Dowsing is a type of divination employed in attempts to locate ground water, buried metals or ores, gemstones, oil, gravesites, and many other objects and materials, as well as so-called currents of earth radiation, without the use of scientific apparatus. There is no accepted scientific rationale behind dowsing, and there is no scientific evidence that it is effective.

Editor Ben Marks of Collectors Weekly tracked down the family of a Wyoming water witch. They shared with him stories of going out dowsing with their father.
