Until a few months ago I thought of dowsing in the same manner as UFOs and Ouija boards, just a lot of hokum. Not any more. I was building a house for a client and needed to dig a footing in the area of a water line I installed in previous months. The line was about 3 feet deep and installed with 2" PEX pipe (plastic). One of the old timers on the job said we could dowse the line. His rods had brass wire wrapped handles with steel rods. I new where the line ran roughly so I gave it a shot. WOW!!! the rods crossed hard. I walked back and forth several times and allways with the same result. We dug down with a shovel and found the line straight away. If I haddent done this myself I wouldn't have believed it. I'm convinced and look forward to having some fun with this. Thanks for all the info. Lookdown
