I've shown a lot of people how to do it. it has worked for most of them. Never for a doubter.
one electrician I was working with had just buried a 4" conduit. I bent some nearby scrap wire and showed him how they worked, then handed them to him and said "Give it a bit of a go." As he walked over the pipe the wires swung together over the buried conduit and he jumped back with his hair standing on end.
He exclaimed.

I thought the devil had a hold of me!
He exclaimed.
The idea of dowsing has been around for a long time and has evolved into a lot of different methods.
Some swear by it, others swear at it.
Introduction from Wikipedia:
Dowsing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the divination method. For other uses, see Dowsing (disambiguation).
A dowser, from an 18th-century French book about superstitions
Dowsing is a type of divination employed in attempts to locate ground water, buried metals or ores, gemstones, oil, gravesites,[1] and many other objects and materials without the use of scientific apparatus. Dowsing is considered a pseudoscience, and there is no scientific evidence that it is any more effective than random chance.[2][3]
Dowsing is also known as divining (especially in reference to interpretation of results),[4] doodlebugging[5] (particularly in the United States, in searching for petroleum[6]) or (when searching specifically for water) water finding, water witching (in the United States) or water dowsing.
A Y- or L-shaped twig or rod, called a dowsing rod, divining rod (Latin: virgula divina or baculus divinatorius), a "vining rod" or witching rod is sometimes used during dowsing, although some dowsers use other equipment or no equipment at all.
Dowsing appears to have arisen in the context of Renaissance magic in Germany, and it remains popular among believers in Forteana or radiesthesia.[7]
The motion of dowsing rods is nowadays generally attributed to the ideomotor effect.[8][9]
