There are Two Models of the Divining Tool:

1. Horned Model (silver head)
2. Grooved Model (black head)

Both models operate the same way and achieve the same – they both divine for underground water. The difference is purely just cosmetic and personal preference.

The Different Components are:

1. Handle for Grip
2. Head (collective name for all components except the handle)
3. Rotating Barrel (rotates around inner hub)
4. Inner Hub
5. Notch (on top side of inner hub)
6. Nose (front end of head)
7. Numbered Dial on rotating barrel from 1 (shallower) to 8 (deeper)
8. Groove or Horn
9. Rubber Restrictor

Please see the gallery pictures below for closer inspection of the Divining Tool.

The clothes and footwear you choose to wear while divining are very important and the wrong outfit can adversely affect your divining accuracy and effectiveness. Likewise wearing jewellery or a watch can affect the proper functioning of the Divining Tool. Mobile phones must stay in your vehicle and NOT in your pocket. Following these specific instructions will significantly improve your accuracy while divining.

Before your leave home, follow these steps:

1. Remove all jewellery, metal piercings and don’t wear a watch.
2. Shower to remove dirt, deodorant, and any body lotions.
3. Dress in clean, natural fibre clothing. Cotton is best.
4. All clothing and headwear must have NO metal features of any kind, including NO metal zips or metal buttons.
5. Wear a cotton, metal-free, wide brimmed hat, also for protection against the sun while divining.

   

6. Footwear must have NO metal features. Check that footwear doesn’t have metal reinforcements hidden in the sole or metal eyelets for the laces. NO steel-cap boots!
7. If you wear a removable dental appliance that has metal parts, please remove the dental appliance while divining.
8. Spectacles with metal frames that are required for vision are acceptable.
9. Leave your mobile phone in your vehicle and NOT in your pocket.
10. Apply sunscreen for sun protection but wash your hands with mild soap after applying sunscreen to remove residue grease from sunscreen.

REMEMBER  –  BE METAL FREE!

The rational for being completely metal free is to reduce any possible interference from the metal during operation of your Divining Tool.

When you’re ready – Grab your divining tool with correct grip and off you go!

Using steam-distilled water in the  manner described in the Sipping System is crucial for divining fresh water. (Please note the Sipping System can be home-made from an empty bottle, lightweight rope and a long straw.)

George prefers to buy 20 litre containers of steam-distilled water. You need a large amount because the steam-distilled water has a dual purpose –

1. For priming the Divining Tool and your preferred divining hand, and
2. For holding a small amount of the water in your mouth while divining for water.

If you contact George by emailing diviningtool@gmail.com he can advise the best place to buy the steam-distilled water from a place in Malaga, Perth, Western Australia.

For a quick overview of How to Use the Divining Tool please click here.

Please use the correct finger-tip grip and arm position to operate your Divining Tool:

1. Using your preferred hand, grab the narrow handle of the Divining Tool with the fingertips of your four fingertips, pressing the handle of the tool into the palm of your hand.

   

2. Your thumb should rest gently on your fingers. Keep the thumb away from the Divining Tool. The thumb position is for balance only and it doesn’t contact the handle.

   

3. Use firm enough grip to ensure the narrow handle of the tool remains in perfectly upright position, but a loose enough grip that the head of the tool can turn side-to-side and swivel left to right.
4. Hold the tool with the elbow of your divining arm bent at approximately 90 degrees. Find a position that is comfortable for your arm so you can focus on the activity in the tool.

   

5. Your elbow should just hang in a relaxed position below your shoulder.
6. Position the head of the tool pointing straight out and facing forward ahead of you, with the handle completely upright. This is called the Starting Position.

   

   

DO NOT grab the handle by wrapping your fingers around the handle.

Use your fingertips and palm only.

Next – Learn the Basics of Water Divining

Or  – Inspect the Divining Tool more closely.

Before divining in the field, take time to learn and practice divining on a known underground water pipe (or garden hose) filled with running water by following these steps:

1. First please follow preparation and priming instructions indicating clothing choices and priming routine.
2. Put on your home made Sipping System and take a sip of steam-distilled water, holding the liquid in your mouth.
3. Adjust the rotating barrel fully clockwise on the Divining Tool to Position #1, i.e., when the number #1 lines up with the notch on top of the body. Rotate the barrel clockwise until the barrel resists rotating. Do not over-rotate or tighten barrel.

   

4. Hold the tool using the correct grip and arm positioning.
5. Then slowly walk across a known underground pipe or garden hose. Note: The pipe should have water running through it, so find one with a water tap you can turn on. Both the pipe and hose need running water while you are practicing.

   

6. The head of the tool should signal that water is below by turning left or right as you step over the underground pipe.
7. After stepping across the pipe, turnaround, re-position the head of the tool into the starting position with the head pointing forward, and repeat this process of walking across the pipe several times. Each time you cross over the pipe adjust your grip until you discover the appropriate grip strength that allows the tool to signal water by turning in your palm.
8. Always have steam-distilled water in your mouth during practice.
9. Adjust the rotating barrel of the tool on subsequent cross-overs, until you feel maximum pull. The pull is described as the amount the tool turns toward the water.
10. The numbers on the barrel indicate water (pipe) depth: 1 = shallowest; 8 = deepest.

