Water Dowsers learn the hard way - through the dusty taste of defeat Yet experience is the only teacher in this game. Here is one lesson...
In 1985 a relative bought a lakefront cabin lot and started to build a cabin. This was 35 miles from St. John’s, Nfd. In 1987 1 visited the lot and Dowsed for a well. I located a site near his cabin. It showed that a dug well 5 ft. deep would give him plenty of good potable water year round. Dowsing with “L” rods showed 2 veins of good water coming in on the East side.
He manually dug the well. At 5 ft. he got one vein of good water, and one vein of bad water. Both veins came from the South side. The water was not fit to drink. Something was not right.
Later I Dowsed another well site on the lot, this one showed excellent, with good veins of water coming in on the east side at a depth of 12 ft.
He dug this well down to 12 ft. and got no water. I rechecked this site with “L” rods and got no response. I selected another site nearby that showed 2 veins of good water at 12 ft.
By this time I was so embarrassed that I helped him to dig this well with his pick and shovel. We dug to a depth of 14 ft. We did not find water. I rechecked the site with the “U’ rods but the water had vanished.
Right now he need water and I needed a face-saving way out. To try and solve the problem I now returned to the first well. I traced the one good vein of water back for 10 ft. and when I felt sure we would be successful, I helped him to dig this site down to 14 ft. but we did not locate any water. I rechecked with “L” rods and now I could not find water at any depth - yet my first Dowsing had said 5 or 6 ft. His holidays were running out, he was tired and disappointed - and I was embarrassed beyond words. The skeptics were having a field day. I did not know what else to do so I left the cabin area to go home and think.
During the time all this took place I was using “L” rods, “Y” rods and pendulums for both distant and on site Dowsing for wells, hidden objects, rays, etc., and was quite successful everywhere - except on this one cabin lot. I knew there was something wrong but could not locate the problem.
hi the spring of 1987 1 applied for membership in A.S.D. and received my first Quarterly Digest. It was for May 1987 and on page 47 1 read “Deflected Images” by Bethe Hagens.
It said that Dowser Earl Austin, California, said to check for Zinc in Dowsing areas and cancel them with a copper loop. After considering this, I used a plastic homemade pendulum to map dowse the cabin lot. I found an oval shaped pocket of zinc ore 2 ft. underground and 25 ft long. I also located a point where a heavy copper wire “U” would cancel the zinc effect. Next, I used the pendulum to map dowse for a well site on the lot and traced in the water veins.
Next day I went to the cabin lot alone. With “L” rods I located the pocket of Zinc. I also located the neutralizing point. I pushed the inverted copper “U” into the ground at this point to a depth of 3 inches. Then I asked the L rods if there was any Zinc, galvanised Iron or magnetic flux in the vicinity that would give me a deflected or false image or interfere with my quest for good water? The “L” rods said NO. Next I used “L” rods to pinpoint the well site I had found and marked on the map. I set marker stakes at the well site. I checked for depth and “L” rods said 11 ft.
As a recheck, I now removed the copper “U” from the ground, and when I now checked with the “L” rods it showed that the Zinc was once again effecting my Dowsing. The new well site I had just completed marking appeared to be 45 ft. distant and showed no water where it really was. I Dowsed the Zinc pocket again, and replaced the copper “U” into the neutralizing point. The pocket of Zinc now stopped misleading me. I found the “L” rods now showed the new well site where it was marked.
Later the cabin owner dug this new well site and he found good water in the amount and depth that I had predicted. We were both happy. However, the non believers said that we found water because we had dug so many holes. Ever since this happened I will always ask for Zinc, etc., that could interfere with my site location. If I find I have interference, then I will use the copper “U” to cancel it out. Beware of nearby galvanized well liners, culverts and fences. I do not know how or why it happens but when I map Dowse this cabin lot I will always get false locations unless I place a mental copper U at the Zinc pocket - then everything will read normal.
I felt I was an experienced Dowser when all this took place and I am submitting this so that members will see that we all have problems at one time or another. Sometimes a Dowser will be somewhat astray in his predications and he should search out the reason why. If he searches diligently he will eventually find what he is seeking.

