I had heard others show a way to estimate depth as well but could not remember how that was done.

The way I was shown is, once you have located the line you put your crossed wires on the ground and slowly start lifting the wires straight up. Once the wires break the electric field have someone measure from that point to the ground and "bingo" that should be the depth. It wasn't spot on but its something to go with and sometimes it works. When the young man showed me this trick the plastic water line was exactly where he said it was but it was a little deeper. I expect it'd be more accurate with a metal line.

@@deanbarr5740 cool I will try that

thank you my friend. its been a stressful year for sure.

thanks Brother I hope you have a safe warm and blessed holiday. I been so busy lately with mom requiring more and more attention and care that I rarely have time to even get online much. I do try to catch up on videos when I can. seems like when I do sit and turn one on the phone rings, mom starts shouting for me and the dog starts barking wanting something. one thing for sure I'm needed around here. lol

I thought that was funny.

thank you brother! its been cold here one day and then hot the next. lots of people sick with bad colds around here but most test negative for the covid thank the Lord for that.

I'm trying to keep things good been crazy here with mom's dementia and this rescue hound has lots of issues as well. needless to say it keeps me busy around the clock.

some days I have my doubts. lol

thanks my friend he bless me daily and I give all the Glory to the Lord! with out him I'm nothing but dust in the wind.

thanks Andrew its nice to get a video out. been a long while since I made one.

thanks Fred I wish I had more time to make more videos. taking care of my elderly mom with dementia takes most all my time.

thanks its been a crazy summer and fall. I have shot some footage but just not much time for editing and uploading them.

I agree, I think faith and giving the glory to the Lord plays a huge part in it. I never tried brazing rods. always used copper with great results.

I hear not everyone can do it. you should give it a try.

thanks Gary I believe that people that can do things like this are blessed and perhaps even descendants from angels in heaven. I read that somewhere can't remember where. your wife is likely a very special spirit and soul. I like to believe that.

@@daveknowshow man how I wish we could have you over to sit around the fire pit and talk. We could probably go for hours if not days

@@tractortalkwithgary1271 well Gary perhaps when my time gets more freed up I may take a road trip and visit some of my fellow youtubers and stop over for an hour or so and see that fire pit. I love to sit by the fire, but you know that I'm sure.

@@daveknowshow , that would be awesome Dave

its been a crazy time here. mom has dementia which is not getting any better. I rescued a dog that has turned into a lot of trouble to care for. he has a lot of issues. seems to be getting better. we shall see how it works out.

@@daveknowshow One day at a time buddy. It's worked this far. 👍

thanks Don, I love ya brother and think of you often. praying for your health daily!

@@daveknowshow Thanks Dave. I've been quite busy doing daily little chores. Some days those little chores are more of a challenge. I'll tell you one thing, it's been 18 months since my stroke and I've recovered major movement but difficulty with my lazy left side. I sure did take a lot for granted but we need a good smack-down in life to make you humble. I'm ever so greatful that the Lord has spared me and allows me to be able to get the basics done. I thought about you and mom the other week and then your video appeared. That's how the Lord works. Be well my friend and say hello to mom.

I may try digging a well sometime and see if it works

this was a fun video to make.

thanks Tom I hope to get busy making some content in the future. just got a lot going on these days.

thanks Ed I miss making the videos. time to edit and upload is not something I have much of these days.

I chalk it up to another blessing from the Lord! I miss making and publishing videos. I have a few I need to work on. maybe I can make some time for that soon.

thanks Ryan everything is steady. mom's condition has gotten worse but thankfully its slow progressing and she still knows me 99.999% of the time.

Thanks Bob it seems like not everyone can do it. so you must be one of the blessed souls walking this earth as well. so long as we give all the glory to the Lord we will continue to receive his favor.

thanks for the kind words Jim. I hope you are doing well!

