@Timothy Exner I do this to find underground wires and gas lines. It's actually helped us to not hit miss marked or just missed lines when digging in stuff for construction. Now the whole talking to it thing is out there a bit.
While I've never heard of anyone "asking questions of dowsing rods" the basic principal of dowsing rods is 100% legit. If you've never tried expermenting with them, you should try them... especially given how cheap/easy they are to build and use.
I'm a utility lineman in New England and we use copper ground wire as dowsing rods to locate buried utilities (water, gas, electric, Cable TV and Telephone) when we need to set a pole that hasn't been Digsafed yet. It works.
It surprises me how so few (if any) science teachers show dowsing rods to their students!?? Dowsing rods are definitely a thing & they definitely work, however (given their simplicity) they're, of course, not going to out-perform modern electronic equipment, but given that they work at all, is pretty fascinating to say the least.
Many, many years ago a workmate told me he could dowse for water pipes, and of course I just laughed, and laughed at his bullshit. So, he demonstrated the technique with a couple of pieces of welding wire, and then I had a go. That certainly taught me a lesson, and I'm not so quick to dismiss such things now.

I use a tfr rod here in the UK that I bought from a chap there that makes them. I then use two small dowsing rids like your using when I'm over the target to get an accurate depth reading of the target as in many cases the target is deeper than what the detector can see. The two rods will cross over the target then you slowly walk away from the target and the rods will start to separate and at the point where the tips touch place a peg below and then measure the distance between the target spot and where the two rods touch tips. This will give you the target depth ! :) hope this helps guys it's how I find many of my targets here in the hills in England:)
I do directional boring and I dows for utilities all the time. I just use a piece of wire. It works by picking up the changes in the magnetic field caused by voids/disturbed earth. Hard to pick up things on top of the ground since they aren’t disturbing the soil
My great great grandfather was a prolific oilman in the mid to late 1800s. It had been reported that he used a dousing rod to find great oil deposits. He was once one of the richest men in America and sold his company to Rockefeller, which Rockefeller used to start Standard Oil when he was buying up smaller companies.
Chig I know that test didn’t convince you but I use them all the time in construction to find buried lines. I used them in Texas in the oil fields to find buried oil and gas lines before we trenched (saved our lives a couple times because they didn’t know the gas lines were there and a trencher rips them open easily, if the wind is blowing towards your air intake on your trencher and you hit a gas line the motor winds up until it explodes there were two company’s that lost guys that way when I worked there) I’ve also used them to locate stressed post tension cables in concrete floors (for plumbers and electricians that missed the walls and had to move their lines ) never tried relics but if it’s buried you can find it with rods, there are times you get a false signal for whatever reason so it’s not perfect but it does work for me thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

My wife and I are GPAA members and live in the lake pleasant area and there are some native American ruins in our area if you get in the north Peoria az area please come join us for lunch. That would be pretty Awesome. Take care buddy and be safe..... Ps Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄
yep.. dowsing is real guys.. your body is an electrical antenna.. send/receive. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, people are capable of this and it is real.
True story. On my Grandfather's farm his water well casing collapsed and he had to drill a new well. A guy he knew was a dowser and he had him come out and he walked the property around the house and on the opposite side of the house he got a strong signal; stronger than any other he found. Where the old well was he got a strong signal so my Grandfather had the water well drilling company drill at the spot on the opposite side of the house and they hit really good water at 50'. Say what you will but it made a believer out of him.
If devining worked there would be no relics left in the ground. Reminds me of these people who tell your future. How come they never win a large lottery prize?
@Detectorist Roz He might be but the fact remains he's trying to sell/convince something that doesn't work in any way shape or form whether he knows it or not. A grown adult man playing with rods, lol you can't get no more silly than that, lol.
its not always accurate, thats why, also most people try it once, they fail and call it mumbo jumbo, in reality it takes practice and patience to make it work, which none of you will ever find out unless you are open to experiment for a while.
