    I was going to make the same observation... they either both tilt inwards, or both outwards. I don't believe I've ever seen someone do it where they both point in the same direction... at most, one stays forward while the other moves.

    Watching that guy check for the hose... a simple blind test would be to blindfold him, and have him walk towards the hose placed at a random spot in the driveway. His rod seems to be very accurate, so he should have no problem doing that, and 10-15' worth of space should show whether or not he's fooling himself.

    That does not prove anything..... I noticed you had the green clips on it and I am sure they have some time of cat detector in them.

    Excellent video. I would like to nominate Marvin for a Tubey (or whatever the top acting award is for a You Tube video). Excellent job Marvin.

    Oh my gosh, Bill! I was so fascinated by how the cat didn't do anything to give himself away that I completely failed to note the cat detector clips.

    If you only took one trip to the hardware store, you didn't do it right.

    What's funny is that I had a glass of water sitting on the floor next to me. If you look at around :50 you'll see me turn around and notice that the kitty cat happened to hop up on his "kitty condo" at just the right time. LOL. I had to quickly reconfigure it to dowse for kitty cats instead. It's OK as I are an engineer and was able to quickly reconfigure it for feline detection.

    Unhappy

    Near my place of work there's some railroad tracks getting rebuilt. Yesterday there was truck from a utility service locating company parked nearby, I asked where their forked sticks and bent metal rods were.


    Man, some people have no sense of humor!

    John that video is down right creepy. I think you should get on board with Chris Angel and start a new tv series. He could levitate and you could dose for kitty's. Come up with a catchy name "Cat freak" or "devine mind" I think you'd be rich.

    John, were any cats harmed in the production of this video?
    Measure twice, cut three times, start over. Repeat as necessary.
