Almost no one recognizes this antique tool today. It looks like a simple V-shaped tree branch, but it was once used for “water dowsing,” a practice dating back to the 1500s. The dowser—also called a diviner, doodlebug, or well witch—held the branch by its two ends while the stem pointed downward at a 45-degree angle. Walking back and forth, they claimed the branch would vibrate when water lay hidden underground. The method later expanded from metal-finding to locating water for rural homes.