We call it witching around here. I've used those little flag wires that electric/gas companies use to mark lines when I do it. We always double check where they have marked lines if we are digging and it's saved us a few times when they have miss marked or just plan missed lines underground. It definitely works but not everyone is able to do it. Had a foreman that didn't believe me one time that there was something where we wanted to dig and he then dug there and broke a gas line. He never questioned it again after that.
I have made several sets of dowsing rods. I’ve been using them for 30 years. They really work And I’ve used them to find lost objects, electrical lines and measure the human energy field. Another great video❤
Never mind, Chigg, these guys have no problem with their kids practicing 'divination' There's science, physics involved: momentary interruption of the earths magnetic field, not demons... so, RUN!!
My Dad doused old sprinkler pipes at the schools. They had no maps of where the pipes were so he found them by dousing. Science teachers would come out and tell him it was bunk. He just continued, found the broken pipes and fixed them. He taught me to douse. Now I have to try it for detecting. Neat.
My brother is an electrician. He has a guy he works for that dowses for underground cables. He uses two pieces of clothes hanger, very similar to what you're using. His results are uncanny!!
I've used wire coat hangers like these to find water lines. Worked every time. This technique was shown to me over 50 years ago. I wouldn't believe it at first.
Dowsing is my personal vendetta. Working for an underground utility that has to locate regularly I hear this ALL the time. In my experience, when push comes to shove nothing ever pans out. And I need to get the real locating gear out. Everyone seems to know someone that can find anything every time. Confirmation bias at its finest.
@@DeepVIDesigns Well, I'm a roofer/tinsmith, so it really doesn't affect me. But my bro holds a MD master electricians card, and my best friend does too. I've seen the guy work, but I could be fooled. These other two guys, I don't think so. They say he's legit. My mother retired from WSSC(water company). She was secretary for the head of new construction. They had a guy who dowsed. Everyone said he was faster and more accurate than the metal detector. I don't know, it might be hocus-pocus, but it really seems that there is something to it.
It works, and I've seen it, but not for everybody. Diviners use mulberry branches. I had a well dug in Iowa based on this and there was water at 60'. When I do it, it doesn't work, but if I hold hands with somebody (1 in their left and one in my right) for whom it does work, then it will work. Let that be a lesson to ya. Aloha, lao Shi Art
I've done it enough to see that there is something going on like, when they cross for me over and over again when I walk back and forth over certain areas. I can't explain that.
@@aquachigger It definitely works for some. I've seen it several times. But not for me. No, I don't know how - some say Satanic?? But the force is strong and if using fresh wood like mulberry branches, and the pieces are held tightly, they will move forcefully and strip the bark off in your hand. Aloha
Hey Chig! My grampa could tell you how deep and how much cubic feet it was running when he water witched . People would and did hire him for this talent . Tried it myself many times , it does work . Take care now .
When I worked as a electrician we tried this while waiting for the underground survey company to find utilities. It always worked that we could douse the area as well as the detectors the underground survey company used. We just couldn't distinguish between water, gas, or electric.
Back in the '70s a Chief Telephone Technician in the Coast Guard showed me how to find buried cable using #6 copper wire. I have found cable and water pipe. If there is a lot of crap in the ground, all bets are off. Never tried to find something small.
It's all hocus pocus, I have a really really nice bridge for sale, it's a marvelous bridge, and you'll never see a better one like it, and at a great price, and the location is wonderful, you can't beat the location 👍🤥
Dowsing works. My mother had a water witcher find water on her property, the well was so good that when the drill broke through, water gushed out. The guy that drilled the well was shocked. The water witcher left his dowsing rods, I tested them to see if they worked. I threw a penny down a dark hallway and found it every time. The rods would vibrate a little and cross over each other right on top of the penny. pretty cool.
ive used one it is very strange how it does move. .i used a piece of a brazing rod that i bent part silver part copper i believe then you hold them just right between your fingers so they can swing .
