Duh! Like I said, there is a water table. It does not vary more than a foot or
so in its level. No matter where you drill you will hit it. A dowser is unnecessary.

Almost all well diggers in these parts claim dowsing ability....and of
course you drill where there's a water table...that's the point of
dowsing..to find the best place to drill...

I hope you did not pay for the witchcraft of dowsing.
As an intelligent person, if you paid you got ripped off.
Wells are drilled into a water table. Where you place your well
is of little concern because the water in the water table will
be within a foot or two of being lever.

John,
It is rather simple, stick the thumb into the folded fingers to the
first knuckle and hold it at arms length. That will give you a 10
degree
spread. Each knuckle is two degrees. Top of the knuckle to the hollow
between 1 degree, half way up or down is a 1/2 degree. If your
sighting
is between I say plus or minus. ( When voyaging, a 1/2 degree will get
you to 30 miles. A minus gets you inside 30, a plus over 30.
To Calib. your fist and arm, stand in the corner of a room and count
how
many fist it takes to get 90 degrees. Ten should do it for most people
but it will let you know what your fist represents
Kind of a fun and easy way to check out things that are happening
around
you.
So as of tomorrow the Sun will be 23 1/2 degrees below the Equator.
Subtract that from your local GMT Noon reading and you should have
your
local Latitude.
Not sure where your located but St John is about 45 degrees (4&1/2
fists) minus
2 fists and 1 & 1/2 knuckles should be the local sighting (2 Fists and
1
knckle)
Give it a try and a laugh at Ole Thom
