Do divining rods really work?
Whenever divining rods are discussed, there are some people, even today, that say they do actually work -at least to find water. Several people still use divining rods today to attempt to find water. As illustrated here: The simple fact is that divining rods are not able to reliably find water or treasure. I watched a show on TV a few years back that offered a $1 million prize to anyone that could determine where water was using a divining rod. Several dowsers tried but all failed. The Amazing Randi, a magician and famed debunker of psychics and hoaxers, has a standing $1 million challenge to anyone that can prove paranormal activity, including use of a divining rod in a controlled environment. His challenge has yet to be claimed by anyone using a divining rod.