I'm a believer. My grandfathers well went bad when I was around 8. Him and my uncle played around with some and I saw them doing so of course I wanted to try. I'd mark a spot the rods crossed with a little rock or two and keep going. Turns out I marked out an old water line from an old pump house to the garage. I also marked a spot they drilled that had I believe 40 GPM water. They ended up finding a spot around 120 GPM. Pap told me a few years later that marked out that old water line and I was shocked lol. 8 year old me was just excited to be doing something new to me and interesting and I was happy because I thought I was finding stuff. This was 22 years ago so we didn't really have phones to play on and gaming consoles were in their young stages. I believe it's a bit of a deeper connection. I don't thinking everyone can do it, I doubt I could still have that same success as when I was young. Just know that there's more to everything than meets the eye. Also we called it water witching.
I've been a plumber all my life....and the lucky backhoe operator. In my town....they mark utilities....other than the water line. I use those rods to find the waterline and it works 100% of the time. Only time it fails is if there's been a wet season and will cross on a root of a water maple. Don't know how it works...but for buried water lines....100%
I've found gas lines that were missed when people were out marking there area before digging for sewer lines. The only time we hit a gas line was when a new foreman wouldn't believe me something was there and he ended up cutting the gas line. He never questioned me again about it.
Dowsing takes practice. If you have material the same as what you are dowsing for you can attach a small matchbox or similar to one of the rods and put the same material inside. This helps keep focus on the type of material you are looking for. If you are looking for a lead bullet, attach lead to the rods or sometimes just holding lead in one hand or in a pocket is enough. Staying focused on the type of object being dowsed for is everything and the minute you doubt yourself or the process it weakens the receptivity between your body and the rods.
When I lived in Montana, my dad had a prospecting friend. He was a real old guy, been around a while. He had a pill bottle suspended by string and filled with about an ounce of gold. He would hold it steady even inside with no wind. I swear that thing would pull towards the mountains. One, gold is heavy and it’s on a string. There is no way to make the weighted string go slanted and pull or manipulate it like you could do with these rods based on wrist or palm movement. Crazy thing was it always pulled towards the same spot, which was where the old man’s mine was and where he got the gold that was in the pill bottle.
Ive seen alot of people try to use dowsing to find underground sewers it never worked. By a lot i mean like 600 times for sewers i dug with an excavator
When I used these if I held my hand apart the rods would cross. If I held my hands together, touching, they would rotate outwards. I used them to find sewer pipe, water and gas lines. Of course there were many times that I found a void in the ground. I had a pair made from welding rods that were 3' long, they would cross and bounce too.
It is almost like using a Ouija board, except you are telling your own self to sense the magnetic frequencies that objects are sending. The human body is a real sensitive energy detector, we are the operating system that is delegating the commands of which frequencies we choose to find. Our bodies already sense everything just walking passed something in the earth. Awesome video Chig
This was from a time where people believed witchcraft more than science or geology. Doesn’t take a genius to work out where water might be. But you’ve got a good heart for trying Bo 👍🖖🍺
But it does work for finding electric lines, water and gas pipes. We use it to double check after people have come in and marked stuff out for us and it's saved us a few times when they have missed something.
