I thought he was nuts until I tried it for myself. It worked.
I believe that it is an imparted gift. I had never used them before, and as a kid I was shown the gift by a user, and I have been able to use them successfully after that time. It isn’t “witchery,” it is something that God (with understanding) allows mankind to use for the good of mankind.
@@jayham1970 There are many verses in the Bible about the "Gifts". Like 1 Timothy 4:14. 'Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you....
Read 1 Corinthians 12: 1 thru 31.
1 Corinthians 14:12
Exodus 31:3
2 Timothy 1:6
Hebrews 2:4
I believe that GOD has given us everything we need. We just need to Find IT. Many things have been forgotten, we just need to Pray for them. GOD bless you
I was a sceptic until I saw an old electrician I was working with in Wyoming locate a buried conduit using this method. We hydro dug it and he was accurate within 10”!
What you said about sensing things is interesting. Still not sure how I feel about dowsing, but this is the best explanation I’ve heard.
I guess dowsing rods kindof work like bugs' antennae that sense frequencies and whatnot.
Sir thank you! I've watched your well video and really learned a lot from you. I appreciate you!
My opinion is They work because of the electromagnetic field. As living things emit and use this energy within our nerves, it's similar to completing an electrical circuit.
Dont even bother with the hateful comments. These people will starve or die of dehydration; while you sir, would offer them water.
Dowsing rods have been used for millennia, ancients would either live on Riversides or dowse for water.
I am not doubting any scientific facts you are mentioning but people are encouraged to form a relationship with their rods by asking them things like; what way will you move for 'yes' or 'no' ect. The rods often move in response to the questions and there's nothing scientific about THAT and you know it. I am not worried about anything or full of hysteria. I am approaching this logically. This gentleman is openly admitting that he doesn't know exactly what makes this work. My own personal belief regarding how this works (not that this person wants you to have any beliefs) is that a spirit (good or bad) moves the rods. A good spirit (angel) would move the rods to genuinely help you. A bad spirit (''demon'') which is a rebellious angel on the other hand will move the rods with the motive of deceptively pretending to be an angel/ghost that's helping you so that you innocently and regularly keep in contact with it, which can give it the opportunity to cause mayhem in you life. Notice this gentleman said ''there is nothing special about me''. That statement could well indicate that an evil spirit is regularly making him feel very bad about himself. Since this person/anyone is not 100% sure how dowsing is done and offers no direct scientific explanation for how this works, it maybe wiser if he/anyone didn't do it in case they are getting involved with demons. The rods really do move, and there is no scientific explanation for this anywhere. Much more likely to be paranormal than natural. You can search for ANYTHING not just water ect and rods wouldn't know what your brain is looking for anyway. This is close to messing around with a ouija board, and you can't be sure of what comes through from the other side. It's logic not hysteria.
I used a set of coat hangars once when I was 12. My father's cousin showed me how to keep me quiet during a visit once. I found his water main. I did it again today for the first time since I was 12 for my son's in laws and found 4 good prospects in a 20 X 20 foot square. I will be 66 in 3 weeks. I don't have a for sure answer as to how it works. I don't think it's supernatural. I don't know if these are the answers but I have heard:
1) (THE CLAIM), If one happens to be witching over an underground flowing river, it could be a static charge similar to the "feelers" that come up from the ground to meet a cloud to ground lightening strike.
(TRUTH) With moving water, this sounds plausible. I have seen a static charge generator built out of a laboratory ring stand, 2 small rings cut from 3/4 copper water pipe, and a piece of wire. You ground one ring, put the apparatus under a water faucet set to drip through the 2 rings. When a sufficient static charge is built up, it will jump a bright spark. This is done with water dripping through 3/4 inch rings. Somehow, I doubt if one could obtain the same effect with 2 coat hangers through multiple feet / yards of dirt and rock. The lightening feelers are proven science. This is why if you're walking in or near a lightening storm, (DUMB IDEA, I KNOW!), and the hair on your head, neck or arms starts to stand up, HIT THE GROUND and hope it misses you. If you run, the feeler can "see" you as a low resistance path to ground and follow you drawing the lightening strike to you or you could unknowingly be running at the feeler coming down from the clouds hastening your demise. NOT by intelligence of the ground or clouds but by physics.
2) (TRUTH), EVERYTHING is made up of atoms which have an electric charge. By real world standards, this charge is way beyond microscopic. Not that you could see it but it is extremely tiny and takes things like the LHC or Large Hadron Collider at C.E.R.N. on the Switzerland / France border to measure it.
(THE CLAIM) is that the wires can move by absorbing some of this charge. Like poles of a magnet attract or repel just like the wires can cross or split. Neither of these explain how water "witches" who use "Y" shaped willow branches work their magic or the people who use non magnetic rods do theirs.
While above the earth, in a laboratory, one can make non magnetic metals react to electric charges as in the Laden jar using aluminum or gold foil strips and a Van Degraf generator. Two strips hanging by side in the jar will separate when brought near a charged Van Degraf generator or high voltage energized Tesla coil.
3) THE CLAIM) Spirits come up from water filled voids and move the rods apart invisibly.
(TRUTH) If this happens, BOTTLE THAT WATER, SLAP A 190 PROOF "EVERCLEAR" or "GOLDEN GRAIN" LABEL ON IT AND DO NOT TELL ANYONE WHERE YOU GOT IT FROM!!! THEN APPLY FOR A LIQUOR LICENSE. This is because the distillery up the hill from your house has sprung a leak and is leaching "spirits" into your well and you are seeing things. 🤣
Here's the funny part. I have 18 screws and 4 rods in my neck from between my shoulders up to my skull. This has nothing to do with water witching other than the fact that I can't stand up straight without bending my knees. I was out today trying to help my son's in laws because their well is drying up. My wires were straight out from my hands but at a 30 or 40 degree angle DOWN. Both times that I've done this, the wires go from straight ahead to split but today they were fighting gravity to split fast and wide enough to hit my shoulders and stay there until I passed the spots. My son asked if he could try it so I handed him the wires. As I said, for me, the wires split. He walked over my spots that he spray painted and the wires CROSSED for him. He was standing straight up and we expected either no reaction or a split. I was watching closely. When his crossed, I knew he wasn't faking because he didn't know that they could cross. He hoped for results like mine. I have no explanation why.
