- Old timers used a technique called dowsing or witching before they drilled wells. We spend thousands of $$$ and see if it works.
My Grandpa was a master plumber pipe fitter started when he was 16 and continued well into his 80s.. I remember watching him take two bent coat hangers and walk around until they cross.. wherever they would cross there would be water...
I even remember watching him find unmarked water lines..he would dig them up and they would be right there.....believe what you want to believe, but I've seen it with my own eyes
Can you be more specific? Copper hangers? How long?
Yeah, it's definitely one of those things that sounds insane but once you see it you just can't deny it
@@alyasfukename3355 It's not real. there is ground water everywhere. And if you could get a magnetic field from water in a pipe standing still, we would have free energy across the entire globe.
@@Connection-Lost It is real. I went into it as a skeptic and experienced the pull. Back and forth over a hot spot and there was no mistaking what I was experiencing.
I was not able to test it with an actual well, but the phenomenon is very real.
Thanks to YTer for taking the risk and drilling, and showing there's truth to it. When the time comes for me to replace my 30 yo well I will definitely rely on a dowser before an engineer and their witchcraft.
There's water underground. The real test it drilling where they say there is no water.
lol yeah its total BS. drill anywhere you will hit water just a matter of how deep. buddy works for Arcadia drilling and they dont use witches at all and have never not hit water
I think a better 'real test' would be to have a dowser come in AFTER they find 'no water', dowse a spot, drill and find water.
It's a test that I have seen conducted...and passed. The dowser put the driller into water within 60' of the surface after the driller had drilled three other spots to as much as 200'; the driller didn't pass through water at 60' on the way down either.
:}} that's funny
drill two wells, one where they say it's the best spot and one where they say there is very little or no water.
both wells will produce the same amount of water because science :}
But considering wells were hand dug do you think there is something to the depth of the water to be had?
@@duroxkilo a total lack of understanding of underground geologic formations. Science does NOT back you up.
I have a neighbor who wants to take about 0.8 acres of our land through adverse possession. One of their tactics is to hide their plastic gutter downspout drain extensions which were buried 12 years go by their original house owner under their lawn and onto our property which was unoccupied at the time. I realized it after watching their pattern of behavior, always walking on my land and looking for something in the same places. Then one early morning we caught the lady escorting a contractor to the property line and him sneaking around in the woods on our land. I went out and found a dug out plastic pipe exiting into our stream from the direction of their house. Then I found another one of their buried pipes by focusing on other locations they spent a lot of time looking around and just poking in the ground with a trowel. It was easy -- I found it in about 30 minutes. But now I want to know if they have any more so they can't file a quiet tile claim against us for another buried pipe which they may not even know the location of -- because the courts are screwy and may just award them title for a pipe they don't even know about. So I got two wire coat hangers and dowsed my own yard near my house where I know the location of all my buried downspout pipes are my foundation tile drain pipe. It worked. I held two cut wire hangers -- one in each hand so they are at a right angle, and walked slowly and one of them jumped a little but the other one would go haywire just before I got to the buried plastic pipe that likely had little water in it because we have had a drought. I have no idea how or why it works but it does work using a wire hanger for me. Now I am going to go find the neighbor's other pipes -- if they have them. And I will videotape my actions so the court will know how I found them and that they were not otherwise visible and that it works -- so if I dont find one, I'll know with a great likelihood that there isnt one.
There's not a single state where adverse possession allows someone to claim a piece of your property just because of a buried pipe.
@@shawnsg That is not correct. No adverse possession law in any state gets into any specifics except for NY's modified law which does thankfully for the citizens of NY specifies that many specific activities are permissive in nature which makes them non-threatening. But for the rest of the states you have to read the case law to see how the circuit and appeals courts see certain actions and there have been cases in my state where title was determined by the placement and maintenance of a buried drain pipe. Jus google drainage pipe and adverse possession and you'll find articles and some case law that shows this.
One thing I'd like to make very clear to those who've never used a branch to douse, and have used only the rods. The "feeling" is totally different. I've used both. The rods move but with little resistance since they are inside cylinders usually and you do not feel a downward strong force because they are designed to rotate horizontally to the ground, whereas when the branch begins to "pull" downward, it is as though a man has grabbed the end of your branch and is literally forcibly pulling it down in a STRONG way. It feels like someone or something, is physically pulling down on the branch you are holding. And pulling HARD. But there isn't anyone there! It is a crazy, unexplainable sensation.
It's also known as gravity
@@craigandrew6409 I would lean more toward magnetism of some sort. Gravity is theory that applies to heavy objects but leaves a butterfly to flutter...he's referring to a strong forceful pull..
Yeah! So crazy! Almost fake it's so crazy! Stop guys a stick won't find water 160' deep in the ground. It's silly, it's preposterous. I know so many of you have completely and totally bought into it but the reality it ground water is everywhere. They don't know how much or how deep.... hmmm... so pretty much yeah you can just slap a spot anywhere and start drilling. You might hit water at 15' you might hit it at 2000' we don't know. But we definitely know there is at least 3 gallons of water right here in this spot. Lol I can't believe the crazy shit some of yall fall for!
