Finding Water - Dowsing

[Devonian]

Well's will normally be found on the lowest levels, so if you have a sloping garden, then don't waste time hunting around the top of the garden go straight to the low point.

Also its not uncommon especially in towns for house to have wells in their basements.

Also have a look at http://www.old-maps.co.uk enter your postcode and look at the maps of largest scale available, around the 1950's is usually best for these sorts of details - they will often show known wells.