My son is 24 now and I had told him the story of how I'd learned this back when he was in grade school. He didn't take it seriously but when he was helping his father in law the other day, the dry well came into the conversation. My son jokingly told him that I could witch water and he jumped on it and told the land lord who approached me today while I was visiting my son and his family and installing a dishwasher. He even offered to pay me which I refused because I couldn't guarantee results plus I can afford 10 minutes to help anybody. I'd have done it if he was a stranger. For all I know, we found oil which is prevalent in that county. Then I might ask for gas money. 😁
...My opinion is They work because of the electromagnetic field...
I don't claim to have the answers but the electromagnetic field wouldn't account for the people who use brass brazing rods or willow branches as these are not magnetic.
@Just Moi yes! Very true, that's why rubber soled shoes are used. Cuts us off
As someone with an educating in electromagnetic engineering, this is exactly what I suspect as well, though I'd love to see a fellow scientist prove that out. 😉
I believe the metal rods basically just enhance our body's natural antenna and provide a visual cue as the gentleman said.
Thank you for a refreshing explanation of dowsing. It works for many of us, and we don't need to explain it to other people who don't believe. It is odd that people get so divided over a simple topic but welcome to society. Blessings.
Unfortunately his video does not explain how it works. It works because of kinetic energy and something moving under you. This can be seen in an experiment were somebody turns on a water hose and is able to get the wires to move but once the hoses off he cannot replicate it
Didn't believe it before today but yeah it works. What really proved it to me is it doesn't find treasure or oil or random voids it works really well finding underground utilities. Certain it has something to do with the change of your body's electrical potential when it walks over a material/conductor that affects the electric potential in your body when you cross over it. Changing the electric potential between the metal wires forcing them together when your charge changes. My theory personally given me witness it work REALLY well on electrical lines specifically.
Even non conductive materials or voids can make them work as a lack of material, or a change is material (soil to concrete pipe) have vastly different conductive properties, that will affect your body's charge when you pass over. I'm no expert but that miiiiight be how it's working.
List my phone in the snow today at work. After I looked and gave up, a coworker said he'd find it real fast if I could find him a metal coat hanger. He wasn't wrong! Found it within a minute.
Great Video! 👍 It's all about Body Wisdom, like when you're driving and wonder why you turned down a certain road then what you needed just shows up!
I always wondered how these worked. As a younger boy, I remember walking around a piece of property we had with my dad, which would later be a piece of property for our mobile home.. he had a pair of these in his hands, and I wondered about them.. but he wouldn't tell me anything about them as he said he was using them to look for water to dig our well. Sure enough.. found the water and had the well dug, never went dry. Just as of late my interest in using these peaked and wondered myself how they work. I have seen a video where a fella was using these to locate unmarked graves at a cemetery to remark them, thats what I plan on doing here as we have a really old cemetery with a few unmarked graves....
Awesome. Let us know how it's going. It would be spectacular if I'd learn the birthplace of my gr.grandmother. She's a real mystery. Orphaned but never adopted. She thought she was German. Her maiden name was Polish. Her DNA was Slavic. I mean wow.
This is a fascinating subject. I learned about this in the early eighties. I played with it one summer wile working on a pipeline project. I found some people can't do it at all and some can. Something at work here that is not quite understood. Thanks for your video
Your third eye has much to do with it. Meaning, your connection to the earth and all around you. You have to be grounded and sometimes folks aren't at that point, and may never be IN THIS PARTICULAR WAY. But my great grandfather was a well Witcher, I still have his rods, and my grandfather showed me how to use them when I was a kid. I am currently about to dig em out as all the new digital tools can't tell us how far the damage is NOR have they been able to know where to start digging in? My neighbors all want to try! Hope I can still do it?
The man that drilled my parents well in 1971 used dowsing rods to find the water. It is a really deep well but it’s an artesian well and it has been running strong since it was drilled.
That's because there's water everywhere, but depending on where you dig you might have to dig further or not but you'll almost always find water. They've done many experiments and these rods are a scam, they do not work. It's like a quija board, they only move if the person holding them moves them.
Exactly if they had used machinery they could have likely found a much better point to make the well shorter. Also the fact of it being an artesian well doesn’t affect if there will be issues with the well or if it will run dry

@@penny5334 actually it’s not an opinion it’s a fact a machine would do a much better job
This was really informative and I love the way you explained it! Thank you for your content.
I think it works due to electromagnetic fields (the Earth's magnetic field). Similar to how a compass needle can move. Water is a good conductor. Similarly, dowsing rods can be used to find buried metal and utilities.
An interesting fyi. The treaty banning whites out of the Badlands. 1874? Anyway a cartography of the entire area had been made and map completed. Gold was discovered by Custer and company. 1876 I think. Just say'n. They sure got'm didn't they.
You ever hear of Lay lines. I think that's how you spell it. Your idea sounds plausible.
@@ritamccartt-kordon283 it’s the earths natural meridians ❤🌎
I think it has something to do with it too. Since the first time I tried dowsing, it worked like a charm. And I’ve always had this issue with watches…I break them. Not like I’m clumsy and physically break them but if I wear a watch for like a week, it’ll stop working. Brand new batteries die. I’ve even had automatics stop running on my wrist. I’ve heard other people say that the6 have similar issues and claim it’s related to body chemistry and somehow something happens when a watch is left in contact with their skin, some kind of something or other causes the batteries to die. I have no idea what it is, but it’s been that way my whole life. I remember my parents getting upset with me because when I got old enough and wanted to start wearing watches, (shout out wearing two Swatch Watches on the same wrist) they were sure I was doing something to them to mess them up. Anyway, I’ve heard of others who are successful at dowsing say they have the same problems with watches. I’d really like to learn more about what’s going on, but no idea where to start.
