Dowsing

Qualitymark

Anybody found that dowsing works, and anyone know of a reliable dowser in west Cork, if it does?

If you find someone who can do it tell them to contact James Randini and he will give them $1,000,000

See post above. Can I have 10% for directing you to it?

Damn.

Can do it with wire either but if the source is too strong it'll wrap around yer wrists!

Of course water dowsing works. Just get a good dowser. Perhaps contact the Irish Society of Dowsers or ask around. If the Vatican commended Abbe Mermet for dowsing (map dowsing for water worldwide), you can be sure it works. Just get a good water dowser.

And for the poster above, its Randi, not Randini, and all he is is randy for attention. More of a shyster than any of the people he has ever tried to 'expose'.

Real tin foil hat stuff.

People will always be sceptical but it does work if dowsing for water.
We got a well drilled here and the guy drilling it was able to do it with two pieces of wire. My father tried it and the wire crossed on the same spot.
I tried it and the wire crossed on the same spot as well.
We drilled there and water was got at 80 ft.
My father was in Aberwthswith with a group in a hotel and one of them was a real good diviner. They got on to him to try it out in the hotel and the rods went crazy, it turned out that there was a stream piped under the hotel.

I'm conflicted.......if you dug deep enough anywhere in Ireland you're sure to find water!! We've had two dug, first one ran dry 50-60yrs ago and it had been stated that if the well went dry, they'd find and drill the next one for free. So we've had the new one ever since.

I'm told he did dowse it with the wires though. Over 100ft down but we do live on a high drumlin so that's fairly normal.

The same guys drilling for geothermal have gone 200ft and no water in places.
I'm only going on what they told me, it was up in Wicklow I think.

Its potable water you'd be after. Not just water. water is everywhere in Ireland. Otherwise, you could go down to the canal (if you're near) and back up the slurry tanker and you'd be set for the year. No, dowsers generally look for drinking water, unless otherwise requested. So you'd be told estimated flow etc.

Well, the friends I was asking for seem to have ended up with a five-metre-deep root cellar, dug with pick and shovel. (They didn't dowse, just dug at the lowest point on the small farm.)

My brother can do it. Divining we call it around here. A guy on a track machine working at home one day showed him how to do it. He uses two bent welding rods. He has found they exact run of water pipes. Handy when you are digging across them.
I've to run an electric fence cable under ground soon, so we'll see just how accurate he is. He has pin pointed a 1/2" pipe within 6 inches so we'll see.