@@craigandrew6409 if gravity all of a sudden started PULLING something down when it didn't just a secondary ago.....what would that mean?? Extra gravity lol
@@AngieCee1 A subtle twist of the wrist, gravity does the rest
When I was 9. Yrs old we had a mam come to withh a well and it worked where we were building a house. We had a well dug where the stick pointed and hit water 30 ft down. Dad said this was how everyone found their wells. I remember I was amazed by it.
basically there's water everywhere and dowsers get lucky. you could have drilled 200 feet away and still got results.
@@coreymagin But how much would it have cost to Drill at that spot 200 Feet Away??
@@coreymagin Not true - as a hydrogeologist I can tell you it works and your explanation is untrue and wrong.
@@eielson1978 he is saying you can drill anywhere basically. The depth you have to drill won't change much in a few hundred foot distance because groundwater, like normal water, tends to level out.
Had the experience when my supervisor was looking for electrical conduit in an area of field we had to dig at a school! He used #10 solid copper wire and he told us to dig where they crossed so we could know what direction the pipes were going. We dug and I became a believer that day!!
3 things - your supervisor may very well have installed that previously.
- any electrician can quickly identify where a conduit or conductors travel using a tracer
- I can look at most jobs I do and guess exactly where the conduit will run by looking at sources, fixtures, poles ... there are too many context clues.
Plant Comfrey (about ten feet apart) around unwanted brambles, like blackberries and it kills them off.
My grandpa witched for water is what we called it. He was born back in 1915. That is how they did it back then and the best way to do it today. He was very successful on many farm wells and house wells to and garden wells!!!
My grandpa did too! He was born in 1903.
I saw it the first time when I was about 12 years old. An old timer used slip joint pliers and stuck a wooden stake in the ground. He went back to his car and came back with a copper brazing rod. He stood over the stake line he was holding a fishing rod. It started bobbing and he counted and said we would hit water at 60’ but it wasn’t a good vein. He said drill to 130’ for good water. He was within 5’ on both.
I dowse for many things... water is just one! I have found keys, glasses, cords... you name it. It largely has to do with connecting with a vibration / item... picturing it... and then having the faith that you can and will find whatever it is you seek. Not everyone can do this... but I think with practice... anything is possible! Great Video ty!
How do you manage to successfully breathe when you are this dumb?

I've used witching sticks to locate water lines when digging holes to set new powerline poles. An old Mexican dude taught me when I was a groundhand, and it's never failed in the 7 years I've been doing it.
Some people just refuse to believe in the divine and I guess that’s ok. Most people can’t explain conciousness either.
So because consciousness can't be explained by science, that makes this pseudoscience of magic water sticks believable to you? How many Trump voters are on this thing? Jesus Christ! Humanity is doomed with this many idiots wandering around.
My dad was a telephone lineman for Pacific Bell (later ATT) from the 80’s - early 2000’s and he and the other old engineers would use the metal rods version to find cables buried under ground that needed replacing or to map really old ones. Rods were Company issued!
Pacific bell also passed out to there workers “standardized plugs” that workers would take home and put in there wives asses since they were technically enough in length and girth to be butt plugs. But hey i guess that rod was probably an anal plug retriever if it gets too deep.
Still are for a lot of companies.
We still use them on occasion to find underground power lines before the locator comes out to mark them just to see how close we can get.
I dont believe you can dowse for water but i wave also seen ibew linemen dowse lines out of the ground with scary accuracy
Also a lineman here. Very common. Wish I could explain how it worked. Would be the key.
My great-grandfather used to do it for a living he says it has a lot to do with the souls that are on your shoes whether it works or not for you
I think the water creates a frictional charge as it runs through the rock. It’s a very weak charge. Witchers I have run into are very sensitive to electrical current. I am mildly sensitive, it works if they have the other end of the stick or rod. The last time I drilled a well I had 6 different withers come out. 4 got a hit where we drilled. All but one used copper rods. Copper is a very good conductor of electricity. Got a great well in hard rock, water runs in veins in hard rock.
My husband has witched for allot of people & always gives his best guess at depth & gallons per minute its amazing how close his guesses are when well is drilled = it don’t work for me but I’m scared cuz i don’t want to feel a ghost thing = are daughter has never tried to witch BUT all threw school her brain just sees the math answers from first grade all the way threw to collage = she’s really bad at showing her math work & says it’s dumb cuz once you know the right answer that’s all that’s needed NOW from your video I’m wondering if this is a genetic skill cuz my husband can’t just see math answers but he’s real good at how deep & how much water before paying a drilling company 🤔
That first 5 mins reproduced my experience as a young boy exactly. One of the neighborhood kids had a thin forked branched and was demonstrating this in his front yard to a whole gaggle of kids. I'd say maybe half of us could do it and the other half, not. It worked for me. No idea why, but I recall the strangest sensation as the stick began to point down. It felt like it was being pulled down by an attachment to some spot on the ground, as though a string was tied to the tip of the twig and was being pulled down to a spot on the ground. Then, as you'd back up a step slowly, the force pulling the tip of the twig downward would relent, and it would elevate again. Forward, pull down, backward up. I could stand in position and rock forward and backward and watch the tip of the branch pull down and come up, pull down and come up. That is how precise and sensitive this was for me as a 10 year old. There was a very definite, palpable force pulling on the forked branch (very thin). NO WAY was I subconsciously moving the branch. The force was not weak! It was substantial. I think using the two metal rods may be much easier to introduce artifact by accidentally subconsciously moving your wrist ever so slightly, since those types of rods seem much more sensitive to wrist position and movement, but a full-sized cut wooden forked twig is far more resistant to movement by tiny inadvertent movements of the wrist. I would postulate that metal rods sitting inside very slippery sleeves would be the easiest to accidentally move.
dowsing is a scam.