Waters is an insulator, not a conductor, the minerals in water are whats conductive. We use pure water to clean electrical lines because its non-conductive
Hi,
I use the same method to locate plumbing pipes in properties. Never wrong. They find pipes under flooring when the owner doesn't know. Saves a lot of time when lifting flooring.
If you were not raised with this kind of life it’s very hard to understand and believe. I’ve grew up with this stuff and I’ve seen it work time after time. I KNOW it works.
It dont work bro
@@creamcheese4269 TROLL!
Don't brag about arrogance.
I personally had 2 well companies out on my mountain top property and they BOTH dowsed for water. Without ever contacting eachother they both traced water to the same source were my well currently is. Utility companies hire dowsers to work for multi million dollar companies. The process is legit and you don't know much.

That’s a very intelligent interpretation of how this works! Up until now I’ve just heard magic.
Great explanation! I've had the same frustrations for over 40 years. I can find all the normal things under the ground. Never said I could find a place to dig a well cause had no chance to follow a digger around to prove myself. Just this morning layed out a water line that a neighbor had a leak in. You're in the country, I'm more suburban, and I learned that you will get a false positive if you are under a large black telephone cable going from pole to pole. Anyway, great video, thanks.
Just located a sewer line and septic field for someone. Everything was right where I marked it when they dug. A huge sycamore tree was giving me fits.
@@TigerCreekFarmWhy the tree or it cannot be explained? Competing voids? I really want to know people or someone who does this. I called every person in my state listed as a member of the Society of dowsers.
Had a lady who owned her own Utilities locating company come out to my business today to try to locate old gas lines without the tracer wire. She used these and it amazed me. I never heard of them before and when she asked me if I wanted to try them out it was unbelievable. The gas lines were right there. I just bought some for the heck of it to show people. This video is great, cool ole country guy explaining how they work
I inspected and repaired septic systems most of my life. Dowsing 100% works for locating leaching field/tile runs. I could find the lines every time with a pair of coat hangers.
Any type of metal works?
Iron, Aluminium, Copper?
@@BSOE3058 Plastic tubing I saw made into a Y. I think it's the human psyche not metal. I did read that if dousing for mineral that using a bob that unscrews and has a well that you put the mineral in helps. Idk but it makes sense.
@@BSOE3058 Nearly all of the time. But it is the mindset and attitude of the individual that is key.
I owned a swimming pool company for 30 yrs, and I found buried cables every time with the rods, blew people away. I found water veins, and how deep down they were.
Surreal
How would you figure out how deep they were?
@@KevinMcC_7 When the rods start moving in toward each other is when the depth starts, and when they point to each other is when you stop. You can measure the distance to see how deep the dig will be. The electrical wires has to be live or it doesn't work.
PERFECTLY explained.. Grounding yourself with bare feet during this would amplify the connection. Thanks for sharing. xx
I use this method to find pipelines on my property. It works. I ha not heard the "void" explination before but it imminently made sense. Thanks.
Very thoughtfully explained and thorough. Thank you!
I as a kid could follow a water hose above ground. It makes me rethink dowsing. Thank you
Doggone skeeters!
I honestly clicked on this looking for someone to discredit dowsing rods but what he said is almost exactly how I feel

I happen to know a little about electronics and magnets.
For to copper or brass rods(which people say work the best) to be attracted to each other it has to be a coil, and then you need a lot more electricity the what the flowing water will make to magnetiz the two coils. For it to work scientifically you would need a transmitter to use those tiny electrons the water makes, to turn a switch on in the transmitter so that that higher volts and amps (from another source) to flow into the coil which would creat a magnetic field and the coil would be attracted to each other.
Another thing is they are called "divineing rods" which is occult. Look at the definition of occult.
supernatural, mystical, or magical beliefs, practices, or phenomena.
"a secret society to study alchemy and the occult"
synonyms: the supernatural, the paranormal, supernaturalism, magic, black magic, witchcraft, sorcery, necromancy, wizardry, the black arts, Kabbalah, cabbalism, occultism, diabolism, devil worship, devilry, voodoo, hoodoo, white magic, witchery, witching, orenda, mysticism, makutu, theurgy
adjective
of, involving, or relating to supernatural, mystical, or magical powers or phenomena.
"a follower of occult practices similar to voodoo".
Another thing
Willows are not magnetic and therefor cannot be attracted with electricity.
I have used this method for many years and try to teach. I had a friend From MIT a Nuclear Engineer say it can’t be done. I put him in the basement. I was on the first floor and told him every water line,power line and sewer line. I drove him nuts. And I did watch that vid on shallow well you did. I was happy to see you do it. Just the way I would have. Porsche Tech out
I used to use these all the time installing underground utilities.
Our bodies pick up changes in emfs caused by voids running water and power lines.
We had actual locator devices that could hook up to power water and gas and pump a radio frequency through the line and we could locate it with a receiver.... But everyone just used the "magic sticks"
Thanks for sharing your experience!
The house I grew up in (raised by my grandparents) used water fed by an underground spring, which was located by my grandfather using dowsing.
It does work, I don't know how, but it does.
I use copper wires personally, but you also have to think about what you're wanting to find and that can range from plastic metallic or literally anything else and also it tells you how many feet down, but as previously stated they only find what you want them to find, if you are in a state of mental distress I've noticed they will also not work, kind of like the compass on Pirates of the Caribbean... it finds what you want most.
@@theoutlander9564 How does it determine how many feet down? I heard a man say that they bounced but I didn't know if he meant each bounce was 1 foot, or 10 feet, increments. Thank you.