We call them "witching sticks" where I'm from, I've used them to find water and lateral lines, just make them out of wire coat hangers, I'm to cheap to buy them 😬
Chigg, you need to have a piece of gold in your hand touching a rod. A gold wedding band would be fine but want to find gold nugget, well you need to hold a GOLD NUGGET. The rods need to sit into a piece of pipe with a cap on the bottom so that they can be free of any pressure tension or friction from moisture in your hands. For instance take a piece of copper wire wrap say like the handle of a hammer or the handle of your socket wrench driver handle. And make sure that your end of The Wire double backs on itself up in the bottom. And pull the copper wire part a little bit and then drop the dowsing rods into your Carpenter spring coils handles that you made so that the rods can move freely
To be sure: the effect does exist in my experience. I'm not so sure if it can actually be used to find anything though. I've only used it once, to help my dad find a water pipe. It did work and we found the pipe in the middle of where the dousing rods crossed, but then again we had a general idea of where the pipe should be. So that wasn't a fair test of it's effectiveness. An interesting thing happens when you tap the ground with your foot when the rods cross. Lift the lower leg from the knee at about 90 degrees angle, and then tap the ground. They begin to uncross, and it takes different amount of taps to uncross the rods completely on different locations. According to a dousing person I knew a long time ago, this was how one determines the depth where the water was (people were paying him to douse for water when they wanted to dig a well). Each tap was about a meter of depth, supposedly. I'm not convinced this can actually be used to find anything, and it's probably a reaction to the conductivity of the soil or whatnot. This video is actually a blast from the past for me. I may go back to experimenting with this stuff in order to determine what kind of an effect this actually is. I suspect it's electrostatic, but the last time I played with dousing rods I was still a kid, and didn't knew much about proper scientific work: eliminating and/or adjusting for variables during an experiment, confirmation bias, double blind trials, etc.

My Grand Dad New How To Do It For Water. Seen Him Find a Old Well One Time.😉👍✌.
ive used one it is very strange how it does move. .i used a piece of a brazing rod that i bent part silver part copper i believe then you hold them just right between your fingers so they can swing .

I'm a believer. My grandfathers well went bad when I was around 8. Him and my uncle played around with some and I saw them doing so of course I wanted to try. I'd mark a spot the rods crossed with a little rock or two and keep going. Turns out I marked out an old water line from an old pump house to the garage. I also marked a spot they drilled that had I believe 40 GPM water. They ended up finding a spot around 120 GPM.
Pap told me a few years later that marked out that old water line and I was shocked lol. 8 year old me was just excited to be doing something new to me and interesting and I was happy because I thought I was finding stuff. This was 22 years ago so we didn't really have phones to play on and gaming consoles were in their young stages.
I believe it's a bit of a deeper connection. I don't thinking everyone can do it, I doubt I could still have that same success as when I was young. Just know that there's more to everything than meets the eye.
Also we called it water witching.
My uncle mentioned having a clean pineal gland helps with the process!
A lady in New Carlisle Ohio found over 60 thousand dollas in coins using the rods. My dad usd the rods to find our old well casing in Tennessee .
YEAH!!! LOL
I've been a plumber all my life....and the lucky backhoe operator. In my town....they mark utilities....other than the water line. I use those rods to find the waterline and it works 100% of the time. Only time it fails is if there's been a wet season and will cross on a root of a water maple. Don't know how it works...but for buried water lines....100%
I've found gas lines that were missed when people were out marking there area before digging for sewer lines. The only time we hit a gas line was when a new foreman wouldn't believe me something was there and he ended up cutting the gas line. He never questioned me again about it.
Dowsing takes practice. If you have material the same as what you are dowsing for you can attach a small matchbox or similar to one of the rods and put the same material inside. This helps keep focus on the type of material you are looking for. If you are looking for a lead bullet, attach lead to the rods or sometimes just holding lead in one hand or in a pocket is enough. Staying focused on the type of object being dowsed for is everything and the minute you doubt yourself or the process it weakens the receptivity between your body and the rods.
When I lived in Montana, my dad had a prospecting friend. He was a real old guy, been around a while. He had a pill bottle suspended by string and filled with about an ounce of gold. He would hold it steady even inside with no wind. I swear that thing would pull towards the mountains. One, gold is heavy and it’s on a string. There is no way to make the weighted string go slanted and pull or manipulate it like you could do with these rods based on wrist or palm movement. Crazy thing was it always pulled towards the same spot, which was where the old man’s mine was and where he got the gold that was in the pill bottle.
Reporting in.
