Gotta agree with you there Cappy; when we had our well drilled the
drillers asked us where we would like our well and I pointed out a
location about 10' out from the house. The guy gets out his dowsing tools
(two pieces of coathanger wire) and proceeds to wander around eventully
stopping right over the spot I wanted, the wires suddenly cross and he
tells me I'm really lucky, there is water right where I wanted it. My
nightbors had the same guy do their well, same story, funny thing though,
the water in both wells was found at 65'! Uri Geller couldn't have done
better.

A 65 foot well?

I don't have much experience in drilling wells, but when I lived in North
Georgia in the Appliancian Mountains near Blue Ridge, they had to re-drill
to 3000 feet. They remarked about having to do this miracle, but I didn't
have a clew (nautical content) about what the average well would be...

I lived on top of a large mountain, and I guess it was par for the course?

Your experience proves dowsing is all a big hoax.

You lived atop a large mountain. Most every mountain
in that part of the country has caves and underground
streams, lakes, etc. along with springs.

If dowsing really worked, the dowser should have been
able to find water existing in sufficient quantity well
above the water table. If dowsing were real, the dowser
should have found an underground lake in a cave into
which to drill. That you had to drill all the way to the
water table proves dowsers are frauds.