We used this device sometimes once a week with my job. We were trying to find mainly water lines, pvc, or metal configurations. Everyone had a different degree of reaction, physically or mentally about the use of these items. Some had very strong reactions and some none at all. I tried testing people who had a magnetism about them, who would stop watches, unintentionally, but had no effect using these rods. Sometimes we would get a reaction on a dry pvc. line, I'm "guessing" there was some sort of magnetism left by the water that used to flow in the pipe. For those who are dabbling with these rods, try walking through the target with your hands apart, and then again with the hands touching. Instead of rods crossing , the effect will be parting. I have no idea why, but what is.
They may not be magical but they are omni-directional and they react to metal too.
Trying to find sewer drain pipe, placed stones as marker in a straigh tline for about 30 feet where rods crossed. Dug way down and didn't find schit.
The pipe wasn't there but there was an electric power line above and it matched the stone line.. When dowsing don't forget to look up
before you drill down.
This made me laugh lolol because it’s something we all have done before. Not opened our eyes and had tunnel vision
i really appreciate how clear and effectively you communicated i can tell you put a lot of effort in, thank you brother
i also love your intro its very sweet
Two years ago there was some construction on my street. As I backed out of my driveway, I stopped to see what they were doing. The foreman was using dowsing rods ahead of the electronic metal detectors. I had to stop and ask the man if the was serious and he was. He said it works. I told him it was 2021 and not 1850. He laughed at me and then gave me a short demo. When I returned home later that day there was fresh asphalt at the spot he pointed out.
I’ve used dowsing rods to find more than things beneath the ground. I’m not into any mysticism, but they can be used for more than just water witching.
They'll work for anything you have in mind to look for. When you find water with them, it's because you were looking for water. I reckon if you put it in your mind to find your keys they may even work there.
It can also be used to find oil and untapped deposits. For oil put oil from oil wells in a jar of what type of oil u want to find. Same with metals just hold a few ounces or what ever size u have if it but a roll of 8 ounces works best for me. And how I feel it I feel the energy pulling out from my body into the rods the more energy that it pulls the more of the object is there. Also as the energy leaves u u will feel more drained but if u let go of the rods when u are being drained u will loose that source u are trying to find. Try my method if u wish just putting this out there cause it took me about 5 years to learn this all. Just makeing this easer if u want to try my methods.
@@Mike-gw9ytit does work. I have done it myself. It's crazy but they work with whatever u want to look for
I started dowsing back in the early 90's, and all of my family thought I was cuckoo. LOL, they still do. Not one of the six of them even acknowledges the fact I'm alive, let alone communicates with me.
Anyway, I couldn't count the number of people who have 'explained' how dowsing works. And they were utterly convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt they were right. And most of them couldn't find their arses in broad daylight with both hands. Not one of them has ever convinced me within a bull's roar, that they knew how the principle functions.
Right now, this is the first bloke that has hit the nail on the head!
'We're not magic', 'the rods aren't magic'. They are simply devices that indicate, via our body, the object(s) we are seeking.
And some of the stories below emphasize that point; that it's the body that is the real conduit of energy. The rods are just a visual indicator, just like the speedometer/tachometer on a vehicle. When I seek something and use rods in my hands, I can feel a magnetic 'bite', as if they were pulled onto a magnet, when they lock onto my target.
Thank you so much. I am very grateful to have learned this.
And, I, also couldn't care less whether people 'believe' dowsing works or not. I do not advocate the practice. I do not 'encourage' people to use them. I don't believe in them, the same way I don't believe in a hammer or a nail. The rods, and various other devices used, are tools, nothing more.
So, thanks again for this break through in my life. It is such a blessing, and a relief!
I love your explanation of things! I received a set as a gift and cant wait to experiment with them!
They defied the laws of physics. So they trully can not find water
@@franekorlowski5410 tell that to the thous of farmers like me that find water everyday with these

Dowsing
Note: written on Apr 15, 1997
"The practice of dowsing, using divining rods to locate water, is so common as to not be doubted, but no one, including the practitioner, understands how they work. Some humans can douse, but most cannot, so its recognized to be a talent or ability within the practitioner.
Dowsing works best when the dowser is allowed to walk about out in the fields and forest by him or herself, uninterrupted. When crowds follow about, they are less likely to find water, and many dowsers come unannounced at odd hours to assure themselves the privacy they require. Dowsers are called upon when all else fails.
Well after well has been dug, following the geologists recommendations on the lay of the land, location of local springs, emergence of underground streams or rivers, stratification of rock layers, and success of other wells in the area. In despair, the dowser is brought in, and against all odds and against all reason they point to an unlikely place and chances are that a well placed there will be productive.
What is going on during dowsing, and how does this work?
An oft quoted phrase is that man is 98% water, as is all plant and animal life. Water carries electric current, if fact so effectively that lightning will race through water as well as metal wires on its way to the ground. The human body senses electrical charges in the vicinity, as the movement of electrons in all their many forms is not isolated to where the current is running. An electric current creates an electrical field around it, just as a river of water causes humidity in the air nearby.
Humans are sensitive to electric current, as the higher rate of cancer in those who live near high tension wires attests. The dowser listens to what his body is telling him, a very quiet voice but a voice nonetheless. The electrical current in groundwater is stronger where the water has filled all connected air pockets that might act as insulators.
This fact has been noted by geologists monitoring earthquakes, as the electrostatic bursts increase as the ground comes under pressure preceding an earthquake. Geologists recognize that this increase in electrostatic bursts is due to compression of the groundwater. The dowser is locating, with his sensitive body, those places where the groundwater has collected and accumulated, coming under pressure in that it cannot easily leave.
The mystery of the divining rods is more easily understood when one understands that the divining rods are in fact the dowser's hands. The rods, extending from the dowser's hands, allow the dowser to note how his hands are reacting. They are a signal flag, helping the dowser note the whispering voice in his body that is saying "here, over here, there is a subtle pull toward an electrical current in the ground".
