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. UK Water Companies Still Use Medieval-Age Divining Rods to Find Underground Water Sources [ link to www.odditycentral.com] Water dowsing [ link to water.usgs.gov (secure)] This is a really interesting subject to me. In the upper Midwest where I've lived for a number of years in the past; the water table is occasionally 15 or 20 feet below the surface. I now reside in the Arizona Mountains and to drill a well here, is a major event. 500 feet to 700 feet. I wonder if the sensitivity of the dousing stick is affected by the depth of the water below the surface? I'm wondering if a skilled douser could help me identify where to drill a well? This is a large piece of property. If one location is better than another, that would be good to know.  We are in the same predicament we purchased land in Wyoming initially looked at land in Crook County however there were so many uranium mines in the area an the ground water was naturally contaminated. This meant we would have to use cisterns and have water trucked to the location and this was unacceptable to us. We chose another county that is far more rural but good water is in the area this triggered the memory of dowsing as a child and I do wish to try making my own dowsing rods again.
