Water witching and wells in Hoosick with David Kessler
Hoosick area well drillers rely on dowser David Kessler to find underground water. The piece recounts his dowsing method, deep wells, and a family history of drilling, including a Grandmother Moses project with a large cavity and high water yield. It notes costs, rigs, and the neighborly lore surrounding dowsing in a small New England town.
