Remember an old boss of mine, back in the day, divining for a water pipe that was supposed to be in a certain location. We had searched for hours looking for said pipe. Boss came along and asked why we had not located it, after telling him that it was not where he said it was he got two bits of fencing wire and started to divine. Being young and knowing it all we laughed at him. He continued doing his thing for a short time and said "it's here ". yeah right. got the crowbar out and stuck it in the ground and got an instant shower. He was spot on. Only thing was that the pump was about a kilometre away and I was stuck with the job of turning the pump off and repairing the pipe. NEVER had any doubt about the black art ever again AND I have seen it done many time since.

I knew an old man who could find anything with a "Y" shaped willow branch, I don't think you have willow trees in Australia but I challenged him and hid coins in the grass in his yard. he asked me to cut a Willow branch from the tree in his yard, then he cut a slot in the end and placed a coin in it and walked around the yard and found all of them! I tried it and it didn't work all that well for me so he put his hand on my shoulder as I walked around and the bark from the branch twisted off in my hands as it turned in my hands to point straight down at the coin I was looking for. I know it works!

Great video, I have always been told,one should not let anyone touch or use your rods. I have used a count method for depth. While standing at the spot where the rods cross, turn one away to make a right angle,then count as it comes around to cross over again.Can not say this works for everyone but it does for me and has been spot on. It is all connected from the brain.Cheers.

Thanks Jack enjoyed learning more about divining. I went to the USA in 1986 and a farmer over there taught me how to do it, he also taught me how to find water pipes as well as electrical cables (a bit of mind games involved in that but a good skill to have). I was also taught by another old diviner how to find gold which was interesting, anyway keep up the good work love your content.

Please keep sharing the videos! I used to use a pair of locate flag stalks to divine telecommunications cables out in the fields when my Dynatel 500 decided to not work. (Batteries) I still keep some locate flags around so that I can play around in the summertime. Remember to pickup the locate flags after the customer is done with them. We found that cattle will eat the flags and wire and then the cattle collect the wire in their stomachs. (Bad) Remember that not all people work with Divining rods!

I’m from BC Canada and I have used this system for years with great success. I use it mostly to locate water lines. I use coated bronze welding rods as my devining rods. I have found that the bronze rods give me a more accurate reading as to location and approximate depth. Love your videos. Enjoy and be safe.

My father was a water diviner and I've had a crack at it too. I reckon it has to do with specific body chemistry reacting to electro-magnetic lines of force generated by the moving body of water.

Water divining must have something to do with your personal chakra or aura or vibration or something. I was with a grader driver who easily located a water pipe, I had a go just to see if it worked for me and i got nothing!! Good story, always interesting content.and banter.

If you hold one in each hand, when they cross it is directly above the water. I have had some real success using a DOWSING BALL. I bought a set of "Bob's Balls" used in the Bobs Game, small wooden balls, drill a small hole right through the centre of one of them, thread a length of thin twine through the hole and tie a knot on one end big enough to stop the ball from falling off. Next tie a loop on the other end big enough for your "Pointer" finger to fit through comfortably. To use, thread right finger through loop and hold out in front of you with bent arm, wherever comfortable, then proceed to area where there may be underground water. The ball will either swing from side to side or in circles, mark the spot directly below the ball. Change dowser to Left hand finger and repeat initial exercise, when you reach the spot, the ball should do the opposite of what it did previously ie twirl if it swung, or swing if it twirled. If it does the same thing in both hands this is a false reading and you need to try in another area. Would suggest you GOOGLE Dowsing and or Dowsing Ball.

We had a guy who used a y shaped branch off a green tree with the branches around an inch thick. He would hold the fork pieces in each hand with the straight piece out in front. We were headed home in the cruiser with him in the middle in the front when the stick started to bend. He was holding the two pieces so firmly that they twisted off . The wire will not work for me but the do for my daughter. it is very interesting. No one seems to know how or why it works but it works.

Hi Jack. Just watched this one, the guys on Vice Grip Garage a utube channel from the states did some devining exactly the same as you did. At the cross over spot they put a washer on one of the rods. It started bouncing, he counted the bounces multiplied by 2 and that was the apparent depth of the bore. Try it some time.

My father's father could "divine" water/water pipes/etc-water sources. He used a forked "stick"--a lithe branch of willow/elm/etc. Sometimes, no matter how tightly he would grasp the fork, the branch would point downward and actually twist the bark from the branch in his hands! When I was 14, he demonstrated this ability to me. He told many stories of finding water when land owners could find nothing. He would ask the land owner where he wanted a well. Then, he began a circle--from that point and spiraling outward, growing larger until he would find water. My father also could divine when he was young. He lost the ability when he became a Believer in God through Jesus, The Christ. My grandfather was not a Believer in God, through Christ. This throws an interesting light upon the subject. Water divining has been associated with "supernatural ability".

Mark each side of your water finding, ya need a long piece of wire, bend on end and poke into the middle of the water cause, then take other end of wire out at 90° to the water cause, the get your rod and slowly walk al🎉the wire keeping your feet on the wire, when diving rod indicates possible depth of water, now my father taught me as he was a well digger. Good luck Jack.

Was it a business decision to avoid using the Autogyro for airborne station management? Beautifully simple aircraft that don't need long strips and can land on a five cent piece. Carrying capacity is probably lower (depending on the engine used). A two seater (fore and aft) could be used for feral shooting with dual controls (front seat passes control only in the air but still takes off and lands). The sole danger is operating them at low speed (below 50 knots) close to the ground, they aren't designed for that.

Jack for those who can’t Devine give them the wire then place your hands on their shoulders and walk with them over a known Contact spot and the wires should react. You are effectively jump starting them, then leave them to their own devices. Works most times. You can also Devine gold etc by holding something made from the same mineral in your hand and touching the wire. Great for when you are working a wall as the long wire points directly where to dig. Good luck😊

Well that was fun. I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and was thoroughly enjoying ( binge watching ) your content. So much practical information about life on a station in the outback. Camel pest control. Beef cattle , airplanes , water well management and now how to find the location for a new well. You use science, reason and logic via topical, geologic maps and the location of local foliage. I’m with you 100%. Now you pull out the divining rods and total delusional nonsense ensues. Your critical thinking skills have brought you to an 80 % likely spot but you will credit spiritually for the exact location? You might as well build an alter and sacrifice a goat or maybe pray to Zuess to get the same result. Thanks for a couple evenings of entertainment. Time to unsubscribe and find more people who are critical thinking. Goodbye 👋🏼 Hint Google “ is water divining real? “

Hi Jack being a water diviner myself i enjoyed the video. I think where you found your water was actually the edge of the stream where as Danny was picking up the middle of the stream. I find also as a rule of thumb that salt water will run in a East West direction of flow. Good qaulity water generally runs N/E S/W. I have been divining for nearly 60 years so have had a bit of experience. i am still divining in the South Western Corner of WA.
