I JERK OFF TO ARCTOPUS
The Dope
Hi.
I don't consider it to be a lie. In fact, that method can be pretty accurate. When my parents were building our house, an old man came out with a divining rod to find a good location for our well. The welling company dug there and hit a really strong source, which they claimed was good enough supply 25 houses and sure enough, it hasn't run dry once in the 25 years they've lived there, even during severe drought. That old guy knew his stuff.

My college roommate is a geologist, and runs around MA measuring shit like that and cleaning up oil spills and stuff...he says that they actually trust dowsers, and has seen some crazy examples of dowsers knowing shit no one else could've known. I don't really buy it, but...

well, i always thought it was just waterhunting using a forked stick, but I guess there's a lot of dowsing methods and a lot of things to be found underground besides water (oil pipelines, whatever).
no one really knows how it works (or even if, I guess), but my ex-roommate tells me it's cheaper to pay a professional dowser a few hundred bucks before they start digging to see if they're at the water line they're looking for, which costs thousands and sometimes has to be repeated to get the right spot. more often than you'd think, the dowser works, at a much higher success rate than just guessing would give you.
the most common way involves walking around with one of those forky sticks until they feel it twitch downward. sometimes it's said to be so violent the bark strips off the stick right in your hands as it jerks down. based on where and how hard it twitches, the dowser can supposedly tell vaguely how far down water is...
