Digging a shallow well from dowsing to digging to capping. This shallow well will provide water for our bees and supporting plants. This dig uses a modified hand auger and took about 4 hours to complete (17 feet with nearly 4 feet of water).

It isn't a God given gift anymore then a fortune teller reading tarot cards....do you really think if there's a aquifer/water pocket in that area that it will need "dousing rods" for a "x marks the spot?" 😅...if there is water there!! Then there is gonna be water everywhere else within half a mile of his "God given dousing rod spot"...to sum all that up, if he would have dug a hole anywhere in that clearing ABYWHERE! He would have e hit water

My high-school science teacher heard students arguing about 'water witching' in class and the next morning there were hangers heaped on his desk. Out went the class to the front lawn, starting in a line we wandered forward and stopped when we 'hit water' our pattern was perfectly showing the sprinkler system. With no straws on the rods only about 1/4 of students could recognize spots, from holding too tight. Thankyou for this fabulous video.

One of the stories my dad (country boy) told me in his last weeks before passing away was about the time he and my grandfather (city boy) dug a well. Long story short, at some point my dad left my grandfather digging while he went to the store to bring back some drinks for them to share when the work was done. When my dad got back, grampa declared that he had struck water, but my dad said that water was not good, that they needed to keep digging to reach the sweet water reservoir that would serve as my family's primary source of water for several years.

@ericliskey3695 3 жыл бұрын

I have watched several vids of hand dug wells and this is the best, IMO. Nice job, sir! I decided to dig one myself, mainly for kicks. using this method, I went to 25 feet. A few things I'll add. First, not everyone has sandy soil. This seems to be a popular project in sandy areas, judging by the various videos out there. The digging is much slower and more laborious in clay. It DOES work, it's just slower going and a lot more sweat and sore muscles. I spread my dig over three days, because two hours at a time was about all I could manage. You have to bear down pretty hard sometimes to make progress. Second, if you have rocky soil, don't bother, try a well point instead. I was stopped cold by a single piece of cobble about 4 inches long. I had to remove the auger, screw on a flange with some heavy bolts, and used that to knock it loose, then I was able to bring it up. So it worked, but anything larger and all that work would have been wasted. Third, it really is a butt kicker. Hauling 20 feet of iron pipe up out of a hole with a ball of mud on the end is a workout, and not for anyone who isn't in good physical shape. This guy doesn't try to hide the fact, but it's worth reinforcing. Unless you have very soft or sandy soil, this isn't an afternoon job. It's a full weekend. Fourth, it's quite difficult to wrangle 25 feet of pipe. I dug a few feet away from a tree, and would pull up all that pipe and lean it against the tree while I emptied the auger. If I had to lay down and pick up that contraption every time, I'm not sure how long it would have taken! Finally, I got to 25 feet and had very little water. Then it rained, and the water level came up 10 feet! Then dropped again. There's a lot going on down in the ground, and I expect to see the water come and go depending on wet and dry conditions. My two cents. FWIW.

You could only stay down there about 30/40 min.because you would freeze your ass off.. That water was so cold. I'm 74 now and this just made my day, Thank You..

Putting different metals on one of the rods, per say a gold ring, or piece of copper tubing, depending on your body chemistry, it will pull toward different metals. You just have to play with it and learn it as you do with a metal detector.

I have a couple friends, brothers, who bought property in the Tennessee mountains. They had a driller sink 4 spots and not hit water. That’s not cheap. The driller said he didn’t think they had water. The older brother decided to try to witch it with rods. He never did it before , but figured they had nothing to lose, it was free. They driller watched , kind of amused, then when the brother kept getting hits at the same spot from every direction, they had him drill. They hit an underground spring and the driller said it was the best water in the area he has seen . Now they were quite a ways down hill from the cabin, so they did have to invest in a system to pump it to the house uphill, but they have cold, sweet water now. A third brother built a cabin further down and runs off the same well. I would’ve never believed it would work but seeing IS believing.

