Walt I can do it.I have seen actual proof that it works.My Uncle had to move his house back when an interstate hiway came thru.He had a fellow with a back hoe dig a new well.I hauled in the concrete well tile for him.His back was pretty bad .The backhoe got down 15 feet.Bud asked me if I would dig down deeper.He had dowsed the spot and said there was a strong stream coming from the east and a lesser one from the south.I dug down 3 more feet with no sign of water.There was a seam of sand about the size of BBs all around the wall.No water showing .I scratched the sand with the shovel and a large stream of water poured in. bud said try the south side,I did and a smaller stream poured in.The water was coming in fast so I started lowering in the tiles with the farm pickup.By the time I got the last tile set and back filled the well had 4 feet of water in it.My uncle had never seen the sand seam and and was the first one to see it.The water came in just as he had dowsed it.Going back a few years I hooked up to my dads dug well when I bought the acre lot next door and built a house.This worked ok until we had a dry summer.Friend and decided to drive a well point on my lot.I dowsed a spot.We put a pulley on a tree limb about 8 feet from the spot.We used a driving weight and a Shaw garden tractor with a large flt pulley on the engine.A rope was fitted several turns around the pulley and used as a capstan.We got down about 6 feet and hit some thing solid.We started digging and found a large rock.We were in hard pan, dad said dig a down sloping hole in the sidewall and roll the rock into it. We got down 15 feet and water started come in from the east side.We lowered the tile with an old plymouth and put the lid on.Example #3 5years later my house was in the way of the interstate highway.I looked for land but the cost had gone way up.I decided to get out of the area because of zoning.I wanted my own TV shop.A farmer I worked for had a lot about a mile away.He bought my house and moved it.With moving, a new foundation, septic and well he spent 11 grand, a lot of money in 65.When it came time to drill awell Dick asked the well driller if he used a dowser.He said only when he got into a dry hole.Dick lets do it now.The well had to go in front of the house.I cut a limb from an apple tree in front of the house.Each of us found the same spot under the apple tree .This was done with two men behind the house while one dowesed in front.A few limbs were cut from the apple tree to make room for the drill rig.The well came in strong at 75 feet and was drilled to 100 feet to make sure.I can find water lines and septic tanks with an apple branch.I never say never about anything.Closed minds learn nothing new.I have more examples on dowsing but one finger typing makes me stop now.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
