The best way to dowse for a well is to find two veins that cross each
other. Then drill where they cross. That way if the drill wanders and
misses one of them, it will most likely still get the other one. That is
why we ended up at the same spot, although either vein could have been
drilled anywhere along the vein.
Wish you had been around when we drilled our well, Marshall. The driller, very experienced, commented on dowsing, thusly: "Whenever a driller dowses for water, he can be counted upon to "find" the vein to be wherever he can get his rig in to drill." Our guy skipped the dowsing part, looked over our lot for the most convenient site to place the well, where his truck could reach, and began drilling. He found water, but drilled to nearly 600 feet before he hit it. This in our town of Spring Valley, where water literally runs out of the ground and down the hill just a few blocks away! Sigh....takes a lot of electricity to pump it up, but it sure tastes good without all that chlorine, and recalling that our city water bills used to run between $300 and $400 every two months to keep our vegetation barely hanging on, I consider drilling a wise move.
