Time to dig a well! I missed the "witching" of the well. Dave said it was really neat. The guy walked around in the timber and found a twig from a wild cherry tree. He widdled it down so that it was in a "Y" shape. He walked around with one hand on each of the "Y" points and the middle point facing up, against his forehead. As the twig "sensed" water, it would immediately point downwards and vibrate. They could tell the depth and the amount of water just by how much the twig vibrated. Creepy! I wish I could have seen it!
He found several spots that had water, but located one that was better than the others. He said that we would dig down 18 feet and find water, but should dig it 48-50 feet. So we did. We hit sand on the way down, so they had to move the spot a little and get a huge metal tube to drill through. But now we have our well!