@@michaelcohen9363 Might be for sure. I wonder if anyone has ever done a really good, well-controlled experiment to see if water is found more frequently than by simple chance? Some people say the rod or the branch moves for them and other people say it doesn’t do a thing in their hands. Two science degrees later and I haven’t the foggiest idea how a wooden twig produced a force against my hand but it did. Whether it was moving over something deposited in the ground or water, or some kind of other field, is a whole different question but I have no idea on that either because we were kids and dig anything. Just walked around the yard amazed that the stick was curling down on its own sometimes. But no doubt there have been people who used it to scam others.
@@centerice It's psychosomatic. There is no force produced, or otherwise it would be incredibly simple to measure.
@@centerice I have no idea why it works other than we do have metals in our body and there is a thing such as grounding when we walk barefoot on the ground so I could see there being some magnetics working there. But anyways my friend during a major drought here in South Carolina had their well dry up everyone's well was drying up this was probably about 14 years ago maybe. Anyway they had some Amish people come out that do the water dosing. They walked all over the yard I believe they were using a metal rods and they found a spot right next to the well almost that had dried up and said this is the main area of water. You're well just needed to be moved over a little bit from where it was placed. They dug that well that day hit water and it's never dried up in these 14 years whereas the other one has remained dry. It's no wonder that things work for some people and not others we are different chemical compositions a little more of this a little more of that for each person. That's why some things are toxic to some people and not to others
I use L-rods I made from spring steel. No copper handles. I’ve not only found water for wells but found lost septic systems. I set 3-5 flags in a row, not just one. That way I find running water. I personally believe it is electromagnetic fields where water passes through the earth through the channels of water.
As a kid growing up in rural Oregon in the 60s, I can remember our Nieghbors helping folks find water. It was only Grand Ma Martella, who was the expert. We had two viens of water in our valley. The one around 135 feet was okay. But the deeper one at around 175 foot depth was better. It was only 78 yr old Grand Mother Martella whom could distinguish between the two. Later her granddaughter Found She had the Gift too. The Martella family had immigrated to America from Finland. It was part of their Finish belief that certain Woman had the best abilities to water witch. Anyone know more about this ?
superstitious nonsense. Why do you need a witch if you literally know the different aquifer depths? Just drill to the required distance...
I believe it to be a gift that should be used to help people. Must have something to do with electro magnetic forces. I use it in the desert country I live in to find water. In granite, you can be off 2 meters and not find water, so you have to be very precise.
Sooooo where just casually using magic and we not gone talk about it 👁 👄 👁 love to see it love to see it
I don't doubt they work, I've seen it used finding water lines. However here in my area, pretty much anywhere you drill you will hit water, but an old timer used to use this, he always found water in the shade in summer, and in the sun in winter. As I said I believe it works for some, and is needed in some areas
There are no water lines. Water collects in aquifers, not lines.
no one has magic water detecting powers using magic wands.
@@MagnificentXXBastard I think he means he believes they find water pipes. Either way, it seems like bull to me.
@@markp8295 obviously its bullshit lol but i think he means water lines, not pipes. an old superstition that groundwater exists in subterranean streams or lines.
@@MagnificentXXBastard I've never heard about that theory before.
They must not have played with sand at the beach growing up.

How do you tell difference if it is just a buried water pipe, or a field line, or a septic tank or a deep underground water source?
Well, I guess it was a bit of silly fun but you proved nothing due to the experiment design. Specifically you haven't shown that it wasn't just luck and more importantly (and likely) Drilling anywhere along that downward slop would have gotten water in spite of what the dowsing predicted.
What kind of wooden stick you used for dowsing
True Dowsing follows the rules of metaphysics, physics & quantum physics combined in Synergy/coupled. The biggest difficulty for Dowsers is POLARITY. I was fortunate enough to be a Metallurgist and understand the nuclear spin and polarity of the elements. For example Silver is South polarity whereas Gold is North polarity and all of the 80 plus elements have a magnetic polarity and send out a vibration/signal even without stimulation. What often happens is that a gold treasure signal gets warped and travels away from the actual target and fooling the dowser. So you have a gold target and gold is North polarity and nearby is a large deposit of clay (which is usually South polarity) and opposites attract, so the clay pulls the gold signal into itself even hundreds of feet away at times. On the other hand Silver is South polarity and so is clay (usually) and Same/Polarity repels each other, so the clay pushes the silver signal off of the actual target anywhere from 20 feet to hundreds of feet, again fooling the dowser.