@@daveknowshow battling the Rona right now Dave but at 71 years old I think I am tough enough to beat it but it ain’t much fun

@@jimbennett1519 so sorry to hear this however, Dear Lord of all creations we come asking your healing powers of grace and love be cast down upon our brother Jim in his time of sickness. we know Lord that all things are possible through you and we humbly stand in amazement as your healing powers go to work on our brother Jim! we proclaim this blessing and healing in the name of Jesus our Lord and our savior Amen! you just sit back and rest Jim the Lord is working on you at this very moment!

@@daveknowshow Thank you so much brother this means the world to me. 🙏🙏🙏

@@jimbennett1519 praying for you daily brother!

I may try that next time

yeah I thought about that after the fact, but then realized they are merely a tool much like a Cross and all the Glory goes to the Lord. you notice how I look up to him in the video acknowledging he is in control. it is God's blessing on me that I can do this. not everyone can from what I have seen. so as long as I give him the Glory I know in faith I'm ok! Praise the Lord and thanks to him for all he has blessed me with. wish I could make more and publish more videos. maybe I will get some time to do a few over the next month. we shall see. stay Blessed my brother!

for sure the ending was over the top. one thingg he left out, the sewer pipe must be full of water, the location looked like he in the city, and the city will come mark out all your utility's for free, that why they say, call before you dig, now if this was in the country, starting off with a backhoe not so smart, as most sewer lines to the septic tank are only inchs under ground, unlike city sewers, as the steer pipe is down really deep to keep the grade going down hill for miles, were country homes have there own septic tank witch is only at most a foot under ground, the shallow sewer line and tank will never freeze even here in the long months of 40 below, a sewer line never hold water so it cant freeze, a septic tank is always working, making lots of heat, to the point the 6 to 8 feet of snow on top melts, the heat digests all the solids in the tank, that why you have to make sure your tank is always working and never dump salt, greases, strong cleaners, disinfectants, as all these kill your tank and lead to having to have it pumped out, a good working tan never need pumping,, once pumped you have to start from scratch to get it working again. my tank has never been pumped since installed over 30 years ago. i witched my own well plus many others using a crow bar

@@arnoldromppai5395 yes I agree septic tanks should never need pumping if working correctly. here they make us pump them every 5 years which defeats the purpose of having the septic system. may as well merely have a holding tank. lol thanks for the comment. oh yeah the line was empty no water in it. I been using these copper dowsing rods to locate underground wires as well so I dont think it needs water necessarily to work. I could be wrong, been wrong a lot in my lifetime. lol

@@daveknowshow you got to be kidding they make you pump them every 5 years.. good lord, nothing like starting frrom scratch every 5 years, it take good management to get them going and keeping it that way, like i said i have never pumped mine in over 30 years ago when i put it in, and my grand ma an pa never pumped theirs in over 60 years. thats right, it should never need pumping unless you screwed it up. i and 3 others have never be able to pick up wires or dry pipes, i use a sounder with a tone box hooked to the ground wire, cost me all of $40 to make

@@arnoldromppai5395 I'd love to see a video of how you made the sounder tone box and receiver. yeah and we have two tanks here at this house one in front and one in back. one for upstairs and one for down stairs. the down stairs I dont even tell them about so I dont have to pay to have it pumped. everytime they pump it the company just cant believe how well my tank looks. I keep the tank running well with the right kind of bacteria in there to break it down good. plus we only use septic safe paper and never allow grease down the drain!

just take a breath and relax, then it will happen!

I thought the ending was funny myself. appreciate the kind words I do miss making videos. just not much time to do it and take care of mom around the clock.

@@daveknowshow I pray for your mom from time to time Dave. How is she (and you) making out?

@@GrampiesWorkshop its tough brother. I just finished giving her a bath in the shower and washed her hair. doing laundry now and tending to the dishes so I can prepare the next meal. when I made this video I told Tim I like taking care of my mom but it would be much easier to get a job digging sewer lines every day. I did enjoy this little project. I do really appreciate the prayers Lord knows we need them. it can be emotionally draining to care for an elderly person. I will get through it.

@@daveknowshow Mom's are special. You are lucky to still have her even if the workload seems immense at times. God bless you!!!

thanks John hope you guys have a great weekend as well.

@@daveknowshow Is there anything to concentrate on blade types and number of blades used for tractor power capacity.

