I used bent metal rods to find our well in Ark. I have no idea if we could have found one some place else or what all I know is we didn't have the normal indications of water since it was a clearing on the side of a hill so we decided to try it. We got plenty of water. Grandpa Brown always said look at the trees like oak and see how they reach to the ground for water and you will find water. I guess for that matter if you would look at the type of trees that are growing in the area that may also indicate where you would have a good chance on water. Maples, cottonwood, willow and pecan are just a few that like moist areas you could try. I have tried the rods and have found water pipe in dirt and in a cement floor house. As far as the ESP things goes yes I do have that and have proven it to my family too many times. Strange stuff that ESP I learn something new every day about it still haven't figured it out. Anyone I think can do it if you listen to your body/ inner self.
