I use bent hangers and I agree with you. Pipes throw the whole thing off.
I didn’t think anything of it when the water company guy taught me... until I tried to teach my daughter. My son can do it, but my daughter is a complete dud. It’s actually freaky to me that the wires *don’t* cross for her.
After more than a decade, she still gets nothing.
Not of the occult, it happens for scientific reasons, more or less.
Hubby is a groundwater geologist. He said he saw someone do it first hand. The man told him to try and the same thing happened. it worked

Look up American Society of Dowsers for local ‘support’ groups. They have a Water for Humanity program worth investigating.
USGS is right - water is directly below us. Sometimes thousands of feet below us, other times within a short reach with little flow and bad minerals. Most well-drillers (water) turn to dowsers after using college educated geologists due to the high number of dry holes they found.
Dowsers, on the other hand, don’t need a college education to find good wells. It is a skill endemic to the human population that takes a great deal of humility to work because the key ingredient is ‘imagination’.