@@farmandtech blades as in mower deck blades? I dont fully understand. however with that said typically the owners manual will specify size and number of blades for mowers and size / length of blades and cutting edges on ground engaging implements. the manual is where I typically start.

@@daveknowshow I am looking for rotary tiller blades sir, here there are 3 type of blades in practice L , J , C type blades. For 36hp tractor comes with pto 28hp,people's insist to use 1 blade per pto hp so 28 blades are used in case of L blades.does it change with J type and C type blades?

@@farmandtech I don't think it changes with the type of blade just the number of blades. your way is likely the best way around here they tend to say so many horsepower per foot wide of tiller. 5 foot tiller takes 25 horsepower. 5 hp per foot. some say 4 hp per foot however, your way going with number of blades is far more accurate. you can get 7 foot tiller with less blades than a 6 ft tiller that has more blades and requires more horsepower. the best option is checking the owner's manual which may pinpoint what they recommend. hope this helps.

thanks, I'm trying to hold it all together.

thanks been a rough Christmas mom fell broke her hip so I been at the hospital every since nearly around the clock.

@@daveknowshow Merry Christmas to you and yours , fast cure for Mom. 🙏

@@eritree9794 thank you mom passed at 1230 noon today 1/1/22

yes first holiday with out my Girl Daisy to eat the left overs. I rescued this old redbone hound named Coppa he is a little over 2 years old and came as a rescue with low weight skin and bones, covered in ticks and no fur on 80% of his body, had lots of skin issues and bleeding. he has been on meds and special baths and seems to be getting better. he is a runner though and will run off if left unleashed. I hope eventually he will learn to just stay around like Ole Daisy Girl did. we shall see. hope you have a grand Christmas my brother!

thanks Dave much appreciated. I'm taking one day at a time.

@@daveknowshow 👍👌😉🍻

@@RCAFpolarexpress love ya brother!

thanks Bill

I hear ya brother I thought I knew it all as well and everyday I learn so much of what I dont know or was wrong about. I just have to laugh it off and keep trying. praying for you to have an amazing and blessed Christmas.

sounds like a good video to do. so far its doing well although I do not get much seat time these days taking care of mom requires most of my time.

@@daveknowshow Yes im aware. Gf watches her mom 16 hrs a day x 6 days. Sometime a blessing stares ya in the face and may not recognize it. We'll be waiting for your next vid, whenever it is. Until then continued Blessings

@@randthompson5716 thank you so much!

@@daveknowshow You are very Welcome.

its been a rough year. I lost mom jan 1st 2022 and its been crazy legal battles every since. I'm hoping I will prevail and be ok. hoping to make more videos in the future. just dont want to make a video burdening folks with all my personal issues. no one wants to hear all that.

@@daveknowshow I understand hope things look up for you soon

@@careyward3405 lots of folks praying for me so I'm hopefully optimistic .

i prefer dousing i never heard it called water witching until i made this video

@@daveknowshow I like your videos came across ur box blade video then seen This I’m just very sceptical as to How it works I belive it works but I think it’s spiritual not physics or science worst case demonic so I’d stay away from it.

@@henryhenry5897 totally understND AND RESPECT THAT! for sure it could be possibly spiritual. as a person with an electrical background I feel its electrical and magnetic pulses that create this reaction. the key is channeling your bodies electrical current with the earths rotation and gravitational pull. I think this creates a magnetic pulse that has some pull / push affect on the copper wire when held with the proper grip at the hand. to tight or to loose of a grip and it does not work as accurately. any place the earth was disturbed or dug up and or objects where laid or formed there it creates a change and the copper reacts to that change. I think some day in the future we will have hoover craft that can fly forward reverse up or down on these same principles. I just wish I could be the one to nail down exactly how to harness and harvest it. lol anyhow I sure hope its not something bad. all I can do is pray on it and give all the glory to God. so much could be said on that subject I could go on for days and I'm sure you could as well. I know we would both agree in more ways than disagree. peace love an respect my friend. may the Lord protect us from the evil one that lays in wait for us each day. Amen!
