Note: Devices comprising sticks or rods; used by people working above ground in an attempt to discover water, minerals, treasure, archaeological remains, graves, or other things below ground. Use of rods for these purposes has ancient origins; devices similar to those used today are first documented in 16th-century Europe. Traditionally Y-shaped twigs, often of hazel, rown, or willow which, when their two prongs are grasped, twist and dip in the hands of the dowser as he or she approaches the substances or objects sought for. Alternatively, the rods consist of two metal rods held parallel a few inches apart, that swing across each other when nearing the sought-after substance or objects. In controlled studies, the success rate of finding anything below ground by using these devices is no better than chance.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 人類於地面上探測地下水源、礦藏、寶藏、考古遺跡甚至屍體時所使用的儀器。傳統使用 Y 型榛木或柳樹樹枝，探測人員在進行探測時，會以雙手分別握住兩個分叉。有些探測杖則由二個相互平行相距幾吋的金屬棒所組成，在接近探測標的物時，兩個金屬棒會彼此交叉。 |
| Dutch ..... Hulpmiddelen die worden gebruikt door mensen die boven de grond zoeken naar water, mineralen, kostbaarheden, archeologische vondsten en zelfs lijken onder de grond. Traditioneel bestaat een wichelroede uit een Y-vormige twijg, vaak van de hazelaar, lijsterbes of wilg, die wanneer de beide vertakkingen in de hand worden gehouden door een wichelroedeloper, draait en omlaag wijst zodra de gezochte stoffen of voorwerpen naderbij komen. De roeden kunnen ook bestaan uit twee metalen staven die evenwijdig aan elkaar worden gehouden met een paar centimeter tussenruimte en die over elkaar draaien wanneer het gezochte nadert. |
| German ..... Vorrichtung, die oberirdisch von Personen verwendet wird, um Wasser, Mineralien, Schätze, archäologische Überreste und sogar Leichen unter Tage zu finden. Klassischerweise eine Y-förmige Rute, häufig aus dem Haselnussstrauch, der Vogelbeere oder Weide, die sich, wenn ihre zwei Gabeln gegriffen werden, in der Hand des Rutengängers dreht und senkt, wenn er oder sie sich der Substanz oder dem Gegenstand nähert, der gesucht wird. Alternativ besteht die Rute aus zwei Metallstäben, die parallel einige Zoll auseinander gehalten werden und übereinander schwingen, wenn sich der gesuchten Substanz oder dem Objekt genähert wird. |
