I was very sceptical and was reluctantly coaxed into giving it a try
by a colleague.

After a few minutes' training, within a few minutes I located several
buried services. We set a JCB to dig for them and they were located
*precisely* where the rods indicated. As a sceptic, I was astonished.

There must be many hundreds, maybe thousands of people in the
construction industry who routinely use dowsing to locate buried
services. The skill required is minimal. They do it without fuss. To
them, dowsing is just a simple, practical and effective tool.

The people who make the fuss about dowsing always appear to be those
who would not do it, could not do it, or (mostly) those who have not
even tried. They always have absolute, total "faith" that it doesn't
work, based on their strongly negative preconceived ideas and - the
one essential component - zero experience.
