Dowsing Rods have been used to find a great variety of lost and hidden items. The principle was used by farmers in the old west who were seeking the best place to dig a well in order to find water. The technique is straightforward enough. Holding one rod in each hand straight out from the elbow one can concentrate on a missing object or a question and the rods cross to indicate an answer.. Package contains two dowsing rods and detailed instructions for use.
