Dowsers hold the rods lightly in their hands & walk across the ground. When the rods on their own account cross, that is where you dig. At the well I dug, a dowser said the earth would be dry 15 feet down. Also, at 16 feet the earth would be dry. At 16.5 feet, the earth would be moist, & at 17 feet we would would have to stop digging & get out of the well, because the water would be coming into the well at a great rate. We started digging...5 feet, 8 feet, 12 feet. The earth was still dry at 15 feet & at 16 feet. At 16.5 feet, the earth became moist. At 17 feet we had to leave the well, because the water was pouring too much. Yes, dowsing is true.

i use a hardwood stick where 2 branches go into one branch. i use a knife to sharpen the single end - hold the branch with both hands and point it in front of you about waist high. it will start bouncing toward the ground where water can be found. also-- some dowsers use a piece of metal rod. i think its a gift that some people have. i have dowsed 3 wells in the last few years and have got water on all ocasions

Dowsing rods are said to interact with specific magnetic and energy forces of the earth.

Dowsing is superstitious pseudo-science, and has no connection with anything in reality. This is the science section, and you are looking for superstition. Go somewhere else, please.

In many ways, none of which are scientifically meritorious.
