I think when it comes to talk of witching and dousing, there are two different issues that tend to get cross threaded and lumped together and discussed together as if they are the same thing. In my mind.....they are not.

One is dousing for ground water for wells, lost coins, buried treasure, etc........I have no experience with that and could not care less........

The other is the use of bent wires to find buried water lines, electric lines, gas lines, etc. That one does seem to work....and if it does work for our needs, a whole lot cheaper than buying a $2,000 piece of equipment, which, btw, also seems to require some practice and education in order to get accurate results.

On a previous post, I put up a link to a video of a guy showing how to make his wires out of coat hangers, etc, and then went out and found some lines. I never caught it before, but towards the end of that video, he walked it over a section of empty garden hose. Got nothing. Then walked it over the same hose with it running a full stream. Wires crossed.

Hard to figure out why and all, but it would seem that there is some type of magnetic field that must set up not all that much different than magnetic north and south. What is odd about that is the rods do not have to be magnetized to work. Just have to be conductive, like steel, copper or brass. You would think some curious person with an understanding of electrical fields, and a means of measuring it with test equipment could find a way to explain it, but it seems to remain shrouded in mystery.

Today's Featured Article - Ford N-Series Transmission/Hydraulic Fluid - The Full Story - by Llamas. The transmission fluid in an “N”:-series tractor lubricates the transmission, differential, rear wheel bearings, PTO and hydraulic pump drive, and it also cats as the working fluid for the hydraulic lift.
