Certain trees roots (willow being one of them) will run to water, so there must be some type of traceable energy or something that water puts off.

The rods will consistently cross or go straight out at the same point above water. It doesn’t work with everyone and I believe that is one of the reasons it is not a widely accepted practice.

I formerly thought this was complete BS……even up to & including when I watched someone cut a small branch off of a tree & do it right in front of me.

BUT…..

Then they handed me the branch & told me to hold it with my hands facing up & keeping pressure on it with each of my 4 fingers. I walked over the same spot (former hand dug well….long since filled in) & the branch rotated INSTANTLY down as I walked over the spot…..2 feet later it shot back up. It was one of those “oh shit” moments.

This 100% absolutely works.

Funny thing is, is that his dad taught him how to do this. His father apparently used to do side-work for a well drilling company…..since when they could not find water on a chunk of land, they would call him up & he would tell them exactly where to drill & how deep they would have to go before they hit water. The owner of the company was always irritated that the old man with a stick could find water & his big drilling truck couldnt.

Good article!

Cool article Travis; nice to read about how people did things in the past.