Keep up the great fun 👍
Ive seen alot of people try to use dowsing to find underground sewers it never worked. By a lot i mean like 600 times for sewers i dug with an excavator
I've been using them for the past 25 years to find water lines, water mains and various voids. They work very well
is it best to be bear foot so you are one with the earth ?? or do boots not make any difrince
When I used these if I held my hand apart the rods would cross. If I held my hands together, touching, they would rotate outwards. I used them to find sewer pipe, water and gas lines. Of course there were many times that I found a void in the ground. I had a pair made from welding rods that were 3' long, they would cross and bounce too.
I knew about water but relics. hehehe Crazy COOL
I've never tried finding relics doing that but it works finding water do doubt
It is almost like using a Ouija board, except you are telling your own self to sense the magnetic frequencies that objects are sending. The human body is a real sensitive energy detector, we are the operating system that is delegating the commands of which frequencies we choose to find. Our bodies already sense everything just walking passed something in the earth. Awesome video Chig
Is this in pleasant valley off of rt. 67 close to Brownsville
I know it works to find water pipes and water to drill for. But I have heard of them used to find other things. All I found was water lol.
It's about your intention
This was from a time where people believed witchcraft more than science or geology. Doesn’t take a genius to work out where water might be. But you’ve got a good heart for trying Bo 👍🖖🍺
It works. But I understand. You've been indoctrinated to trust the science.
But it does work for finding electric lines, water and gas pipes. We use it to double check after people have come in and marked stuff out for us and it's saved us a few times when they have missed something.
They are not asking to find the bullet, they are not focused nor did they ask for the direction to go.
Do you know more about this subject? I'm curious about it.
I have found veins of quartz that contained free milling gold using dowsing.....
Wow alat yang bagus kawan smoga sukses👍
Dowsing works. Sometimes, but it works.
having dowsed myself, i could see it working for large objects. but not so much small ones.
it definitely works for water, never thought to try it for other stuff. kinda blew my mind the first time someone showed it to me
We call them "witching sticks" where I'm from, I've used them to find water and lateral lines, just make them out of wire coat hangers, I'm to cheap to buy them 😬
Dowsing rods = the original metal detector.
Old witches way ti find wayter
Dowsing rods work for water, definitely. It may also work for anything you are searching for.
Chigg, you need to have a piece of gold in your hand touching a rod. A gold wedding band would be fine but want to find gold nugget, well you need to hold a GOLD NUGGET.
The rods need to sit into a piece of pipe with a cap on the bottom so that they can be free of any pressure tension or friction from moisture in your hands.
For instance take a piece of copper wire wrap say like the handle of a hammer or the handle of your socket wrench driver handle. And make sure that your end of The Wire double backs on itself up in the bottom. And pull the copper wire part a little bit and then drop the dowsing rods into your Carpenter spring coils handles that you made so that the rods can move freely

To be sure: the effect does exist in my experience. I'm not so sure if it can actually be used to find anything though. I've only used it once, to help my dad find a water pipe. It did work and we found the pipe in the middle of where the dousing rods crossed, but then again we had a general idea of where the pipe should be. So that wasn't a fair test of it's effectiveness.
An interesting thing happens when you tap the ground with your foot when the rods cross. Lift the lower leg from the knee at about 90 degrees angle, and then tap the ground. They begin to uncross, and it takes different amount of taps to uncross the rods completely on different locations. According to a dousing person I knew a long time ago, this was how one determines the depth where the water was (people were paying him to douse for water when they wanted to dig a well). Each tap was about a meter of depth, supposedly. I'm not convinced this can actually be used to find anything, and it's probably a reaction to the conductivity of the soil or whatnot. This video is actually a blast from the past for me. I may go back to experimenting with this stuff in order to determine what kind of an effect this actually is. I suspect it's electrostatic, but the last time I played with dousing rods I was still a kid, and didn't knew much about proper scientific work: eliminating and/or adjusting for variables during an experiment, confirmation bias, double blind trials, etc.
