Is it just me or does he sound like Hank Hill?

Anny Samaritan to donate an auger to me please? I'm from Namibia.

خیلی خیلی زر می‌زنی کارتو انجام بده زر مفت نزن

Damn chicken driving me nuts!

Sir, the pitch of your wrist can point your dowels. Can you not realize that???

I put two 25lbs weight plates on the handle, makes digging go a lot faster. I'm in VA and have a lot of red clay.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 coat hangers find water. 😂😂😂😂😂

What do you do when you hit a rock?

Guys dousing rods don’t do anything. Water tables rarely differ between any 2 points unless the terrain has significantly changed. They are like rivers the whole area is covered in a layer of water at the same depth.

Hello brother. How are you doing? Thank you for the valuable tips on how to do this

$2,000 dollars to have a company dig the well? I doubt I could get the permit for that where I live, if I could get a permit at all.

First saw a dousing rod used in a grave yard. It was described as a way to show disturbed ground. The teacher walked over 3 old graves. and it crossed and uncrossed 3 times. Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Used a plastic bottle to prove to us it wasn’t them moving it.

strange- everything to do with land/farm etc inevitably the guy has a southern drawl. Anything to do with money/motivation/politics etc - Northern/Western American accent. Tells you what people do where doesn't it LOL

water witching is a scam. It's been proven multiple times.

Can you dig 1000 feet with this method?

I used the same technique to find underground utilities. It definitely works for many uses. A caveat to this is, there may be buried power, fiber, phone, or sewer.

haha... she's like a buck 0 five.. better let the man do that job.

Not bad! Not bad at all!
Is it still producing water at the same pressure/rate? All year round, or seasonal? Has it gone dry in the summer?
Great informative video. Thank you a lot for sharing.

serpentine breaks off into asbestos- like fibers and I wouldn't drink water at all with those fibers in the water so not very safe water

This is great, I think I'm gonna try this.I like farming soon much and thank you for your idea.

nice thanks i liked the video, good luck

Hello, I live in Virginia Beach, and want to dig a shallow well for emergency water purposes. It says you need a permit, I saw North Carolina also needs permits did you do this or you don’t need a permit for a shallow well? Says 50 feet away from septic or sewage I don’t have too big of a backyard.

I'd be afraid to cause a sink hole.

Watch the handle doesn't clobber you when you drop the auger in the hole?

the auger is now listed for $367 (CA$).. That is a bit much! Will try to source a better price. Great video. Have done water witching many times and it really does work. Our local water municipal workers use it as well to locate old water lines on properties.

I bought 10’ of black iron 3/4” pipe for $37.00 yesterday. They didn’t even have galvanized in stock. Lowe’s on 5/12/2022.

That was one of the best videos iv seen on this subject so far as I’m interested.
Is it necessary to pour concrete?

Oh my your chicken were so happy that you were drilling that well ,and your dog sure wanted to get a ride on your tractor so next to part two.

where can i buy this equipment and what is called pls

Where did you buy the hand auger?

Where did you buy your supplies and what is the blue thing called

Do you still have the link for that hand auger. I got one off Amazon identical to the one you have, but it can’t come apart-it has one solid pipe.

the dowsing rods are hilarious! you're trying to hit the water table, and the water table is literally everywhere on your property. you could put that well anywhere and you're going to hit water so long as you dig deep enough. you may as well used so dowsing rods to see where the grass was thinnest.

Where did you buy the auger and what model number please ..

Nice! I only gotta dig 350' + to reach the aquafier on my property...👍

I have been driving well points in ....I like your way better thank you for the great video

Please tell me you used a filter sock??

Please give me clear photos of digging tool

Runing sediment-laden water through a common jet pump is a very effective way to ruin the impeller and jet assy in a few minutes. Their plastic-based parts do not handle abrasives at all.

Where there is trees there is water.

How do you remove a rock lodgedi into the bottom if the area you want to make into a well which is hard to remove and you can hear water running underneath it,?

What to do when you hit a rock?

What the name of the water pump u using? I need one, hopefully it can be solar powered

They are called witchy sticks and they really work on finding water and power lines under ground or in your house flooring. I've had no failure doing it for 20 years to find power/ water fixing pools.

the rods will also cross when you cross a pipe or cable. So if you are looking for water make sure you to have your utilities located first.

Pretty cool and thanks for taking the time to make the video. Regretabally, for me, I don't live in an area with sand as the primary soil. About 3 feet down I hit limestone a bit farther it turn into serpentine. Although it's like clay it is much harder to dig through.

Shure try that in Texas.
If you can do this at all 99% of the water is sulfur water.
Most areas of Texas is lime stone VERY shallow. Surface to 10 ft that is why there are very few basements in Texas. Most drinkable water is two hundred ft to eleven hundred feet.
We also have very few trees west of I35 in Texas and those are short.
Most of them are 10 ' to 30 '.
If you live east of I35 things change drastically. North of Houston you have the Big thicket with lots of big tall trees and deep soil.

sick i heard s0me 0ne have t0 pay100,00 t0 have 0ne dig
