Using Dowsing Rods To Find A Water Line

Jun 24, 2011 - this actually works. i used it in my backyard to find a gas pipe. I was taught to do this by a gas line worker who was unable to use magnets and other ways to find pipes.

Jul 20, 2011 - if ya do it right then you will find water, it took me a couple try practicing to get good at it if you can really be good at it lol, but now that i know how to hold the rods I can find water almost everytime

Aug 21, 2011 - I have been Dowsing for quite a few years now on a personal interest basis.My Father introduced me to Dowsing.I use wooden forked branches(I find them easier then method used in the video which I have experimented with before) If you dig a 6 foot hole in many places you will find water,this is not unusual.Often the first thing you pick up on is the longitude and latitude lines of the Earth (like a grid) every couple of feet which mark North South Easte and West.Happy to answer any questions :)

Sep 26, 2011 - water holds an electrical charge. the metal rods encounter the electrical current and react to it is the best explanation i can give.... nice demo!

Oct 9, 2011 - I just wiki'd dowsing and they make it sound like a weird b.s. esoteric magic thing. but i distinctly remember being 8 years old and doing it with wire coat hangers in my bedroom at home and located a water pipe below my floor. at the time, i had no idea that dowsing wasn't science and thought there was a simple scientific explanation up until 10 minutes ago when i found that there wasn't one. i had first read about it in a science book, i think, so now I'm confused. does anyone have any idea?

Oct 19, 2011 - I'll say without a doubt that it works. I worked for the city water department for about 5 years and we did it all the time. Works great. Sometimes the groundwater would throw it off but it does work and is pretty damn accurate

Oct 30, 2011 - I have not dowsed in years, because THANKFULLY, water lines simply don't need replacing that often! Lol but I was turned on to it by a friend, that at the time I said was full of crap, Lol but he wasn't, and I can only imagine how much exploratory digging he saved me! it was simple to learn and get immediate positive results! No Rocket Surgery involved, meaning I'm sure anyone could do it, except maybe the occaisional person with a magnetic field the stops a watch! Lol try it, it DOES work! :)

Nov 10, 2011 - 9 of 10 people can make this work

Nov 12, 2011 - buuuuut what if you dig a hole ten feet away also? will that other hole get water too? thats the real test to see if it works guys.

Nikon05 Says:

Nov 20, 2011 - exactly, was just about to say the same thing!

AlexNOSAM Says:

Dec 7, 2011 - That does not explain why you can find literally everything using those rods. Oil, gold, diaminds, silver et cetra... Even not walking on the ground but just holding them above a really big map of a certain region.There are several theories why it works. Some are pretty convincing, others just ridiculous...

DoveDancing Says:

Dec 7, 2011 - I've never seen them doing any of that. Show me a demo...

ClintL63 Says:

Jan 3, 2012 - It doesnt look like a seven foot hole! I'll admit; it seems deeper, especially when you have to dig clay!!

prts2 Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - About dowsing go and read about Ideomotor effect. And about "waterlines", water that's beneath the ground doesn't move in lines nor tunnels it just is there, in some places it's closer to the ground and in some further, you could say it's everywhere, this is why dowsing always "works". Once you dig a hole like you did the pressure that's holding it down is released and water starts to condensate in to the hole, don't mean to be disrespectful but you asked for an explanation. ;)

Jan 27, 2012 - So when you hit water how soon after do you stop digging?

parachutepilot7 Says:

Jan 29, 2012 - about5 minutes after I stopped water started coming up and that washed away enough dirt for me to see the water line

michaelb3197 Says:

Mar 2, 2012 - Im very sceptical, how do we know you didn't just fill that hole with water?

parachutepilot7 Says:

Mar 2, 2012 - because if i had filled it with water it would be more than that and the ground would have soaked up any water i had put in there, the water line was saturating the ground so it couldn't soak it up. im not one to try an pull a joke on the internet

Mar 4, 2012 - Ok man good to hear

GunClingingPalin Says:

Mar 9, 2012 - I have used rods just like that and they find water lines really easy. What really blew my mind is one time at a demolition job the water guy from the city came out to mark the lines - gas and water - so they wouldn't get dug when the excavating started; the city guy pulled out just 1 rod and and was walking really fast around and marking where all the underground pipes were. He would spray his paint on the ground every time the rod turned. He said the 1 rod was faster than his other equipment.

Gamensan Says:

May 11, 2012 - I know it works. However, I cannot hear your video very well. Also, a question for you. Can you use only one hand/rod effectively?  I would like to be able to use just one for what I have in mind. Thanks!