The pull is within the electrical current in the dowser's own body, which seeks to flow in sync with the electrical current in the ground."
Back in my “good old days” , we didn’t have linefind ...we totally relied on coat hangers when I was in the oilfield. For some reason I can do it but a number of friends can’t. Eyebrows get raised when this is talked about, I’ve felt the stigmatism. I found your shallow well video very informative, I told my wife that I was going to go out and find water on our property and I did and she smiled and said oh yeah right… So I put them in her hands and let her walk around after I had already checked the property. She totally confirmed my findings and couldn’t believe it actually worked. We now have an excellent shallow well producing 10 gallons an hour at 13 feet deep… Thank you so much for your informative videos, completely appreciate you!
Really ? That's neat , I will try it out tomorrow and then let my friend have a go too 😀
Dowsing is a true skill. It’s not magic, just science.
This is something I was also sceptical about. After watching this video I just cloud not resist and made two rods with coat hangers. I first tested it at our pool to make sure. I tried it 10 times to see how many times it would work and it literally worked 10 times. I know exactly where my water lines run underground because I put them there. I crossed it at different places and it worked every time. I was wondering if it was not somehow because I know where they are so subconsciously I was turning them. I asked my wife to please hold these 2 wires loosley and walk in that direction and they turned on the spot. I said that is amazing and she asked what and I told her what I was testing. She then also crossed it a couple of times at different places without knowing where it is an it literally worked every time. I am amazed.
Pat yourself on the back. As a skeptic you chose to try it to see for yourself. Most skeptics find it more useful to do nothing while continuing to call users idiots.
I twisted some from copper in 2013 and I can tell you, it felt like witch craft and just came across them now in 2022 and they still work the same.
Legit!
Worked in water and sewer for a long time. I watched this work day in and day out.
This video is more of an argument than informative. 😮 Never doubted it, just looking for how to…
I used this method to find a broken pipe (plastic). What prompted me to do this was a flooded (and I mean flooded) area in my front yard. Pipe must've been leaking for quite a while, weeks. Used the dowsing rods (wire clothes hanger), one in each hand to "locate" pipe. When the dowsing rods lined up together, that's where I started digging. I ended up digging a good 4' down, and missed the "actual" break in the pipe by about 4". That's the only time I've ever used a dousing rod, would like to learn more uses of it.
In my previous life I was a Senior Scientist for a major tech company in Silicon Valley. I retired to a 5 acre lot in the mountains and built a house, barn, garage and turned it into paradise.
I became curious about dowsing after watching some RUclips video's, so I decided to give it a try. I bought some 3/16" diameter copper wire and fashioned some dowsing rods. For reasons that I cannot rationally explain, they work. I can find water lines in PVC pipe, buried electrical lines, propane gas lines and irrigation lines. My wife can too, as can my son and daughter. My son was a major disbeliever and was shocked when it worked for him. For some reason my daughter is more successful than I am, she found an underground aquifer that I did not know existed. So, if you don't believe, try it!!
You are not alone. I have been contacted by several, science teachers, professors, etc who told me through science they can prove that it doesn't work - but can't explain why it does work for them. We all have a good laugh. There are some things that are beyond our ability to explain and it is difficult to accept without a good grasp of understanding. As you have discovered, experiencing something for yourself can be its own reward. Thanks for sharing.
I use these to find graves. Unbelievably accurate. As you cross the length of the body they stay crossed. Then open up as you pass. If you cross from the side, they will close at center of the person and then open immediately once passed. Also found an outhouse from a Victorian house in the city. Love it.
Exactly. That's why I like to use the term "voids" for locating.
Wow I will try tomorrow sounds very interesting
What did you have to do to find the old out house?? I found one back years ago because it had iron in it. I got the iron out and it was full of old glass. Bottles and jars. Had no ideal that was where the money is at. The old house place is gone, but I dug relics from the 1700s. Now I cannot find it again. I have tried dowsing it, but not having any luck. Any information would help. Thanks
@@jerryridley4114You gave me an inspiration. I have an old foundation about 15x15 in my yard. It's overgrown with grass and piled branches. I'm guessing it was the first structure either a cabin or cottage.
@@jerryridley4114Did anything work out?
really like your simple explaination. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
My Father was a Dowser, or a water Witch, I prefer Dowser. I don't know what he used, he died 10 months after I was born. He found our well around 1935. It was 32 feet deep, on a Hillside! It stay in operation until 1970. We drew water out with a rope and a Well Bucket! I was 16 years old when my Stepfather installed a pump and tank on it, with a Well house. It lasted several more years and then got muddy. The Well is still there, but un-used. It always fascinated me that it was on a Hillside and only 32 deep! He found many Wells in the area for various people. I talked to someone about cleaning it out, re-drilling it. Most said you couldn't. I can't believe that you couldn't clean it out. It is probably just silt that went in there. No one has thrown anything in it, it still has the Well House over it. I'd like to have it cleaned out and a hand pump put on it. I'm a 68 year old woman and don't know how to go about it.
ANY advice or suggestions would be appreciated. GOD bless
I'm certainly no expert but sometimes wells do just give out. Veins and porous areas that allowed water to flow into the well become filled, clogged or redirected. With a deep well you are really in a contained aquifer that can allow you to go deeper should the water level begin to suffer. With a shallow well, many times you are at the mercy of the groundwater contained in the water table.
You may want to try "washing" the well. It's kind of like digging with powerful jets of water. Seems like an inexpensive way to find out if reclaiming this old well is viable and worth your time. Good Luck!
I suspect the pump had too high a draw rate, and pulled in silt, which had never been a problem when water had been being removed slowly with a bucket. This happened to a good old shallow hand-dug well at a house we lived in years ago - it was good for many decades, with a bucket and then with an old, slow pump. But a new owner of the property put a faster pump on it, sand and silt was drawn in through the lining, causing the ground around to subside slightly. By the time we lived there the well was unused as it was too dirty, and the house was connected to a public scheme. I'd go ahead and see if you can clean it (I don't know if this will work), if that works just stick with taking water out of it slowly.
