The first time I ever saw this done was in a community college class (evening) by a lady that worked in some highlevel government science program...ie...a very educated individual and scientific minded. She was talking/demonstrating "finding" metal objects kinda/sorta like metal detectors do. When she started talking and doing her show & tell I thought "what a waste of our time by such a smart person."
I DID NOT BELIEVE HER AND TRIED TO FIGURE OUT HER MAGIC TRICK.
After class, several people stayed to talk further with her. I then dropped my wad of keys on the floor and tried it...IT WORKED!!
Several days later, I tried it over a incoming water line...marked each spot and marks pretty well lined up.
THIS IS MY THEORY: It detects where there has been some underground disturbance of the soil...ie...water line ditch/trench, etc. As for the "metal" finding...don't have a clue.
I've never tried the apple/peach limb thing and only tried to locate water for a well one time. I was within 10 ft. of where a 200 ft. well was later drilled that produced 10+ gal/minute. A "pro" had gone ahead of me a few days before. I made NO ESTIMATES on depth of water.
I read a book one time about this and "belief in yourself" seemed to be the answer. I still don't "believe", but have seen it in my own hands.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
