Of course the excuse for it not working will be something about no human being present to complete the Earths magnetic circuit or something.

Good point! I may never get around to it.

Have the 'Busters ever tackled dowsing? Can't recall that they have, but I'd be surprised if they haven't. Seems like it's right up their alley.

Re: Dowsing AKA Water Witching

I agree DFT, it works very well and anyone including kids can do it.

I too think it has a magnetic cause/effect. But I have found it is not limited to water nor metal pipes.

Re: Dowsing AKA Water Witching

We have done several "blind" tests. For example, take three guys to an area with a buried line. Don't tell them where theline is - but tell them which direction the line runs. Have them locate it one at a time without theothers watching.

It works.

Why tell them the direction?

In my research for a video I saw that someone was going to tell about how it can find bricks or mortar as well.

What other things are you referring to?

In particular a 3" plastic gas line buried 24" deep. The accuracy in finding a nonmetallic, non-water line sort of scared me, and for a while I reconsidered whether there may be a darker or spiritual side to it all.

To narrow things down a bit. It's not required, but it works best when you walk directly across the line. Therefore you get the clearest signal for bystanders that are watching too.

I generally only use one wire - about six inches down and about 24" hanging out the front. If you fear you are tweaking it "subconsciously" or otherwise, try these things:

Slide the wire through another piece of pipe which you then hold on to

Have someone bury the pipe in sand

Try it blindfolded