Water at 50 degrees F is South polarity and the water/fluid in your body at a much higher temperature is North polarity and voluminous. So then when dowsing for water works really good because their is a natural attraction there. Cordially, Robert
Thats a very interesting and insightful explanation that actually makes a lot of sense to me......Ive been dowsing and drilling for over 35 years...see my "water bore drilling tutorial" on my channel......I can dowse water in my sleep but gold lol thats why I'm still drilling after 35 years
@@waterboredrillerswaterbore505 My Uncle Wayne was a water-well-driller and always dowsed his water.
Water is priceless! Way to go, great video sir, thank you.
I helped drill water wells for three years. The owner of the company believed in dowsing. From my experience we usually hit water just about anywhere we drilled. Many times we drilled on small lots with only one place to put well (to stay away from septic systems and neighboring systems). And yes, we normally got water. The real question is, How deep is the water. It could literally be beyond the capability of a 1100' drill rig(T3W for all those well drillers). In the three years
I worked there (approximately 250 wells), we drilled 1 dry hole 1100' deep. We did drill many low producing wells with 1/2 gallon per minute, but when considering 1.5 gallon per foot water storage, that's a great deal of water at 400' deep. The more I worked there, the more I realized I knew nothing about where the water is. I'm not saying dowsing doesn't work. Just my observation.
They call it a water table. If you are paying the guy just ask him if he could do it blind folded. Should have no problem getting a hit on the same location twice.
Ahahahaha right. This day and age, this much internet access, and we have a comment section like this.....
Google limestone karst.
Is it possible that there's just a high water table in the area where these folks happen to work? Idk, I'm just spitballing. I'm still going to try and see if it works to locate the septic drain field at my new place. Worst thing that could happen is I end up using the rods to poke into the ground and find it that way. Fun experiment, either way.
Lisa Kukla no. The well is on the highest ridgeline.
What happens when you put it over a lake?
Could some tell me how this gentleman made the tree Branch get to the way it was that he was using it
I dowsed a artesia well, The driller said he could not pull it down and estimated 4 to 500 gallons per min. Stay safe.
I have a questions... can your wife wear an electric watch or does the watch battery die quickly. I can do it and can't wear electric watches! I wonder if other "witches" are the same....
Long ago comment, my father could dowse and was one of those people whose body just screwed electric watches repeatedly until he gave up on them
...
My grandfatter was a good dowser ! He couldn't wear a watch either!
The, "control" would have been to blindfold the guy. If he hit around the same spot every time you'd have less doubters. That said I always thought dowsing was real until I came upon many videos (watching flat earth videos), about the things people still somehow believe.
This is the best comment to date. 🏆. I wish I would have thought to do that.
Also where he “finds” water get him to step back two steps where the sticks say “no water” and drill there.
@@hamishsmith6077 Nah because his intent was still to drill a well. He'd be wasting money if he drilled outside of the spot that was found.
Plus a few feet probably wouldn't make that much of a difference.
I get what you mean though. If you are skeptical you are assuming he probably could have drilled anywhere and found water XD.
CHA0SBLEEDS yep
@@CHA0SBLEEDS you could definitely drill anywhere and find water. That's why dowsing works so often!
In terrain like that there’s gonna be water underground everywhere. Try doing it in the desert where there isn’t water all over the place.
In Nevada a downer found an underground river. There is a video on it.
in this video you said at .55 you didn't know how deep the water is. A man witched my brother in laws well and he showed us how to tell how deep and he hit it right on the money.
On our rez auntie elder said it must be a dogwood or cherry tree branch! 🤷🏽♀️🥰🥰
Sua empresa é onde amigo, sou driller aqui no Brasil.
I have found 3 streams.
If you keep drilling you will hit water? 20 feet this way or that way makes absolutely no difference.
As long as you are paying the driller by the foot have fun if I am paying I will look for water and know how deep I will have to drill
@@davidsignor7931 You have no idea of depth.
@@brianharmeson3144 I can tell you within 5 feet how deep the vein is

Because that's where he wanted to drill the well before he decided to make a shit stupid dowsing video.
Waw great.
Beautiful!!!
Very nice
Your suppose to use a green part of a tree branch to find water.
A few of the prevailing attitudes in this entire thread seem to be that: 1) there is water, water EVERYWHERE, and all you have to do it drill deep enough to find it, and; 2) if dowsing does not 'find' water, there isn't any there, and; 3) that dowsing is foolhardy.
1) Water is most everywhere. But there are comments below, and it is my experience that well drillers have spent/cost THOUSANDS of dollars drilling, and drilling, and drilling, and not finding water. And I've also seen drillers drill randomly or wherever it was convenient and bingo, find water. Water is NOT EVERYWHERE! But it is where it is. If you think of water like fish...try fishing right next to a lake, or somewhere in the lake where the fish don't congregate - the fish are (almost) there, but you'll never catch one two feet from the edge of the water or the 'hot hole'. Radio or cell phone signals are about the same - have you ever 'lost signal' and had to move a foot or two to get it back?
