Gil,
I quote from you ...

"What the heck! Maybe if any of you want to listen, some of us evil
farmers might actually be able to teach you something about ordinary farm
work that has to be done anyway. Like putting in a half decent strainer
post, or tanning a sheep skin, or finding fresh water with a dowsing wire,
or maybe just killing a chook . . . "

I'll take you up on this offer.  We are located on a ridge.  I know that
water runs through it.  So, how I can locate this water with a dowsing
wire.  I've been thinking if I can find the right location I should be
able to tap into this water source on the upper part of my property and
gravity feed to my garden.  The soil type is a mix of sand and clay
layers.  Oh, once I do locate the water I need to find an inexpensive way 
to tap it.

Thanks,
