TouchDown
Is it Friday yet?
So, We are doing some soil boring for soil samples / ground water samples at our plant and we had the city water and light guys come out to help us ID a fire main that was poly but didn't have a tracer wire burried with it...
The guy pulled out what looked like a single thin welding rod bent at 90 by his hand and would water witch to find the fire main. Once he had it narrowed down to within about 6-12" of the location, they brought in a power washer with a long extension and washed out a hole to find the main. He had it marked right on top of where it was.
My Dad used to water witch with a forked tree branch and could find underground water lines. I never tried it, but as close as this guy was able to ID where the fire main was, now I want to try it.
Anyone ever do it or know of anyone to do it? Do you believe or do you think it's fake?