2) Dowsing does NOT actually 'prove' there is NO water anywhere. Dowsing responds to water (and pipes, and wires, and more) that ARE THERE. No response only means that the 'signal' wasn't as strong, or strong enough right there. Again, the fish - seeing them in the lake, or catching one or more from a 'fishing hole' proves that fish WERE there (since you've caught them, they might not be any more). But seeing a lake IN NO WAY guarantees fish! Again the radio/cell signal, too.
3) And, since I'm a believer, and have adequately and repeatedly proven to myself and others that dowsing works, it's not foolhardy to me. To those who 'don't get it' or 'don't have the 'feel', nothing can change that; for those of us who 'do have it', nothing will change that either.
No, water is definiely everywhere. How deep you have to drill to find some is gonna change region to region, but not more than a fex cms every dozen meters at most. And dowsing is not gonna help you find anything, because the difference in the height of the water table will only be a few centimeters over an acre of land, so drilling there or 10m to the right will not make ANY difference for depth of water table.
I know this from university and practical work on groundwater protection, this information is easily available online. How tf is a piece of wood supposed to discover water many meters below ground level exactly?
Oh yeah, groundwater is neither fish nor a radio signal. your analogies are a little wack.
Dowsing is bs. Get a geologist or engineer. You’re better throwing all of your money on the roulette table
Id love to just start digging a hole in the ground somewhere, not a small one, but like a crater
Or a cave
I've wanted to dig a tunnel, maybe a bunker
It equals chance in Blind test
Dowsing works for everyone. You only need to quiet your mind, be present, and focus on the desire you search for. It isnt just water or lines, it can be people, an arrangement of matter (IE a sign or a fire hydrant) or even metals. The tools are just that... tools. They are an extension of you and the universe within.
No, sticks don't have magical detection powers, you are just delusional.
Dig anywhere, you will find water. Water exists in LAYERS, not lines.
@@MagnificentXXBastard If you can dig anywhere and find water, why were dowsing rods ever even used?
@@TheEternalClown For the same reason people were hanging horseshoes on walls, knocking on wood and avoiding walking under a ladder.
Superstition.
@@MagnificentXXBastard Can you substantiate this or are you simply going out on a limb, and likely will respond with irony? In other words, are you well read on the history of dowsing and "water witches?" Can I trust that you know what you're talking about?
@@TheEternalClown No irony here, dowsing rods really are superstition.
How do you think a simple wooden rod (or copper or whatever) can detect water? what is the mechanism?
Also, I work in groundwater protection and can tell you that groundwater does not run in veins or spots, it is evenly distributed across large areas called aquifers.
It matters little if you drill 20m to the left or to the right, the groundwater level will be approximately the same.
"our guy" can tell where the water is, and how deep. But he can't tell if there's a rock between the ground and a water level. So you're hammering a 5/4 pipe 16 feet into the ground, and on the 10th foot the pipe doesn't move an inch further no matter the weight of the hammer. Pipe out, and better luck on a new location. Can "your guy" tell if there's an impenetrable rock in the ground ?
I had a cousin that was known all through this area as a 'water witch'. He never missed. I by chance got some rods and thought I would see if I can do it and it turns out I can. I just need to figure out how to fine tune it.
What I don't understand with this is, groundwater is coming from a groundwater table, isn't it? Then what's point of pinpointing of where to drill? Any point that is above the groundwater table will provide water.
Thank you. You get it. You could drill anywhere and hit water at the same depth.

Cracks faults fractures in the bedrock where water naturally will flow that's what your finding if it works for you. I would suggest moving over 20 ft or so away from where you find them the end result will be the same as far as water but if you drill that crack sense you disturbed it it will collapse maybe the next day maybe 100 plus years but it will eventually
Tip if your building a house or any type of foundation walk around and mark where the faults are running better not to build across one or more of them better to be on one solid peace of bedrock 😊
Hi and congratulations on your new well. I know it will sound weird but is it something to do with your blood group? I've watched a video about dowsing with fork stick and was saying that the technique only works with people who have 0 Rh blood group. I found it stupid and decided to proof he is wrong. However, it didn't work with Me or my dad. We have drilled two wells but no success and getting ready for the 3rd one.
So you weren't the people with 0 Rh blood group?
No we aren't and still don't think it's something to do with the blood group though.

The physics involved in dowsing have been reverse engineered and explained in the book, The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), along with how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which uses gravity as a gauge by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is attached on the elevated acetylene welding rod, and five inches from the hub shaft. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading of the sought element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Everybody can become a professional dowser by practicing the books dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope dowsing enriches your life and have a safe,healthy,good day.
I'll believe every word of it, after you show a link to the scientific tests of Religion Rods being conducted with 100% accuracy.
By the spring of 2024 our UA-cam Channel - Tracy and Michael's Dowsing Adventure, will teach all the physic involved in dowsing along with physical demonstrations of dowsing water lines to precious metal deposits. It is already proven physics with everyone seeing and experiencing the physics involved in dowsing by viewing our videos. It is not "magic" or "Religion Rods" or "water witching". It is pure proven physics with knowing how to apply proven physics in dowsing. Watch and learn.

