    3. I can also use divining rods or a dowsing stick to locate burial sites. With some practice you can even ask the devises simple questions and they will respond with yes, and do nothing for no. How bout it Justin, several of us went on our first expidition together. I can locate water, sewer, power, phone lines also. After one is good with them they will also work as a metal detector.

    3. When I was quite young we had a major clog in the sewer line and my dad could not get it open. Since we lived in what was once a log house, he knew the sewer line could be broken or infiltrated with roots and also, he did not know where to dig. My mother used a pair of ordinary pliers, held them by the handles straight out and when they dipped downward a stake was put in that spot. She ended up mapping the entire line and when my dad started digging - there it was. I tried this many times, but don't have the knack for it, I guess. Gloria Harbach