@@TigerCreekFarm Hello from TN. The pump was a shallow well pump. It had been on the well for about 7 years. It pumped at intervals, when the tank, that was attached to the pump, dropped to a certain level.
They were drilling for oil several miles from our house in the late 1960's early 1970's. As the crow flies about 15 to 20 miles. That's a total guess. I always thought it had something to do with it. The well had been used with a Well Bucket. You had to pull it up out of the well, then released it into a bucket for the house. My Stepfather put the Pump and Tank system in, about 1965 or 66.
I think that I will find another Dowser, and see where he finds water on the place. If he still finds water there, maybe it has dropped down. Could be sediment has filled it up.
My other half was a Drill Machine Operator. He drilled holes for Dynamite charges, for a construction company, (He also ran many other pieces of equipment for them.) It used water to drill if I'm not mistaken. He doesn't think that it, the Drill Machine, will work though.
I would be okay with using a well bucket to draw water. I do have a hand pump sitting in the shed too. That would be really good.
I will be 71 soon, and would like to get this accomplished before my time on Earth is up.
It would be nice to have a working well. I remember how clean and cold it was.
I never knew my Father, he seemed to be a versatile man. Jack of all trades. His profession was as a Carpenter. He built many of the homes in our area. He built our house. It burned down when I was 10 years old. Dowser was a sideline for him. He was a Veteran of World War 1. GOD bless
@@sjdennis3 Hello from TN.
The Well Pump was a Shallow Well Pump. It worked good from 1965 - 66 to about 1972. I always felt that the drilling of Oil Wells in the area caused the water level to drop.
I think I'll find another Dowser and let him see if he can find water on the place.
I have wanted this taken care of for a very long time. I appreciate your kind response. GOD bless
@@ritamccartt-kordon283 did you ever figure it out? Your father sounds incredible
I truly liked your explanation about the rods, thank you.
Kids raised by older people and farmers are the only ones who know the old ways
The way youve described it as its actually us who is the reading device makes a whole lotta sense. Your on to something there buddy!
Just had a town sewer company come out and used these looking for unmarked water main, last time I've seen them used was 15 years ago by town water company same area, in NJ. Les Stroud from the show survivor man had it done on his property to locate water, that was interesting because the person locating water also detected for depth using other tools.
I heard a man that did this in Oregon say that the rods bounce. That the number of bounces indicates how many feet down the water or object was. It may have been that the "Bounces" could have been in 5 or 10 feet increments. He was talking to another person, I was standing nearby.
In the Bible it says to continue to Pray for the Gifts. 1 Corinthians. GOD bless
We have electricity flowing through us. When you tell your finger to point the brain sends an electrical signal that causes your arm to come up your finger to come up and point. The wires are your nerves. When you hold this rods in your hands and walk when you walk across metal or water both of which conduct electricity. The electricity in your body hits the object, let's say water, comes back up and completes the circuit and causes the rods to Cross. I am not really good at explaining this but it's the electricity in your body that makes them work.
Thank you for the video! My Dad taught me how to use the rods to find water.
You got it. You don't need the rod. It's just handy indicator. We can sense when it is about to rain. We can sense all kinds of stuff around us. We are always connected to this universe. But many of us live indoors and hooked to our play stations and simply don't pay attention to our environment. Farmers learn the land. Native Indians learn that spirit is among us all and in us and in all the rocks and rivers and waters and land. Everything is connected so we can sense where everything is.
Thank you for the great information! Certainly a difficult subject to broach but you gave as close to facts as possible. The proof is in the doing as you said. Difficult for people to believe that we have natural skills that can be honed by the doing , practicing just like hammering a nail, sewing, shooting baskets, driving a car. Walking a tightrope looks unbelievable but some people do it daily, and dowsers find things daily.
It is really a disconnection from the past. How were wells found in biblical times? It's sad.
In my experience in working at a water distribution company for 12 yrs and use what we call a wand. Its just a plastic handle with a telescopic antenna that you can rotate out on a 90° or more angle. Basically like a bent wirw hanger. It works off of gravitational pull and the void has more or less pull which will guide the wire one way or the other. Just like a compass needle will seek north. I know it works for me. We had top of the line electronic locators and i would hands down trust that wand over them.
Watch out - they'll be calling you a nut ;-)
Agree. Find water, metal, electric lines and of course the direction of current.
I'm a pipe tradesman 38 years in the field.
About 35 years ago an old timer and I needed to locate a water line. We knew it was between 2 blogs. But didn't know where.
He used this wire method and walked until the wires crossed and put a line in the gravel.
I thought he was kidding, well I tried it. Those rods moved WITHOUT my help at the same place his did. We brought in a machine and excavated that water line. It's real, as a skeptic I did it. I'm not a skeptic anymore.
Thanks for sharing. My experience is similar.
I don't know how it works, and I was very skeptical, but I will say that it works. My grandfather-in-law had a forked peach branch. I thought, there is no way this could work because the peach branch is dead. He showed me how to hold it in my hands, hold it tight, and he had me walk around in his house at the time (this was several years ago, he is no longer living). As I walked, the tree branch started bending down, there was a strong pull toward the floor. He started laughing, and said, see I told you it would work! He told me that was where the water line was in the house. Freaky? Yes, it was, but it worked! I'm not a skeptic anymore!
Sounds like magic to me!! It's unexplainable. And you too are magical. ❤
I much appreciate your candor!
It trips you out when you first realise what the rods are actually doing. Once i figured it out with a little bit of a lesson from an old bloke. I found and followed the underground streem through my property. I believe if I'm to hold some gold in my hands it will also find gold I'll be trying this out as soon asi get some gold to hold.
