Well I joined the club of believers this morning. I'm setting my chicken coop in place this spring near the barn. I am going to drill four holes for a concrete foundation and it's going to be on the side of the barn with the electric service for easy access. So last night I'm searching the internet for gadgets to detect the location of the buried cable. I found more than a few and moved on to YouTube to see them work and ran across a video on Dowsing. Well this morning I watched it and said, what the heck, and gave it a try.
So Of A #%£$&!
It works! I just spent 45 minutes outside in 11 degrees. I now know which side of the driveway the electric line comes up to the house and where in the driveway it crosses. Where the line runs up to the barn. Just to be sure I checked known lines propane, water line from the well, sewer line to septic tank. Yes, yes, and yes.
I'm still shaking my head. Although the neighbors now have ample evidence of my going crazy I can't wait till the Mrs gets home to show her.
Oh yeah, the gadgets online, I'm not placing any orders anytime soon.
