Have to agree CN,

The Dowsers usually find the spot where they want to drill.

I was first shown it with a man and two bent brass rods. Then I had a
welder in the maintenance shop bend two pieces of brazing rods and ask
me were I wanted to find water. He could make those tips come together
anytime and any place he wanted. He could make them come together right
where he was standing in the weld shop by just shuffling his feet
without changing his physical location. Then he held out his hand for
his Dowsing fee.
He taught me how to do it, for free.

P/S The believers still believed, saying there was water under the
maintenance shop


It's not much of a trick to make the brass, or hickory, or whatever,
appear to dip at the spot you want the well. The trick is to be able to
locate the spot where water will be found closest to the surface, and
where it will flow the easiest.

Probably out of everybody who claims to be a dowser, maybe one out of
fifty or a hundred will actually have some perception of where to drill
the best well. I've seen it done here in NC and a few spots in New England.
