Dowsing rods are tools traditionally used for locating underground water, minerals, or other hidden objects. Typically made of metal or wood, they consist of two L-shaped rods held loosely in each hand. When the rods cross or move in a certain direction, it is believed to indicate the presence of the sought-after resource. The practice of using dowsing rods, also known as divining or water witching, dates back centuries and is often associated with folklore and alternative methods of exploration. While many people claim success with dowsing, scientific studies have generally found no evidence supporting its effectiveness.
