Had an older friend (passed on for several years) who was a dowser. He tried teaching it to me but I just didn’t have the knack. He however could find water like nobody’s business.
Yep... A lot of the oldtimers claimed to have this ability. There were several as I was growing up who claimed to find Gold this way. Always thought it was strange considering Gold is non-ferrous and not magnetic. But then metal detectors still work to read Gold...
My grandfather had the ability as well.
Very rarely did he miss.
There is water beneath the surface darn near everywhere. Only question is how far.