Any good water Dowser knows that just because the pendulum circles, the L-rods cross, or the Y-rod pulls — it still isn’t time to call in the driller. Everything from complex geological analyses to consultations with long-time residents may precede the actual digging of a well. Dowser Earl Austin of Grover City, California has another caveat to add to the prep list: check for the presence of zinc or galvanized iron in the immediate vicinity: “Zinc in damp ground causes or draws the radiesthetic image of metals or a water source to it”.
Austin presented his findings at last summer’s ASD conference in Santa Cruz. “We went to the field for demonstrations. I asked for water Dowsers, and a young girl said “I’m just new at this, but it works for me”. I told her to go ahead and find the nearest water above four gallons per minute. She had a nylon “Y” rod and used it very well - went right to the water vein. The others went along, some using devices, some just watching.
“I told them all that there could be some zinc or galvanized iron buried nearby, and if so, it could be drawing the image of the vein’s true location enough to cause a driller to miss the water and get a dry well.”
In his own experience as a professional water Dowser, Earl had learned the hard way - three frustrating experiences with dry wells, for three separate clients - before he pieced together the connection between zinc or galvanized iron and what he calls “deflected images”. He asked his workshop participants if anyone could Dowse to see if there was zinc nearby.
“Again the young lady was the one to locate the zinc. I had buried a small amount of zinc near a little oak tree. I uncovered it and hooked a small copper loop to it, and the water vein disappeared and showed to be east of us. Some one hundred feet ! They all went to it using rods, pendulums, and L-rods. Some had puzzled looks on their faces, but I was not contested.”
It is Austin’s theory that copper acts as a hadalyst. Where a catalyst causes a reaction, a hadalyst prevents one from taking place. Copper somehow nullifies the image deflection of zinc.
“You have to be observant,” he says, “Even a galvanized fence that seems a long way off can cause problems.” He believes that one can speak the deflected image of a vein back over the true target with zinc not neutralized, but it will hold about two minutes and then goes back to the zinc. “I hope this may help many dowsers avoid disappointment”.
I have been Dowsing for forty six years and during that time I had plenty of Dowsing problems caused by magnetic flux. Deflected images often put me off target by fifty feet, or more, and that can be both embarrassing and expensive.
Recently while working on a remote Dowsing project I kept havingproblems with deflected images. It was frustrating, so I began to search for a permanent cure to this age old Dowsing problem.
Eventually I acquired a pure copper bracelet such as the one people buy at the local Pharmacy to help ease their arthritis pains.
I am right handed so I placed the copper bracelet on my left wrist, and while wearing that bracelet on my left wrist, and while wearing that bracelet I had no problems whatsoever with deflected images. Now I was right on target in both map and field Dowsing. I also discovered that while wearing the bracelet my depth of water, etc., was accurate. Apparently magnetic flux had been misleading both horizontally and vertically.
I also had a left handed Dowser do some tests both with and without the copper bracelet. This showed that a left handed Dowser needs to wear the bracelet on their right wrist - I do not know why.
Testing showed that while wearing the bracelet a Dowser can use the Pendulum in either their right or left hand with the same accurate effect.
Further testing showed that a Dowser could wear a pure copper bracelet, or a pure copper wrist chain, or just a piece of bare pure copper wire wrapped around their wrist, with them all having an equal effect, providing the right handed Dowser uses the left wrist, and the left handed Dowser uses the right wrist.
While wearing the bracelet I am now getting more accurate readings with Y rods, L rods, The Pendulum and the Bobber. I have ended my problems with magnetic flux.
My information dowsing says that by using the copper bracelet, chain or wire on the appropriate wrist, a Dowsers accuracy may increase up to sixty six percent.
Over the years I have viewed many pictures of the Ancient Egyptians, and I often wondered why it was that despite their great wealth, they were usually shown wearing copper bracelets, and carrying various Dowsing implements.
Is it possible that the Pharaohs knew about the neutralizing effect that copper bracelets had on magnetic flux and deflected images, and just carried that information with them into the Tomb?
