@@teeanahera8949 I liked your comment because I think it was well written, but I disagree. I think there is a logical explanation for why it works. Same way a compass works. Magnetism. It makes sense that all the unfiltered water down there contains metals and likely iron rich. Maybe powerful enough to pull copper wire, most hangars. But I think there was value in your comment as well.
@@scottmcnamara4864 you sound smart but are dumber than a rock, if there was magnetism no compass would work anywhere in the world don't you think? And this technique "works" because water doesn't flow in streams underground, it's basically everywhere. You could dig wherever and you would find water.
pro tip: don't put an end cap, beat your pvc pipe done until you have good resistance and then use your jet pump to suck all the sediment out of the pipe and repeat. I'm using an old fashion pitcher pump to do this method over time to get my well the last 8 feet down for a total of 30 feet since I'm using this well as emergency drinking water and daily pumping 15 gallons a day to water the gardens. once i hit my target depth, ill add a check valve and a filter on of my pipe. by doing this, i'm slowly getting deeper every day by just using the well.
the dowsing rods are hilarious! you're trying to hit the water table, and the water table is literally everywhere on your property. you could put that well anywhere and you're going to hit water so long as you dig deep enough. you may as well used so dowsing rods to see where the grass was thinnest.
It works with the hangers, you must take it from 3 directions and mark it with your foot with a cross on the ground that why you will get the water underground stream
Hello, I live in Virginia Beach, and want to dig a shallow well for emergency water purposes. It says you need a permit, I saw North Carolina also needs permits did you do this or you don’t need a permit for a shallow well? Says 50 feet away from septic or sewage I don’t have too big of a backyard.
Mine was purely “agriculture use” only used for gardens and livestock. It wasn’t “certified” for potable use. But having the water tested in a lab just to make sure it was safe for my plants and animals, you know!
Me and a friend used black pipe sections 5 ft long and bored down 45 ft until we could no longer get the pipe up in the air without breaking the pipe we never got water😢
How do you remove a rock lodgedi into the bottom if the area you want to make into a well which is hard to remove and you can hear water running underneath it,?
the auger is now listed for $367 (CA$).. That is a bit much! Will try to source a better price. Great video. Have done water witching many times and it really does work. Our local water municipal workers use it as well to locate old water lines on properties.
Pretty cool and thanks for taking the time to make the video. Regretabally, for me, I don't live in an area with sand as the primary soil. About 3 feet down I hit limestone a bit farther it turn into serpentine. Although it's like clay it is much harder to dig through.
The problem with drilling down that shallow is ur water u drinking is surface water basically what drained from above. The water u drink from wells pros drill is below bed rock. The water that is above bed rock is sealed off with casing. So the water u get down deep is coming out of the rock
Yep, I moved here from West Virginia, we had the same depth problems there . In a valley you might have a good well at 60-70 feet, but as the mountains got involved they went 300 to 800 feet for good water.
Guys dousing rods don’t do anything. Water tables rarely differ between any 2 points unless the terrain has significantly changed. They are like rivers the whole area is covered in a layer of water at the same depth.
You are wrong. Diving rods do work, not always the same way, not always the same material, but these have been used for centuries to find water. I sold a house once and the new owner asked me to delineate the outline of the septic tank. Divination made it happen. Easypeasy.
Not bad! Not bad at all! Is it still producing water at the same pressure/rate? All year round, or seasonal? Has it gone dry in the summer? Great informative video. Thank you a lot for sharing.
Shure try that in Texas. If you can do this at all 99% of the water is sulfur water. Most areas of Texas is lime stone VERY shallow. Surface to 10 ft that is why there are very few basements in Texas. Most drinkable water is two hundred ft to eleven hundred feet. We also have very few trees west of I35 in Texas and those are short. Most of them are 10 ' to 30 '. If you live east of I35 things change drastically. North of Houston you have the Big thicket with lots of big tall trees and deep soil.
Question my auger is a foot under muddy water every time I pull up everything slides off? Should I try to pump with the Same pump you did my pump instructions said clean water only? Or should I wash down a 4 inch pvc another 5 foot set the 1.25 screen pull up 4 inch and call it a day. I like the idea of that capped casing but I can’t get deep enough to get 3 foot of standing water, if I wash another pipe down I don’t know how thick this layer of water is. My first well is 27ft it has water but sucks air doesn’t produce much water but there is water now I’m trying to go bigger to at least get 200 gal a day. Hole is 8inches wide and 18ft deep at this point in eastern North Carolina.
I don't know where you and others on youtube are getting your hand augers. I tried buying from Amazon and even though people said it was supposed to be threaded to take extension pipes, it was welded solid. Read more reviews and plenty of people having the same issue. Guess you got lucky.
It is a manual auger www.amazon.com/Seymour-Industrial-Hardwood-Replaceable-Handle/dp/B000OY4ABW/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=manual+auger+post+hole+digger&qid=1619954759&sprefix=manual+auger&sr=8-5
Runing sediment-laden water through a common jet pump is a very effective way to ruin the impeller and jet assy in a few minutes. Their plastic-based parts do not handle abrasives at all.
You may not be able to do this in the Philippines because the soil is hard clay and is not a good aquifer. Maybe you could do this close to the ocean, but then you would get salt water.
When I worked for the gas utility company then the city public works years ago, I would witch the lines for the crews. They just laughed and giggled like school children, but they were sure in awe when I was more accurate than their hi-tech locator machines.
As a Christian I see no problem with dousing, I have never seen a scripture that makes it if the devil, it has more to do with natural causes. But you could hire an expert to locate water using other scientific methods.

