Finding Water - Dowsing

[Mortblanc]

Usually a well is obvious and located near the house. It will be either the old large hand dug type boarded or bricked over or a capped pipe. I have even seen many wells with the house built right over the well with the access in the kitchen area.

If you go to the local registration office and look up an old deed transfer of your property the location of the original water source might be described in the paperwork.

From what I understand these records go back to the late stone age in most of GB.

It might be easier and more productive than walking about with a hazel branch and digging a half dozen dry holes.
