Hi Larry, It REALLY works! I just tried it and I was amazed to see the coat hangers very slowly cross right over top of each other! I know about dowsing for water but never knew about this. I'm cemetery historian for Plains Cem. in Oneonta and I can't wait to go down try this as there are supposed burials in some lots but can't find any sign of a burial. Maybe this will help. Thanks.

About 6-8 inches from one end, bend the hanger to form a 90 degree angle. Lightly grasp the short part of the bent hanger in a closed fist, one in each hand. Don't grip it tight, just enough to keep from dropping it. Now, with your arms placed at your side to help stabilize your arms, balance the rod in your hands so that the long portion of the hanger points away from your body and are parallel to each other. This takes some juggling of your arms and hands and wrists. Somewhere that you know there is a buried utility line, as mentioned above, walk slow, steadily and smoothly, keeping. the rods parallel and horizontal, and cross the buried object perpendicular to the direction of the ditch. The rods should cross when you pass over the ditch and should return to parallel after you pass by the ditch. Most of you have water and sewer l! i! > nes entering the front or rear of your home.
