Here in The South, those of us who can dowse are called "water witches".
When I was teaching at the local HS, I was returning from a mtg off campus one morning. The maintenance men were standing in the lawn in front of the school. As I walked by, one of them hollered at me if I was a "water witch", they were surprised when I admitted that I was. They gave me rods & I pinpointed the leaking pipe in the ground. I think they are still amazed I could locate the exact leak spot so quickly.
