No, no. *That method is for finding water lines, pipes, and telephone

Hmm willow trees do like very wet soil and often grow on the edges of
lakes.

In my old house my main drain line out to the street was collapsed
(clay tile old house). *It needed to be dug up and repaired. *The
plumber came out with a dowser to find the line. *He found it, dug
down by hand (6 feet deep 3 days of digging). *Repaired the line.
This was in 1984, the plumber took the job because of a bad economy
but he did not own a backhoe, I was impressed but did start to feel
pretty sorry for him digging every day in my front lawn. *He mentioned
he was an ex-convict getting back on his feet, had no problem digging
up a line by hand.- Hide quoted text -

I often wonder if any of the skeptics have actually tried using a
couple bent wires. They work for me but I don't base any decisions on
what they inidicate without other evidence supporting them. From
tests of a few neighbors, friedns and family it seems that they work
for at least half of anyone who tries it.
