About witching ...
When my dad worked for the utility, the crew needed to locate and avoid some buried lines (water or telephone ... I think phone ...) One of the guys had the bright idea of witching for it so they’d be sure and miss it.
Direct hit. Cost $10,000
It’s funny, years ago I mentioned I was having a new well sunk and it was right on the line, neighbor issues, etc. and the well driller before he set up he walked the line with a fresh cut peach tree stick to make sure he hit it the first time for me.
I thought it was funny, so I told the story here. I couldn’t believe the responses I got, I just kicked back and munched on popcorn while people got quite animated about the subject.
Amazed me how many people truly believe it works tbh, and were not afraid to claim it.
