Water Dowsers use many methods used to determine
specific information such as the depth of a water
vein. I have been water dowsing professionally
for about 20 years and I use several methods to
determine depth, quality and flow rate.
Pendulum
I use a chart with the pendulum. Hold the pendulum
over the chart, such as Walt Woods chart in "Letter
to Robin.
Swing the pendulum over the "0". Ask
the question:
How many water veins at this location?,
How many feet will the driller have to drill
to reach the maximum water flow rate available
at this site?, How far down to the first major
water vein?,
How far down to the 2nd water vein?
What is the maximum safe drilling depth at this
location?,
What is the minimum flow rate that is
recoverable to the surface at this site?,
What is the maximum flow rate that is
recoverable to the surface at this site?,
What is the quality of the water on a scale of
0 to 10 or 0 to 100?,
What is the probability that the driller, (Name)
will drill into the water vein and get a minimum
of 5 gpm?, (Some drillers have a high incidence
of wandering drill bits. Some wander off as much
as 30 feet from where they start on the surface).
Divining rods - L-Rods
Hold the L-rods so they are at an angle to one
another and your hands are one over the other.
Ask the question and start counting. When the
rods line up , that is your answer.
Divining rods - Y-Rod
Hold the Y-rod in the ready position over the
well site
Ask the question
Start counting.
When the rod points down to the well, that is
your answer.
Hope this helps

You may like to try the following method that
was shown to me by a Dowser who is no longer with
us, that does not require the use of a pendulum.
On one of your dowsing rods, make ten marks about 1/4
inch wide and one inch apart.
You now have a Scale, on one of your rods, of
ten units. Having located a water source, to find
its depth, hold one rod about 5 degrees below
the horizontal and mentally instruct it to swing
to the left for "No and to the right for
"Yes".
Ask if the depth of whatever you have found is
between (a) 1000 and 10,000 feet / metres deep
or (b) between 100 and 1000 feet / metres deep
or (c) between 0 and 100 feet / metres deep. Unless
you are looking for something over 10,000 xxx
deep, you will get a "Yes" to either
(a), (b), or (c).
Let us say you get a "Yes" for (b)
= 100 - 1000 feet. Grip the rod with the 10 unit
scale on it firmly. Allow the other rod to swing
freely. Hold both rods at an angle of no more
than 5 degrees below the horizontal, with the
"free" rod about 1/2 inch above the
"firm" rod and ask for the free rod
to show the depth in 100s of feet of the top of
the source you have found (or whatever units measurement
you are using) The free rod should swing over
the fixed rod and stop somewhere. You can then
read off the measurement. (say it has stopped
between the second and third marks - this represents
a depth of between 200 and 300 feet (or other
units). Now, mentally change your scale to 10s
of feet and carry out the same procedure. Say
the free rod stops between the eighth and ninth
marks which now represent 80 and 90 feet, you
now have a reading of 280 to 290 feet.
Finally, mentally change your scale to 0 to 10
feet and this time your free rod stops over the
second mark which will give you a reading of 282
feet.
This method takes about 5 minutes to explain
but, with practice, about 30 seconds to do it
accurately.
One thing that is rather interesting. I have
found that, when higher numbers are involved,
the "free" rod tends to swing to and
fro as if gathering momentum for its next "move"
up the "fixed" dowsing rod, and when you think
of it, the tip of the "free" rod is
actually moving uphill.
This Scale Method has many uses where numbers
are involved. For example, it can can be used
to determine the date of, say, an artifact, very
quickly, by asking for single numbers each time
but be careful which time scale you use. I would
suggest that you did not use AD or BC but instead
used BP (before present) and don't forget that
a date_ may_ possibly contain more than four figures.
You never know. So keep asking until you are sure
you have it all, then ask if you have, just to
make sure.
Another method, using only a pendulum, is to
ask the following questions having found the source,
and using the same depth as found in the method
above :
Is the top of this source more than 10000 feet
(whatever units) down ? "No"
is it more than 1000 feet down ? "No"
Is it more than 100 feet down ? - "Yes"
Is it between 100 and 500 feet down - "Yes"
Is it between 100 and 250 feet down - "No"
Is it between 250 and 350 feet down - "Yes"
Is it between 250 and 300 feet down - "Yes"
Is it between 250 and 275 feet down - "
No"
and so on until you get the same figure (282
feet)
It will be obvious to you that the pendulum method
takes longer, but it depends on which tool you
prefer to use or are more comfortable with.

The "bishop's" method of determining
the water depth goes something like this:
from a starting mark, (could use the well location)
ask for an indication of the depth to be the distance
from the starting point to the indication as you
walk out from the starting point in a straight
line.

NOTE: This is based on a dowsing principle that
cosmic rays when hit the underground water are
deflected at an angle of about 45 degrees (in
sand or soil) and simple trigonometry of right
angle triangle.