When ai was about 8 or 9 I watched my uncle use dowsing rods to mark a spot for a new well. The guys running the drill rig couldn't believe it when they hit a spring...I am a believer.

That's because it doesn't work period
@@creamcheese4269 it does work😂
@@user-wz8uj3fw7q prove it
@@creamcheese4269 Santee Auto guy above did from his experience.
@@creamcheese4269 LOL I run a business and use this technique and it’s always spot on. Now go back to being a keyboard warrior in your moms basement
I am also sceptical. A water diviner came to our property, broke off a young Y - shaped tree branch, and started walking. The branch curved downwards at a spot, and we were told that there was water. I asked if I could walk over the same spot holding that y shaped tree branch, and nothing happened. The man suggested each one of us hold a leg of the Y shaped branch. So to picture this, my left hand and his right hand were holding the branch, whilst my right hand held his left hand. We walked over the same spot, and the branch curved downwards (quite forcefull) It happened, I cannot make it happen, but together with the diviner it curved downwards. I have no explanation for it.
I’ve never felt as comfortable with the forked limbs as I do the rods - but the unexplainable results are the same. Try finding existing buried cables and water lines for another unexplainable experience.
It’s magnetic forces from the movement of the minerals in water
@@americankid7782 That doesn't make sense. Wood isn't magnetic. Not even a little bit. Neither are minerals, least not most. And whatever small deposits of magnetic silt are flowing through the underground stream, it still wouldn't effect even an iron rod. It's underground and humans are like 6 feet tall, so you have ~4 feet of no contact, and an unknown amount of feet under the ground. If a magnetic principle that strong existed, your blood would rush out of your body if you stood next to a refrigerator magnet.
He was pushing it down bruh
@@mlevin7 Obviously. But he's pushing it down subconsciously, that's what's odd about it. I've done divining too, it's kinda a brain f***, it doesn't work until you let go of any notion that you're the one doing it. When you let your subconscious lead you, your instinct will find the water. Like how archers have a hard time with aiming until they stop consciencely letting go of the bowstring
We were having a swimming put in our back yard. I could not tell the contractor where the main water pipe was. He had me get a couple of wire hangers, and he bent them in the proper shape and he found the main line. A few years later I had a broken water line could not tell where it was broken and farther down in the back yard I knew there was a main line but not where it was. So I used coat hangers and shaped them just like the contractor did and guess what, I found the main line down in the back and was able to reroute it . I never found out where the break was, but it sure spun the water meter dial. So I know it works. Have a great day!
It's funny to me that when humans don't understand or can't explain something that's merely science, they say it's magic or evil. No. It's just science you don't fully understand. I think it's beautiful that although we don't fully understand some things, we are still able to figure them out enough to work them for our use and benefit. Thank you for the great video.
If diving were real... they would have already invented a device that finds water... like a stud finder you can buy for $15 that finds wooden studs behind walls. The fact that water is so important to life, that you can not live without it, yet you can live without wooden studs LOL.. you should ask yourself why they have not invented a device that can find water. The answer will be because there is no actually measurable force etc coming from ground water.
"There's nothing magical about me."
That beard says otherwise.
They work by magnetic fields, a small electrical charge is induced in each rod attracting it to the other rod. I had an electronics teacher in college teach us about them, large diameter copper works best. To prove it walk under some electrical power lines and see them really move. They detect running water best because the magnetic field is stronger. As far as voids like septic tanks, I assume there's a change in the magnetic fields around the void. The reason certain tree limbs work better than others is increased iron content in different types of trees.
I am not doubting any scientific facts you are mentioning but people are encouraged to form a relationship with their rods by asking them things like; what way will you move for 'yes' or 'no' ect. The rods often move in response to the questions and there's nothing scientific about THAT and you know it. I am not worried about anything or full of hysteria. I am approaching this logically. This gentleman is openly admitting that he doesn't know exactly what makes this work. My own personal belief regarding how this works (not that this person wants you to have any beliefs) is that a spirit (good or bad) moves the rods. A good spirit (angel) would move the rods to genuinely help you. A bad spirit (''demon'') which is a rebellious angel on the other hand will move the rods with the motive of deceptively pretending to be an angel/ghost that's helping you so that you innocently and regularly keep in contact with it, which can give it the opportunity to cause mayhem in you life. Notice this gentleman said ''there is nothing special about me''. That statement could well indicate that an evil spirit is regularly making him feel very bad about himself. Since this person/anyone is not 100% sure how dowsing is done and offers no direct scientific explanation for how this works, it maybe wiser if he/anyone didn't do it in case they are getting involved with demons. The rods really do move, and there is no scientific explanation for this anywhere. Much more likely to be paranormal than natural. You can search for ANYTHING not just water ect and rods wouldn't know what your brain is looking for anyway. This is close to messing around with a ouija board, and you can't be sure of what comes through from the other side. It's logic not hysteria.
@@libertangolyrics3308 do you always blame good/ bad spirits on everything you don't understand? People might not understand how microwave works but it doesn't mean microwave is operated by evil spirits. Same here. There is science behind it, we just didn't figure it out yet.
That's what I thought , I might have something to do with electromagnetism
@@libertangolyrics3308well that's one way to look at it and who's to say it aint right.
I use an ordinary metal hanger. Works “well”!
The first time I bent some brass welding rods and started dowsing, I could find pipes under ground.
I knew a old bloke who drove in his car, would stop put a peg in and actually say how deep the water is, he was 100% , never seen him make a bad job, he could even tell you the quality of the water
Well said, today I took my son with my dowsing rods and antenna and walk my friends field, found a place to dig and there it was in half an hour the hole fill back about 28”of water
in europe for centuries not to say thousands of years they used wood a branch cut off where it splits to make it look like a Y and used both hands to hold it thanks 4 sharing : )
Frequencies and magnetism are hugely untapped sciences. I think they hold the key to mind-blowing capabilities that we would not believe unless we saw it!!
