[quote:EmeraldIvy:MV8zNzAwNjQ2XzY2MjIyMjkxX0M3OTQ3OEJE] We had a pipe leaking in our yard a few years ago. My husband made a set of dowsing rods with coat hangers. I was very, very skeptical, but went outside with him to watch. He knew approximately where the water line ran, but the leak could've been anywhere along the pipe ... approximately 50'. He walked around a minute or two, and the rods crossed. He backed up, and the rods straightened. He moved forward again, and they crossed. I was thinking "Yeah, right. He made the rods move, and he's just messing with me." He got a shovel and dug a hole. Just one hole, straight down. The ground started out dry, but got wetter and wetter the deeper he dug. Suddenly there was the spewing pipe, exactly where the dowsing rods had crossed. I never would've believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself. I'd always thought it was just a myth, but it seems that there's something to it after all. I'm still baffled as to how the rods picked up the leak itself, and not the whole water line. Fascinating stuff! [/quote]

Many years ago when I was in the third grade picked a Y shaped stick and walked around the park across the street from our apartment building until the stick pointed down on its own it scared me senseless.
This were back in the days when even a public education touched on many topics and although had no clue as to the proper use the dowsing stick it did indeed forcibly point down.
Years later found out that Tibbetts Brook ran underground in the area and probably a tributary water source flowing eventually to the Hudson River.
If you read the government website pertaining to water dowsing they bring up the point that water in many areas is abundant underground and dowsing is no big deal however, this third grader pinpointed an underground brook.
Hope to have some fun with this on our small ranch in Wyoming before the well diggers arrive to dig our well.