I don't know if its the exact same phenomena, but while in college (or something similar) he had was one a trip with a guy known to be able to find water anywhere. And what he did was giving my dad a wooden stick in his right hand, then when he put his hand on my dad's shoulder, the stick starting pointing in a specific direction. They followed it until they found a little lake. I believe they repeated this several times and found different sources of water, but it would only work if his hand was on the shoulder. Despite the guy in the video using a bent piece of metal, i don't think there is a magnetic explanation for the effect, at least not a conventional magnetic/electric effect.

Many years ago, My friend and I dug wells in my neighborhood to earn enough money to buy a car. His dad had a portable pipe threading machine fitted with a notch that went on the T handle. We had a stand for it so all we had to do was put down ward force on it, and as the machine turned, the auger drilled as this guy shows here. Here was the other key- we made an A frame out of pipe about 8 feet tall, hooked up a come-along also called a chain fall, and used it to pull up the auger. Couldn’t have pulled up 60 feet of pipe by hand.

@TigerCreekFarm 4 жыл бұрын

The a-frame or derrick is key to drilling deep. Used the same setup to put in a 40 foot well. Always had a rope attached to the auger head and a pulley with a come-along at the top of the a-frame. Used the come-along to break the suction allowing me to begin pulling it up. Also allowed me a place to tie off while I changed out extensions. Thanks for sharing.

I grew up in a town in Michigan, in a 400 square-foot cinder block house, the kind that was built for veterans returning from WWII. When I was 14 my family moved to Arkansas, to the land where my father was born and grew up. The first house we occupied in the Arkansas Ozarks was smaller than the Michigan house and had no plumbing. It was my chore to haul water from the well. It took about 15 gallons a day to meet the family's needs. When you don't have a washing machine or toilets you don't use much water. We lived without running water for two years while we built a larger house with the amenities. The happiest memories of my young life are those from the roughin' it years in Arkansas.

The method shown in the beginning is not scientific and it is not about digging a well. This is called "dowsing" and is the same thing as a locator spell in witchcraft. In fact this is not using science at all, but it is using witchcraft to communicate with demons. I'm not kidding. In case you think it's the metal, dowsing is also done with plain sticks. It has no scientific basis. This is seriously a form of witchcraft, so much so that one of the names for water dowsers is "water witches". Seriously. In thousands of years, dowsing has not held up to scientific scrutiny. If it were scientific, we would have uncovered it. It is not, this is demonic, it is a locator spell. Other forms of dowsing are using a pendulum, and chanting and casting spells. This is not a science, it is witchcraft like an Ouija board. This method has nothing to do with leveling, or any other scientific instrument. This method is physically contacting demonic spirits to answer. It an an attempt to make contact with the spirit world. Many times, it is sheer luck that people find water (since it is everywhere), but other times, it is actually coming into contact with demonic spirits. If you open up the door to the spiritual world, there will be severe consequences. It's likely that if you searched for water dowsers you would find that they often met with some unusual and terrifying fate. I am dead serious, do NOT do this because this is NOT science, it is witchcraft. You are "divining", asking the spirits for guidance, like an Ouija board. That is what this "method" is, because it is not grounded in science, only religion, it is the exact same thing as looking for a message from an Ouija board or holding a pendulum over a map to try to find some secret location. Dowsing has also been done to search for gold or gems or anything underground. The truth is that if you dig anywhere, you are likely to find water. There is water under the Earth of almost everywhere. Just start digging and you will find water. You don't need to do locator spells like this, or other forms witchcraft. Water is everywhere.

I remember, when I was around 14 years old, around 1979, I heard about that and I tried that out and it worked. They would cross over water. It was pretty kewl. I often wondered if it has to do with the Earth's magnetic field being effected by water and thus also effecting the metal? Who knows, but it definitely works. You might want to grab a piece of foam from somewhere and tape it over your camera's microphone to get rid of the wind noise.