Before divining for water, you need to prime the Divining Tool and your divining hand. The divining hand is whichever preferred hand will hold the Divining Tool while divining.

Once on location at your preferred water-divining site, please follow these steps:

1. Fill a small plastic container with steam-distilled water.
2. Fully immerse the Divining Tool in the steam-distilled water for a few seconds.
3. Then briefly rinse your divining hand in the same water to remove any salts on your skin.
4. No need to dry the divining tool or your hand as they can both air dry.
5. Keep the steam-distilled water in the plastic container until you’ve finished your divining session.

*Please note that if your divining hand sweats profusely while divining you’ll need to rinse your hand in steam-distilled water at frequent intervals to remove any salt from your skin.

Rinsing the Divining Tool and your divining hand in steam-distilled water immediately before commencing divining helps improve accuracy and purifies the tool, removes any contaminants or dust that may impact correct functioning of the tool.

For divining fresh water, you’ll need a system that allows you to frequently sip on the steam-distilled water. You can use a fancy bladder system available from most outdoor adventure stores. But there must be NO metal fixtures on the bladder system or straps.

George uses a much simpler system – hanging a plastic or glass bottle filled with steam-distilled water around his neck and uses a long plastic tube for a straw. You can easily make this at home with any plastic or glass bottle, plastic tubing, and a piece of lightweight rope. Leave the rope and tubing at an adjustable length until you decide the most comfortable position for you. If you have neck problems, you’ll need to hang the bottle so the rope goes across the chest rather than around your neck, as you’ll need to be comfortable to focus on the Divining Method.

An important part of the Divining Method is priming your ‘mouth’!

The key is to take a sip of the steam-distilled water, and without swallowing, hold the steam distilled water in your mouth. Holding the water in your mouth helps guide the Divining Tool and improve accuracy of the Divining Method. Take small sips only so it’s more comfortable to hold in your mouth. Hold each sip in your mouth for approximately 5 minutes maximum, possibly starting with smaller time intervals and building up to the 5-minute mark. The time frame is not important, only the quality and ‘freshness’ of the steam distilled water. Change the water in your mouth at regular intervals to maintain freshness.

Swallowing the water each time helps to maintain hydration so you don’t get thirsty while divining for water!

1.    Caring for your Divining Tool

1. Keep tool protected from dust and sand. Store tool in cloth bag.
2. Never immerse tool in tap water. Never use tool during rainstorms.

2.    Be Metal Free!

Wear cotton clothing, wide-brim hat, and closed-in shoes. Clothes, hat, and shoes all need to be metal free! For example: no metal zips, eyelets, or buttons. Mobile phone pstays in your vehicle. Spectacles allowed.

3.    Assemble and Use Specialised Sipping System when Divining.

You need a system that allows frequent sipping on steam-distilled water. Easily made at home, get a plastic or glass bottle filled with steam-distilled water, attach some lightweight rope, and hang bottle around your neck. Use long plastic tubing for a straw. When divining, regularly take small sips of steam-distilled water, and without swallowing, hold steam-distilled water in your mouth. Holding water in your mouth helps improve accuracy of Divining Tool.

4.    Preparation and Priming for Divining for Fresh Water

On location follow these steps:

1. Prime the Divining Tool by immersing tool in steam-distilled water. Let air-dry.
2. Rinse your hands in steam-distilled water.

5.    Correct Grip and Divining Position

Please ensure correct grip for proper operation:

1. Using preferred hand, grab the narrow handle of Divining Tool with your four fingertips, pressing handle of tool into palm of your hand. *DO NOT grab handle by wrapping your fingers around handle.
2. Thumb rests gently on your top of fingers.
3. Use firm enough grip to ensure narrow handle of tool remains upright, but loose enough grip that head of tool can turn side-to-side (left or right).
4. Hold tool with elbow of your divining arm bent at approximately 90 degrees. Find a comfortable position.
5. Position head of tool pointing straight ahead, with handle upright.

6.    Learning Basic Divining Method

Learn and practice divining on known underground water pipe (or garden hose) filled with running water by following these steps:

1. Follow preparation and priming instructions, and use sipping system.
2. Adjust rotating barrel of tool fully clockwise so Position #1 meets notch.
3. Hold tool with correct grip and arm positioning described above.
4. Slowly walk across underground pipe. (Repeat several times)
5. Head of tool should signal water by turning left or right as you step over pipe.
6. Re-position head of tool in forward starting position each time you cross over pipe. Adjust grip to allow tool to turn.
7. Adjust rotating barrel of tool on subsequent crossovers, until you feel maximum pull. The pull is described as amount tool turns toward water.
8. Numbers on barrel indicate water depth (1 = shallowest; 8 = deepest).