My grandpa witched my mom's well and then had a friend come witch it. He didn't tell him where he found it. The friend found the exact spot being the strongest. When they well digger came to dig the well, grandpa told him right where to put the drill bit down. Mom's well was one of the best on the mountain. She never ran out, not even during the droughts. If I remember right, he used a peach tree limb. What tree limb did you use?
Watch the James Randi videos about dowsing. The fact is that if you drill a hole deep enough nearly any place on earth, you're going to hit water.
9.00. “ you can’t tell me it doesn’t work “. I’ll bet you can’t tell you much.
The Bible has something about diving of the rod. I’ll ask my Bro.
Dowsing for water seems like bullshit, but I've seen linemen dowsing for buried powerlines
A blindfold would reveal dowsing in nonsense.
i know dowsing works, saw it with my own eyes back when i was 12, 30 years ago, my question however is, how do he know he hit 2 streams in the one hole he drilled? do they lower a camera down there or what? if they measure the water flow, it could be just 1 bigger stream rather than 2 streams, right? and why its so expensive to drill is beyond me tbh
He can tell it’s two streams because he got pull coming from two directions but a lot more pull where they crossed.❤
In France they mark the places with little flags of different colours, indicating the amount of pull.😊
Where can I find the tools to do this?

My father could find water every time if there was waster there, he would not charge because he said it was a gift from God, but he would take a bottle of scotch if it was a gift.
Its something about the person. Some people can do it and some cant.
The people that can have undergone scientific tests to prove it, with 100% accuracy..? Send the test videos, when you find them.
My grandfather was a good dowser ! he said only about one person in two hundred could do it! He could never have a watch as it would stop!
This is hilarious
divining / dowsing is the only 99,9% accurate way for finding water (and other stuff too) while "modern" equipment used by geologists has an immense failure rate and is being charged very highly! We have a nice example of the municipality of Kalamata (Peloponnese, Greece) where they got an offer for a ready to use well (drill with pump) by a diviner friend of ours, who has also the equipment for drilling. He asked 25.000Euros for this project. The municipality thought it to be too expensive and instead called a French geologists team with technological equipment. End of the story: After several drills and over 50.000 Euros of payment, the municipality still had NO water! That happens if "doubting Thomases" are being in charge and paying with taxpayers money....
We, as master dowsers, will with accuracy find EVERY subterrain water, either flowing/streaming or still waters/lakes. We locate the spot, the deapth, the quality and quantity with great accuracy. And depending on the overall costs, we charge just a fraction and make sure the owner will not pay thousands of Euros for dry earth-holes...
By the way, because many people have no clue how radiaesthesia / dowsing / divining works:
Everything has or rather IS energy and thus produces a field of radiation. To this one has to attune and receive its electrical signals which in turn are being computed via the brain and translated to bodyfunctions, namely muscle contraction. These will in turn move the rods. All this undergoes the existing laws of how things work here on earth and in this case it means ALL incoming information has to first go through the subconscious mind to be then directed to the conscious mind. That means, that all and everything in our subconscious may and will affect whatever we are dowsing for! Just a hint to stress the immens importance of mastering the mind BEFORE using radiaesthesia more widely and beyond dowsing for water...
For anyone interested in professional tools: We provide some excellent German, hand-made biometers / one-hand rods which are the very best tools for advanced and professional dowsers due to their practicality in use.

Dowsing @
ya know about the water table. yeah its basically everywhere underground. so wen these rods cross its just balance and gravity
Magnetics
for those who dont believe it, stop whatching these kind of videos
I was in an Aldis parking lot...this is kind of hard to say...but i was talking to God...one sided it seemed..then i can't remember exactly what about..but i said something like "that v stick on cartoons" and i kinda spun around just acting it out while i was talking and i found myself pointing at the side of the brick building with the metal thing on the side of the building with a cylinder lid and stamped on it was "water". It even finished my sentence...i said "like when they look for...".. Then it was right there. ... I'll never forget that.
Anyone know the physics behind this? I def know it works just, how?
Hey there, it unfortunately doesn’t work. That’s why no one explains it. Quick Wikipedia will clear it up.
@@ConBroChillson I mean, it does work- somehow. We called a friend known for dowsing over at our newly bought home and he literally found water with a metal rod in like.. seven minutes- Perfectly! As i thought, it has to do with the magnetic field of the water hitting the soil underground, and synchronizing with the human's brain, forcing it to send a reaction, tilting the object without the dowser knowing about it!
(I also just did some research lol)[several sites]
Edit: spelling
@@nokatchi if you think that sounds reasonable then you’re beyond helping...and clearly you just googled what you wanted to hear. E.g. “How dowsing works” rather than “DOES dowsing work”, or even better: “dowsing Wikipedia”, which renders:
“Dowsing is a pseudoscience, and there is no scientific evidence that it is any more effective than random chance.”
