  • In my never ending effort to efficiently grow purple hull peas, I have found the perfect spot on the property to grow long straight rows of peas BUT I have water lines that run somewhere near my soon to be growing area!! I have to admit I was skeptical, Possum Butt showed me how to use an ordinary metal coat hanger to find an underground water line, you won't believe this!!
    Check it out and I thank ya for watching!!

    Try this with clothes hanger and straws. Tell it to point left, point right, point towards yourself, towards another person, point east, west, north or south. It is being pushed by an unseen power.

    This is something I was also sceptical about. 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 like you did 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.

I had to talk them into digging a whole and there it was. I love the old ways.