You can't be serious. God created this world. He made the water that we seek. Water "witching" is called that because people find it mysterious or unexplained. The fact is, if you live anywhere with a shallow water table, you can put down a well ANYWHERE and hit water. God studies the heart.

They are called witchy sticks and they really work on finding water and power lines under ground or in your house flooring. I've had no failure doing it for 20 years to find power/ water fixing pools.
First saw a dousing rod used in a grave yard. It was described as a way to show disturbed ground. The teacher walked over 3 old graves. and it crossed and uncrossed 3 times. Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Used a plastic bottle to prove to us it wasn’t them moving it.

You’re welcome, let me know how it goes, part two is almost done, we take it deeper with a sand point.
What if there are rocks in the ground?
That was one of the best videos iv seen on this subject so far as I’m interested.
Is it necessary to pour concrete?
Sealing the well is important once the casing is set, yes concrete at the top.
i dug my well with a pvc pipe with a air powered die grinder on the end, i had to go down 90 feet
Wet sand at 18 feet makes this one a little more difficult. But that sounds awesome in the rift soil, never seen it done that way.
Me and a friend used black pipe sections 5 ft long and bored down 45 ft until we could no longer get the pipe up in the air without breaking the pipe we never got water😢
What is the average depth of the wells around you?
Do you still have the link for that hand auger. I got one off Amazon identical to the one you have, but it can’t come apart-it has one solid pipe.

What do you do when you hit a rock?
Near the coast that was never an issue. Smaller rocks would most likely pack into the dirt. A build would be a problem even for a drill rig.

Also must be a terrible TH-cam replier if you can’t do a little research to find out that Alabama is rotted with caves and rocks and I am much more likely to hit air or stone before hitting water in my area. Next time, let’s try not to insult someone you know nothing about. Just because you can hide on the internet and they can’t punch you in the nose doesn’t mean you should try to belittle them.
Everyone's an engineer these days omgggg
Sir, the pitch of your wrist can point your dowels. Can you not realize that???
Can you dig 1000 feet with this method?
I didn’t need to, so I don’t know the answer.
They are called witchy sticks and they really work on finding water and power lines under ground or in your house flooring. I've had no failure doing it for 20 years to find power/ water fixing pools.
$2,000 dollars to have a company dig the well? I doubt I could get the permit for that where I live, if I could get a permit at all.
Damn chicken driving me nuts!
Me too…. We moved them farther away at our new place in the mountains.
You have us watch this and when got water pump out you just stopped just a big waste of time .
I showed the well pump, pumping water. The video was on how to dig the well. I can do a video on how to set up a well pump if you think it would help.
First saw a dousing rod used in a grave yard. It was described as a way to show disturbed ground. The teacher walked over 3 old graves. and it crossed and uncrossed 3 times. Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Used a plastic bottle to prove to us it wasn’t them moving it.
I'd be afraid to cause a sink hole.
I use a fork stick myself
What is a fork stick? I’m unfamiliar with that term.
TangoRomeo 87 You don’t know what a forks stick is ?????
Is it just me or does he sound like Hank Hill?
Where there is trees there is water.
"Witching for Water" ?? Is there ACTUAL science behind this? 6:49
Sometime things just are.
I have no idea how it works, but someone taught me, and I can find natural gas lines, sewer lines, water lines, electric lines, and just water.
If witch across you weaping bed with those wires you find every weaping tile
