I want a waterwell/bore on my 2 acres in Bridgetown, but I can't seem to find any diviners. Where do I start? Anyone had any experiences they care to share?

I've "witched" water before, but it is a questionable method. I got 2 two foot long bronze brazing wires from a welder, bent them into equal sized "L"s....not everybody can do it, but you can try it over municipal water lines to see if it works for you. I am a scientific person generally, but it does work...there is something to it. be careful to hold them lose but level...go back and forth different directions...if you get a hit, try it from a different direction...don't let your sub-conscience mind take over and try to fool you. there are times for me that I could not stop the crossing of the wires the indication was so strong. The method is questionable because there is no depth meter on the wires and it could be anything, like differential density of the sub ground causing it...it could be water or something else. I have heard of "witching" graves because of the differential density I suppose.

Dowsing is quackery and foolishness, based on superstition and magical thinking. There are scientific ways to determine where to drill a well. Ask a well driller or your neighbors what they advise.
