  1. dowsing rod

    A dowsing rod is a Y- or L-shaped tool, often made of metal, wood, or plastic, that is traditionally used in divination to locate ground water, burial sites, or other underground objects or materials like minerals and ores. It is believed that the rod moves or twitches in the dowser’s hands in response to the presence of the hidden object. This practice, also known as divining or water witching, is not generally supported by scientific evidence.
