Well, further to my earlier post, the rods were not used to find water. They were used to find pipelines, conduits etc, some empty, some for petroleum, some for water some for wire. It seems they worked for finding linear structures. Still think there's a scientific explanation for it. Prob something to do with gravitational anomalies. I don't have any special abilities and am skeptical of such.
