I tried dowsing to find a buried water pipe (and avoid it) this weekend. The rods, they swung really convincingly and repeatedly, for two of us, including eyes shut, all along a line which I then spray painted onto the ground. |

How are you a sceptic if you spent all day digging in the mud on the say-so of some sticks? |

Think about this: how could they move? What provided the energy for them to move? You say it's just bent bits of welding rod, not even 'blessed' or whatever. What would make them likely to move but not other bits of metal near water? |

>>5330 - Go into a huge field one day, ideally miles wide. Firstly, use the rods, dig wherever they cross, ideally hundreds of times, recording your results. Then, generate the same number of co-ordinates randomly in the same area and dig there. Only if the rods are near 100% accurate and at the very least far more accurate than random chance could this have anything to do with it. |

Dowsing rods are just as effective as those bomb detectors that bloke sold to Iraq. |

Dowsing is pseudo science at best. It has been examined using scientific methods many times over, and you are not going to find water pipes or even groundwater with any kind of reliability beyond pure chance. |

I'm sure I read once that a lot of water companies in this country still use dowsing rods, despite their clear inefficacy. |
