My father retired after 28 years with Duke Energy as a lineman supervisor and I can tell you NOT ONCE have I ever or did I ever see anyone using clothes hangers to locate thousands and thousands of dollars of buried cable. They ALWAYS preferred 99.9999% accurate electronics made specifically to locate cables and utility lines, not to mention the liability involved in a "chance" encounter with someone's million dollar fiber-optic cable with the potential to cause millions of dollars damage if cut!! Dowsing/divining is BS!!! -------------------------------------------------- From: "Michael Murray" <mikebevmurray at gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 12:59 PM To: "mlangen" <mlangen at execpc.com> Cc: <Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Divining and dowsing-a question > I'm somewhat surprised that the Met-List doesn't have at least one or two > other folks on it that work or have worked in one of the utility > businesses dealing with underground utilities or for that matter someone > in the landscaping business.
