Sure....my rig is all ceramic switches and hydraulics. We don't even handle the rods, they feed in from the carousel.

So, I can stand on the platform and post.

I have been witching water wells for 30 years and never missed once.I don't charge a dime as the people that showed me how didn't and they were legends around here.

Thank you.

That is the same where I live.

Strange that one who offers their services free to help others and to help others save money get blasted by well drillers.

Actually, I guess it isn't strange cuz you are saving people from spending extra money to well drillers.

Just gotta follow the money trail to explain why well drillers get so upset and try to belittle dowsers/witchers.

I don't get upset....not at all. I just don't drill the well. Like I said before, it is not an issue around here.

I have yet to see any links to support witching.

It is odd what some believe.

Rife hunting season for deer is near in Michigan.

The night before many people will come to our house for a prime rib diner. This will insure a successful hunting season for my hubby and his friends.

And if someone sneezes, I will say "God bless you".

What I like most about witchers/dowsers is I have never met a successfull one who was a pompous braggard.

I can't say the same about well drillers.

LOL.

I have never heard of a successful witcher either. Something we agree on.

Why don't you post some links proving your stance.

I have posted several.

I don't need---links--

Results will suffice.

When a well driller picks a spot and it is a 330 ft well that ( after 7 years has not enough water) vs a witcher/dowser who picks a spot and after 29 years it still is going strong, I don't need links

Not just me, but 3 other neighborsd.

The amount of money saved drilling a 67 ft well compared to a 330 ft well is better in my pocket than in the well drillers' pocket.

The fact I don't need a new well every 7 years makes the savings even better.

No.

I drill by computer scan along with knowledge of the cuttings.

Now, I could post my results. Could you???
