Descripción
Devices used by people working above ground to discover water, minerals, treasure, archaeological remains, and even dead bodies below ground. Traditionally Y-shaped twigs, often of hazel, rown, or willow which, when their two prongs are grasped, twist and dip in the hands of the dowser as he or she approaches the substances or objects sought for. Alternatively, the rods consist of two metal rods held parallel a few inches apart, that swing across each other when nearing the sought-after substance or objects.
