      I don’t believe in dowsing, I have seen it done exactly once, and then a farm dam was dug with an underground spring directly in the centre of it, so my observations show it to have a 100% success rate from a sample size of 1, which is a bit awkward.

        Wikipedia agrees with you. Commonly viewed as a psuodoscience. The equipment is very good at amplifying subtle hand movements.

      Bottom soil: Is in the middle of the soils

        The earth is round, so bottom is actually top. Middle is deep inside the earth (“bottom”)

    Isn’t water divining pseudoscience? I get that isn’t the point of the post, but I always thought it was bullshit.