@@ConBroChillson Ok mister Google just search 'dowsing' and there Is like literally the description of what i said in the second paragraph under the picture
+ 'you clearly googled' No, i asked him[the friend] and he said just recently "No úplně nevím ale zjistil jsem že je to nějakou magnetickou sílou a vibracemi" (translated) "Well i do not know completely but i figured out that it is because of some magnetic force with vibrations"

According to "the sticks" there was ... no water ... no water ... no water ... no water ... WATER ! According to the Dowsing lore, does that mean that all those places where the sticks were pointing UP there was NO water there? If you dug a well where the sticks were pointing up -- 10 or 20 feet away from the successful well-head -- the well would strike no water??? If I see THAT, a dry well 20 feet from the wet well, maybe then I'll believe in Dowsing.
Also, I note that the dowsing point is near a small ditch. When it rains, the flow of water down a hill carves that ditch and that ground carries more water runoff than other parts of the hill that have no gullies or ditches. Some of that gathered/concentrated water in the ditch will sink into the ground and so it is likely more underground water will be found near (under) the ditch. For that you don't need a dowsing rod, you only need eyes.
My house is in a narrow valley with a year-round vigorous stream. Hundreds of springs create the stream. I'll bet I could dig a well anywhere in the valley and hit water. A dowsing rod would never point to the sky.

The mind is also a natural dowsing rod. Me grandfather, Pat Patterson, was a witcher aka dowser for water wells. He did that for free and located many wells for people. Even though he and me grandmother was raising four children in a one bedroom house. He constructed a barn/bedrooms to the house, he painted a 50 gallon barrel put it on the roof to heat water for the family one room bath tub. If you were the oldest child then you were 1st. to take a bath. The youngest child, well, let's just say that after three kids use to the same bath water it's not the hot or warm anymore and it's a little bit dirty as well.
He hunted and fished for food. I suspect that he mind dowsed for hunting, especially whenever he went fishing because he always knew where to cast the fishing rod for the best fish. He had me cast in three different areas and I always either had a very good hit or caught a nice size fish.
I think a better test to prove if this works or not would be to drill a well where the rod did not show water to be and see if they find water or not.
My dad did this, water witching, in East Orange county, Florida, about 50 years ago before having a 4-in well put down about 160 ft. He believed it was true and I tried it and tried it and never was able to get any feeling from it. Fifteen years later,I moved 13 mi away, to the east to build my home. I picked the spot and told the well driller to put it there. He hit fairly decent water several times on the way down. He went down 160 ft and said he found some good water but hit the limestone and decided to drill another 40 or 50 ft. I get lots of water. I have a hand dug well down 18 ft and I get lots of water. I live in Orange county Florida and we live over top of the Floridian aquifer. I think my Dad could have dug anywhere on his property and found water.
dowsing is a scam, that's why.
THis is exactly it. Aquifers are huge and basically everywhere. There are very few places where u won't find water by digging a reasonable depth. The depth u have to dig only changes by centimeters if you move a kilometer.
The only thing that gets me is some people call in a water witch to find leaks in pipes and they seem to be more accurate than not. I just can't explain that.
@@MagnificentXXBastardobviously your nether a well driller nor a geologist. On other hand I'm a third generation driller retired now. Geology changes greatly depending on the area your talking about. The area mentioned at top of this thread your statement would be correct. However that pretty much is isolated to the Florida peninsula. As it's limestone mostly covered with sand from ancient sea. Where I am in the mountains geology is as up and down as the mountains are with volcanic dykes and geothermal springs that have caused uplifting. Water can be very hit or miss and dowsing has proven to be a cheap asset to find water. Technology offers a solution that is more accurate but also expensive where underground radar can be used to find water. I been dowsing since a teenager I can count finger on one hand the times missed and that was only because they were very dry areas where water was hard to get. The land owners chose to take the risk .
Two old timers dowsed the well at our house when I was a kid. The first came in dowsed, picked up a strong stream, and my dad marked it with a small pebble. The second guy came, dowsed, and he came to the exact same place as did the prior gentleman. The well was drilled, the drillers hit water at 103 feet, and they drilled down to 120 feet. The problem that we ever had was (years later in a very wet season), sand began to leak into the well, and it was starting to stop up our jet pump. We changed it to a submersible pump, and we decided to pump it clear to the bottom to clean out any sand in the bottom, and we could not pump it dry. We were pumping about 25 to 30 gallons per minute.
They found water because groundwater is everywhere and aquifers can be a mile wide.
There's a large aquifer under the entire area. You could probably drill anywhere and, as long as you go deep enough, you'll hit water.
Not sure about the area you're referring to but in a lot of areas, especially in the hills where I live there can be great water in one spot and bone dry at twice the depth a few yards away. Know of a specific situation where they used a driller that always just went for the lowest spot on the property, in this case a substantial ravine. After about 400' they ended up with a trickle. A couple years later they decided to try again. Same driller with the same philosophy, just a 100 yards or so further up the ravine - same nearly dead result. They lived on that land for several years using holding tanks that they'd pump their trickle into until they finally got sick of that situation so they tried one more time. Different driller who strongly encouraged them to let them bring their dowser guy out and walk their entire 20 acres. He located a spot at the very highest point - a hill - on their property. They were very skeptical, but the guy felt very strongly about it. Whereas in the ravine - he got no readings. So they bit the bullet and drilled where he pin pointed on top of the hill. They hit nearly 20 gal/min at only about 200'. There definitely was not a large aquifer flowing underground all at the same level. They hit a vein thanks to their dowser. I've asked drilling crew members and they told me they've seen crazy spots where their dowser has pointed out that you'd never guess by looking at the terrain would hit, but they do.
