Thank you for this video.. I come from a family line of dowsers..on my Scandinavian side. My great great granddaddy, my great uncle his son and me. My daddy never believed until he had my great uncle up on his property and had him dowse for water on 5 acres..and without telling me he had uncle Walstrom there to map out the water..later on, my daddy had me do the same without either Uncle Walstrom or me knowing the other found the same water aquifer! He told me after I was done that my uncle and I drew identical hand drawn maps of the underground water...same direction, same depths and all..I was amazed because I never knew my uncle Jack was a water witcher and my daddy became a believer that day! We learned it was the Norway springs aquifer that stretched into caverns under my daddy’s plot of land!
It works. We used to find septic tanks that were too deep to probe with them. I even had an old fella pick a new well spot years ago at my parents using green tree branches instead of copper wire.
Just came in from trying to dowse , I'm exhausted from work. 12 to 14 hr days tuckers me , 65 yr young out. I believe in our Great Creator, He is my Savior !
The physics involved in dowsing have been reverse engineered in the book, The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), which explains all of the physics involved in dowsing and how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that accurately gauges what is being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is attached on the elevated acetylene welding rod, with being located five-inches away from the hub's shaft. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading of the sought element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Anyone can become a professional dowser by practicing the book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. I hope dowsing enriches your life and have a safe, healthy, good day.
Thanks for expressing your opinion, Matt. I have seen studies that show both sides of the opinion. I don't know the answer for sure. I do wonder though if God gave this method of finding water to man. I think of men in the Bible digging wells that lasted generations. Either way, I know that Jesus is the living water. Thanks, man.
@@carolinahillcountry Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this. Has been debunked by every single person who has done an experiment with any real controls. Anyone who is in the scientific community will just chuckle when you bring it up because it's been proven without a doubt to be fake. So, it isn't my opinion. It's a proven fact. And bringing God into it is just silly. As a Christian myself, I do believe in miracles, but I also believe in common sense. James Randi offered 1 million dollars to anyone who could do this at a rate better than guessing, for many years. Thousands attempted, and no one was able to do so. Why? Because its not real. Its called the idiomotor effect. Your brain takes over your fine motor skills and manipulates the stick/wire and you don't realize it. Sort of like highway hypnosis. That's why you have to be gullible... I mean, you really have to believe to make it work. If you isolate the rods, not from your body, but from your own movements, you'll quickly realize that you are the one moving it. Therefore, it's all you. Now, you can claim that God is the one telling you to move it, but then, why do you need the stick? Just walk over and point. Like I said, good luck finding even one person in the scientific community who would be able to have serious conversation about this because it's failed every serious study that it's ever been in while using actual controls. Sorry, but this isn't opinion, but a proven fact. If you'd like to know why I care so much, look into the ADE 651. It was a dowsing bomb detector that some guy made millions off of, and got countless people killed because it isn't real. He even went to prison for it. You convincing people that this is real could result in a lot of people looking silly while walking around their back yards with a stick, but can also result in someone trying to use this when it actually matters. So be responsible. Do a tiny bit of research. Look up idiomotor effect and the ADE 651 before you continue perpetuating this parlor trick as reality.
@@carolinahillcountry Also, God loves us so much, that he gave us the gift of water under almost every bit of the earth, but just like many of Gods gifts, you may have to do a little work to find it because some places are deeper than others, but almost anywhere you dig, you will find water, and you'd actually be lucky to find a spot that doesn't have water. God is great!
@@Wellactually123 you make some good points. I am certainly not committed to the view that dowsing is scientific. I just thought it was interesting to watch. Amen to the last sentence for sure though.
I’ve seen someone do dowsing for water before but it’s been years. Always cool to see! 😊👍
I agree it is cool to watch.
Thank you for this video..

Very cool story. That is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Worked for us in Iowa. God Bless for posting.
Thank you, Bret. God bless y'all in Iowa.
@@carolinahillcountry You are so Welcome!
So cool! My nephew and Daddy drill with the same drilling rig, but in Oklahoma. My Granny used to witch wells. Thanks for sharing! -Cyndi
Very cool history.
It works. We used to find septic tanks that were too deep to probe with them. I even had an old fella pick a new well spot years ago at my parents using green tree branches instead of copper wire.
I have heard of folks using branches too but have only seen rods used.
Glad that worked.
Me too
I grew up in Moore County in a little town called Cameron.
Yes sir David I know exactly where Cameron is. Wasn't there a couple of professional wrestlers from that way?
Just came in from trying to dowse , I'm exhausted from work. 12 to 14 hr days tuckers me , 65 yr young out. I believe in our Great Creator, He is my Savior !
Hallelujah
SamCo mount up!
Mount up
How much does it cost?
Sorry just saw this comment. Wells around here cost probably anywhere from $3000-$7000 usually.
Praise the LORD ¡
Hallelujah

You're just guessing. It's called the idiomotor effect. You can also just walk over and point. It's just as effective, and you don't look silly.

You know water is everywhere right? It isn’t like underground rivers…
You could dig anywhere and still find water.
Thank you
I agree, but less water, & perhaps deeper .
