Dowsers are individuals who claim to locate underground water, minerals, or other hidden substances using a technique called dowsing. This practice often involves the use of a forked stick, pendulum, or other tools that are believed to respond to the presence of the desired substance. Dowsing has been used for centuries and is often associated with water divining. While some people believe in the effectiveness of dowsing, scientific studies have generally found no evidence to support its claims. Critics argue that any success can be attributed to chance or the dowser's intuition rather than the tools used. Despite this, dowsing remains a popular practice in some communities.
