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.

Sorry, Mr. king but NOBODY has been able to demonstrate
scientifically that dowsing is anything but a crock of hock.

The amazing Randi has a longstanding million dollar prize to
be claimed by anybody who, under controlled scientific
conditions that they can do anything paranormal. Dowsing
is included. Nobody has claimed the prize for over a dozen
years now.

What does that tell you?

I suppose that depends on your ideas about "scientific proof." Some
people are notoriously hard to convince, just look at the public
convictions about evolution & global warming.

In any event, I know of about a dozen properties which had poor wells,
where several different drillers failed to improve the situation, and a
dowser found a spot where water was much closer and flowed at a greater
rate.

How are you going to have "controlled scientific circumstances" in well
drilling? Build an artificial continent?


... Nobody has claimed the prize for over a dozen

That the Amazing Randi probably doesn't really have a million dollars.

In any event, I would not go so far as to say it can be "scientifically
proven" that dowsing works. Only that some people have a sense for it,
and it's quite rare. Just the same way that some people can
(occasionally) tell what cards are in another person's hand...
