Anyone here tried dowsing?

1. Yes I have, and it works.

Back story, I was running a campground with almost 1,000 people in it, the local water district came to me and said, "You have a BIG leak, you have two hours to fix it." One of the campers saw me frantically running to and fro and asked me what the problem was, I told him and he told me to get a wire coat hanger and bring it to him, (said camper was a retired plumber). I did as instructed and he proceeded to cut the hanger in two pieces and shape them into an L. We went to where I thought the water lines were and walked back and forth perpendicular to the lines, every time we crossed the line the wires would cross in his hands. Finally we got to a point where they didn't cross, he told me to dig there and viola there was the break.
Back to the present, I have a farmer friend with many acres, and with our water problems here in Northern California he's had to dig some new wells. Most people would put the well in a corner of a field close to power, but he has brought out his dowsing sticks and moved the wells, sometimes just a few feet, sometimes a long ways, but each time the output was a great improvement over previous holes or nearby ones.
