Water Witching Works: Down Home Dowser Gives A Money-Back Guarantee - The Original Georgia Traveler

Water Witching Works. His name is Charlie Patton and this down home dowser gives a moneyback guarantee. In Banks County near Homer, Georgia Charlie is the go-to man if you need to dig a water well. He’s a well wisher and a master at dowsing to find water with his divining rod. For $10.00 he will walk your property and tell you where to dig. When we met him in 1974, he’d found over 500 wells. Charlie’s dowsing rod is a forked stick, but not from any tree. It has to be from a fruit tree or it won’t work. He wets the tip, touches it to his chin and then starts water witching. It’s not magic or anything supernatural. Charlie says it’s just a “special talent.” About that money-back guarantee. He charges $10.00 but if Charlie Patton fails, he’ll give you $11.00 back. So far, he’s never had to give a refund. It's been called dowsing, doodlebugging, or water witching. Even the U.S. Geological Survey recognizes it as the subject of discussion and controversy for hundreds, if not thousands of years. In Banks County it’s simple. If you need a well wisher, call Charlie Patton. This story aired on WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News in 1974.
