WTF? Is this for real? My well went dry, thanks in part to the frog pool, and I now have 2-$2500 holes in the ground but no water yet. A guy told me of someone who will find water with a stick for $200. Is this bs or what?

I've seen that on TV...2 sticks and the water under the earth imparts diff electrical properties..So the sticks cross as he walks over it..Make sure he offers a money back guarentee...Maybe you could shoot into the ground like the Beverly Hillbillies and strike water?..Listen to a story bout a man named Chevy..Ran around with a gun and was lookin' pretty heavy...Then one day he was shooting at some frogs.....And up thru the ground came'a bubbling grog...Water that is Alabama tea!!!!!(sung to the theme of the Bev. Hillbillies):eek:

"Water witches" that's what my grandfather used to call the people who find water with willow twigs.
The funny part is it usually works. Maybe they're just lucky but we had 3 wells over the years and all we're done via that method.
They take a fresh willow branch and walk around until they find a spot where the branch bends slightly, and that's where they'll mark.
It's wierd and pretty old school but for some reason I still have to believe it works.....
If you've already spent $5000 on digging wells another $200 won't hurt too much..... What the hell give it a shot....

I think that works. You have to have the right person do it though. Like scooby says, if ya already dropped 5K what another 200?
I think you'll be tickled with the results. Please, have him try it and report back (maybe he'll not charge if you come up dry?).

Hey Chevy, Sorry about the water thing..my parents hired someone to "witch" their well..they've got plenty of water. You might want to give it a try. My well could be next...damn this drought. Cay

Well this guy is walking around my property with a Y shaped stick. He looks like one of those Sleestacks from Land of the Lost. I'll let you know the outcome. So far he's found 4 golf balls.:Z

Can't you just glitch into the well? Seems to work for other things.
