I have been reading and watching. The old rule if it sounds "too good to be true" keeps coming up in my mind. It looks like several people have bought them recently. Looks like they have all possitive feedback. It still feels like something isnt right. If they work like it says, how does anybody have time to sell them. I would be busy gathering in the gold. What about in town where everybody is wearing gold ? I bet the long range babies go wild ! LOL
Try this , read farther back into the ebay feedback. It seems everbody hasnt always been content with these thing. There have been some negative feedback. Could it be atributed to folks that arent right for these.
I dont know much about witch sticks. I know I my uncle alway witched wells for water. He used a small fork from a peach tree. Lived til he was 82 and through the years witched a lot of wells and never got a dry hole. Honest man 100%. Didnt charge for it. I dont know if it worked or not. I do know he believed. You may have to be some kind of mystic to have the touch. I surely dont have any kind of special touch. I am still not closed minded on these things. Simple as this, if they work I want some. If its a scam I dont want to give them anything.

There are people who feel the same way about our metal detectors. They laugh at the idea they can find gold thinking they are a scam. Of course we understand why and how they work.

I couldn't get to the link above describing the $25,000 offer of proof, but I'm guessing it doesn't offer $25,000 to prove you can find underground pipes. I know they can and do find water lines all the time so that would be very easy to prove.
