What a fascinating story! You guys inspired me to make some coat hanger divining rods. Yes, they totally work! I was able to locate active irrigation pipes (both rods go inward,) empty irrigation pipes (gave me one rod in and one out=both rods went to right side of body.) The rods also indicated other underground water veins. I even got indications over several pet graves here in the property. I am totally amazed and look forward to practicing my new hobby, DOWSING! Thanks so much for sharing this interesting post.

Bravo and congratulations on your new talent and ability, ChicaSierra. Glad you were inspired and successful.

Hope you find many treasures with your dowsing. And don't worry about any skepticsm, the Salem Witch Trials are long gone. :rolleyes:

I think it just goes to show that, like Hamlet says to his naysayer in the play, 'Hamlet'...

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."






I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

So true, Pompano! Thank you for your belief in the practice and your encouragement! Maybe one day, I'll take my skill to Baja...perhaps I will find some good, pure water for my friends and family who live in the Gonzaga area :yes:

The granite mountains just west of Gonzaga Bay store all sorts of water and you don't have to go far from the beach to see it above the sand. I can only imagine it continues to flow east under the sand. You should do well finding where to dig a well!

Just a mile inside the Arroyo Santa Maria canyon, in May (about 6 miles from the sea):



The Las Pamitas oasis is even closer to the bay, just south of this arroyo.


This tiny waterfall is just over a mile west of the Gonzaga Pemex. The water is mineralized and creates a giant glacier of white soda and future onyx...

Yes, David....Such a wonderful place. What feels like a Sahara desert at the 'trailhead' turns gradually into a full blown oasis! I haven't made it to the top yet, but plan to, one of these days. I'd also like to check out (dowse) the area where the wash meets the gulf...P.F./Sacraficio:saint: I am always amazed at how some of the local fresh water wells are so close to the coast.
Also, some Gonzaga friends recently reported that Las Palmitas is now totally fenced off and inaccessible (I guess, for livestock, or??)..... Too bad. Nice place to check out. An 'old timer' told me about taking their rigs out there for a 'car wash,' pump and all...only to be sand blasted on the way out...silly men.
BTW, I hear there is now quite a bit of water at La Turquesa, from the deluge.
My brother (family of 4) spend months at a time in P.F., relying on a homemade de-sal water system from a shallow salt water well. It works pretty well, but ground water would be my preference/ dream.
Anyhow, thanks for the cool pics/memories!
