Greetings listees,

When wood is used for dowsing it typically is fresh cut from a green
bough. Take that green wood and touch an electric fence- ZOWEE- it
does conduct electricity (personal childhood experience)!
I agree with the naysayers- I do not have much faith in the technique.
 We have a ranch with rather deep aquifers (600 ft. or more) that does
have shallow water IF you can hit one of the buried sandbars in the
Ordivician limestone. Two different dowsers with considerable
anecdotal reputation tried to find shallow well sites for us. We hit
water at both sites- about 650 feet down.
Grab your metal detector when you go hunting- it works from a particle
field we can understand.

Happy Hunting,
Briman