@@admjlw Yup,
Same experience for me. My Uncle taught me how to do this plus tell how much water and how deep using wire. I had located my well and another for a co worker and hit depth and GPM on both. I did one for another friend and heard they didnt find any water. Years later I asked him about it and he said that they had in fact got water where I said. His first driller wouldn't drill where I said the water was so they got a dry hole, then he went to a different spot and got dry hole. He then hired a different driller and he made him drill where I said and Bingo! I dont believe its witch craft, just a gift from God to help mankind. Not claiming I have any special connection, Its just something thats there.
Beautiful piece of property. Such a great view.
My grandfather also helped people find wells around Northfield , Nanaimo B.C. on Vancouver Island. My dad told me the story one family friend named Art Brownlie who asked for my grandfathers help. My grandfather made a decision on which spot he considered the best place to dig. The men dug down a fair way and nothing, they stopped to eat lunch and when they returned the well was very full. The only retrieved the ladder, any tools left at the bottom were there for good. Ha Ha! My dad said grandfather Alfred could hold the dowsing switch as tight as could and he would end up with a blister. My dad isn't able to dowse but I am. I haven't done it for years though.
Luck. Just luck.
My father was the same way he could hold the stick so tight it would twist the bark off... He dug in an area where everyone else was drilling dry wells.. not only that he ran the well solid for 4 days straight to fill the swimming pool... He figured that if that didn't dry up the well nothing would.
dowsing is a scam dude.
@@michaelcohen9363 idk man, my coworker doused a 50gpm well at 140ft recently. I'm not fully convinced it's legit, but I'm also not convinced it's a scam. Some people just do weird shit consistently without any scientific evidence to back it up.
@@TrueBolt18 There's always tell-tale signs of underground water. Anywhere near a large tree, areas where there's lots of vegetation but not much else surrounding it, low-points in the ground, etc...
He would've found water if he spun around 3 times and pointed somewhere at the ground too...
There's a reason why every single scientific test debunks dousing/water witching... it's because it's a guessing game.
If you dig deep enough there's literally water under any ground lol
My dad was a non believer and the willow branch almost pulled him over. Too bad your driller did not show the flow test and slotted pipe.
I have used copper rods to find power and water lines. It works, I don't know how.
same; i dont believe it at all... yet couple copper rods bent; can find water, have done multiple times. I still dont believe it.
When I was taught how to Douse for Water I was AMAZED at the fact that I was holding that branch as tight as I possibly Could and there was a point in time that I could hear the Branch "Creaking" in my hand as it turned down to point at the ground. I COULD NOT stop it from turning. We have a Filled In Well in our yard. I cut a forked branch and Walked the Yard. Then I Taught my Wife and she got the Very Same Results walking the yard that I did and she was convinced that this Really Works. In the video I think that they were walking a bit fast for me.
Right!? I have the same experience you can't hold hard enough to stop it pointing down even when holding like that! So odd there is very few places with explanation on how this happens
What if it did it anyway even if you were standing still, because of the internal stress, like a spring for example
@@krzysztof6123 No idea if that could happen. I just know from my own experience that this is a real phenomenon of the twig twisting itself when walking over certain areas. I can't prove what causes it, if it is or isn't moving water I don't know.
I always heard to hold the rods LOOSELY in your hands.
Great video 😊
Thank you very much stay safe my friend
He’s applying pressure to the natural bend of the wood sticks he has, once he releases the pressure it goes back to form, or what you see at snapping to the ground. It’s bogus.
Total nonsense.
@midevilone what is touted to work best? hazel, willow? copper, iron? I'm assuming it doesn't matter.
My Great Grandfather was a dowser. I saw him do amazing things He was drowsing for years he could tell you how far down to drill by the pull of the branch.
No need for a branch, just look at the groundwater table map.
this is the dumbest shit ever, the groundwater level only changes by a couple centimeters over a hundred meter overland distance.
The og scam artist
Watch the heels of these folk. Ask them to work over a firm surface. One could also compare their results with values of softness/hardness with a cone penetrometer.
I've accurately discovered and determined the path of water lines underneath concrete floors. With no prior knowledge or guidance, I've marked a path and then had a plumber come in to confirm that my marks were consistent with where he had installed the line.
Thats how both my wells were drilled using dousing. The guy that did it has moved on. Just fixed the cistrine it was decommissioned and they cut the casing so it was taking water on for 20 years. finally got a sink hole bc the concrete on top moved with the earth.
It works done drilled to many wells all hitting water by using water witching
Let me tell you the easiest way to find water underground. Go to any base of a mountain and they'll be water. In my Village there are Borehole taps every 1KM because it's located in a topology where mountains north and south of it collectively guide water down.