Fun fact: they aren't "untapped sciences" and you don't know what you're talking about. Dowsing rods don't work

Dont know about finding water, but i found wisdom in this video
Gave the coat hangers to a friend of mine while I was trying to find a water line.. he walked over the line and they moved.. he tossed them in the air and called me evil....lol.. great vids..

The mystery of the divining rods is more easily understood when one understands that the divining rods are in fact the dowser's hands. The rods, extending from the dowser's hands, allow the dowser to note how his hands are reacting. They are a signal flag, helping the dowser note the whispering voice in his body that is saying "here, over here, there is a subtle pull toward an electrical current in the ground".
The pull is within the electrical current in the dowser's own body, which seeks to flow in sync with the electrical current in the ground."
My great grandpa on my mom's side used to use a split stick to find oil for big oil companies back in his day.
I have a underground water stream and im going to try this. I've never done this but seen old times use this with success
Im going to try this and hopefully I will have same results.
Thanks brother
Patience and a little practice. Try with buried pipes/electrical lines to get the feel.
"I'm certainly not magical" like we can't tell he's obviously a wizard dressed up like a mountain man. didnt even shave the wizard beard.
You got me.
I just wanna give him some bug repellent after watching him fight off bugs on his arms the whole time! LOL
So sad that ppl have forgotten magic. God is magic..and yes you are special.. we are all special. 😊
I saw my grandfather use this method to find water. It works!
Good video, i like the way you described it, I feel that it's something similar with our other senses. We have like 30 different sense not just 5, propioception for example..the ability to be able to know where our body is and touch our nose with our eyes closed
Thank you for this!
Would rocky terrain affect their accuracy? I live in a water-poor, mountainous region.
My guess is that you would get a lot of movement . Trial and error plus experience should help you hone in what to look for.
@@TigerCreekFarm thank you. We'll experiment with it. We build rain caches, but being able to consistently and cheaply make wells would save a lot of small farmers and shepherds around here.

Here is what I found. Perhaps have everyone you know try it, as not everyone can do it. For those who are fearful, let them read this as it is science.
Dowsing
Note: written on Apr 15, 1997
"The practice of dowsing, using divining rods to locate water, is so common as to not be doubted, but no one, including the practitioner, understands how they work. Some humans can douse, but most cannot, so its recognized to be a talent or ability within the practitioner.
Dowsing works best when the dowser is allowed to walk about out in the fields and forest by him or herself, uninterrupted. When crowds follow about, they are less likely to find water, and many dowsers come unannounced at odd hours to assure themselves the privacy they require. Dowsers are called upon when all else fails.
Well after well has been dug, following the geologists recommendations on the lay of the land, location of local springs, emergence of underground streams or rivers, stratification of rock layers, and success of other wells in the area. In despair, the dowser is brought in, and against all odds and against all reason they point to an unlikely place and chances are that a well placed there will be productive.
What is going on during dowsing, and how does this work?
An oft quoted phrase is that man is 98% water, as is all plant and animal life. Water carries electric current, if fact so effectively that lightning will race through water as well as metal wires on its way to the ground. The human body senses electrical charges in the vicinity, as the movement of electrons in all their many forms is not isolated to where the current is running. An electric current creates an electrical field around it, just as a river of water causes humidity in the air nearby.
Humans are sensitive to electric current, as the higher rate of cancer in those who live near high tension wires attests. The dowser listens to what his body is telling him, a very quiet voice but a voice nonetheless.
The electrical current in groundwater is stronger where the water has filled all connected air pockets that might act as insulators. This fact has been noted by geologists monitoring earthquakes, as the electrostatic bursts increase as the ground comes under pressure preceding an earthquake.
Geologists recognize that this increase in electrostatic bursts is due to compression of the groundwater. The dowser is locating, with his sensitive body, those places where the groundwater has collected and accumulated, coming under pressure in that it cannot easily leave.

In rocky / mountainous areas you have moving aquafers , that means you may have to drill through rock. You could find shallow wells too , or voids that fill up that are maybe easier to access.
Tesla said it’s the things we call magical that are from the realms of science that we know the least about, and therefore should be studying the most
I am probably alive because of my great great great grandfather found water on his land during a terrible drought. I believe. And I'm desperate to learn this skill
Cool! I just purchased so e rocky, hilly land near the mouth of Ozark country. There are caves scattered here and there on personal properties in my area and my hope is, that I will learn to Divine where voids are on that land. It should be fun and interesting
I am not doubting any scientific facts you are mentioning but people are encouraged to form a relationship with their rods by asking them things like; what way will you move for 'yes' or 'no' ect. The rods often move in response to the questions and there's nothing scientific about THAT and you know it. I am not worried about anything or full of hysteria. I am approaching this logically. This gentleman is openly admitting that he doesn't know exactly what makes this work. My own personal belief regarding how this works (not that this person wants you to have any beliefs) is that a spirit (good or bad) moves the rods. A good spirit (angel) would move the rods to genuinely help you. A bad spirit (''demon'') which is a rebellious angel on the other hand will move the rods with the motive of deceptively pretending to be an angel/ghost that's helping you so that you innocently and regularly keep in contact with it, which can give it the opportunity to cause mayhem in you life. Notice this gentleman said ''there is nothing special about me''. That statement could well indicate that an evil spirit is regularly making him feel very bad about himself. Since this person/anyone is not 100% sure how dowsing is done and offers no direct scientific explanation for how this works, it maybe wiser if he/anyone didn't do it in case they are getting involved with demons. The rods really do move, and there is no scientific explanation for this anywhere. Much more likely to be paranormal than natural. You can search for ANYTHING not just water ect and rods wouldn't know what your brain is looking for anyway. This is close to messing around with a ouija board, and you can't be sure of what comes through from the other side. It's logic not hysteria.
