All the facts anyone will ever need are on this board. So many that you could read for months...Art
My plumber came to dig a trench in my yard . the city water bill was very high , the city inspector came out with a detector and painted a line across the lawn . when the man left my plumber bent two rods removed the orange flags and when he walked over where he thought the pipe was the rods crossed. he marked a new line , it was about 5 feet from the inspectors line , he dug the trench and the line was directly in the middle of the plumbers trench. I have not seen it find coins or gold but i can tell you without doubt it can find pipe in the ground.
No reason for it to hurt, I lost $20 bet that it wouldn't work when I first heard of it, I then learned how to do it.My head hurts...
Sorry some guy who should have given you dad his money back (in my opinion) soured you on dowsing. I can turn that around to a question for you. How can on one occasion 3 locators with the newest equipment miss a water main at least 4 times? On another occasion different locator co. miss another main & valve several tries? And a couple other occasions. Yet in all these cases the mains, pipes & valves were located by old guys with dowsing rods. One old foreman used his wedding ring on a strand of speaker wire.Jeff, I thank you. Sometimes I go off the rails. What is or who is OP? Ref. Boogeyman above. When I was 16 year old, my Dad brought in a dowser to find a good spot for a well. The first spot he said you should hit water in 5 or 6 feet. Dry hole. The second AND third times my Dad brought him back, it was the same story, 5 or 6 feet. 3 dry holes. This is old glacial till, mostly rock. I had the pleasure of digging those holes with a shovel. My Dad was going to use 3 foot dia. sections, so each hole was four feet across. It made me a man. First impressions are powerful.
