Water Dowsing isn't as easy as you must think.
But I can signal water using a bottle of water.
Distant lakes, neighbors pools, septic tanks full of liquid.
Water Dowsers that Dowse for water, are Dowsing for a underground moving spring, not a aquifer.
The difficulty associated with water Dowsing is confirming the depth of the signal.
It's really difficult to locate a half strength depth halo, on any deep target.
If a water stream is 200 ft down, to know that, requires a 200 ft depth halo located.
My well is drilled into sand at 100 ft, all aquifer.
Dowsing isn't required.
The well that my parents had put in, on the shore of lake Huron, was 15 ft deep, and drilled into a underground spring, flowing through the clay.
My Dad had used a Dowser to locate the spring.
There is no aquifers in that area, like other areas use Dowsers.
It depends on the area..

Thinking more about it, I believe it was only 15 ft deep 4 or 5 ft wide circumference.
I was around 13 yrs old, and we would purchase shiner minnows, and keep them down in the well, in a bucket, until early morning perch fishing.
Some small minnows had gotten out through the holes, and we could see them living down in there.
I wonder what new owners must think seeing minnows living in their drinking water well..

I messed with using a magnetometer to calculate the frequency while locating near real time but the magnetic field is changing all the time and kinda like playing Whack-A-Mole.

It's called Diurnal Variation!

Diurnal variation:

Geophysics & Magnetism: Regular, daily wave-like shifts in the Earth’s local magnetic field caused by electric currents in the upper atmosphere (ionosphere) interacting with solar radiation. :thumbsup:

Well...?

Placing minnows or mosquito fish directly into a functional drinking water well is not recommended and generally unsafe because it poses severe risks to groundwater safety, water quality, and public health.

Why Minnows Do Not Belong in Drinking Water Wells

• Bacterial and Viral Contamination: Fish produce biological waste (ammonia and feces) and can die and decompose in a closed subterranean shaft. Decaying fish flesh introduces dangerous bacteria (such as E. coli or coliforms) and foul odors directly into your drinking supply. :thumbsup:
