Aymar-Vernay dowsing with a divining rod. Jacques Aymar-Vernay (born in 1662) was a stonemason from the village of Saint Marcellin in Dauphiné, France, who reintroduced dowsing with a divining rod into popular usage in Europe. He claimed to have discovered springs and treasures hiding in the earth using his rod, and even tracked down criminals using it. According to some accounts, when he neared the scene of a murder using a divining rod, he would break into a sweat, shudder and, in some instances, even faint.

He was challenged by Dortmund and then Divining Rod, but American Pharoah broke from the pack in the homestretch and won by seven lengths, as Tale of Verve made a strong rally to overtake Divining Rod to place.

That is, a stressed syllable in Tokyo dialect, as in kai 'shell' or san 'divining rod', will always have the pattern , never .Although in other words with the moraic pattern of kai and san the second mora may have a high tone and the first a low tone, this is just the rise in pitch, in an unaccented word or before a downstep, spread across the syllable, and does not depend on whether that syllable consists of one mora or two. Unaccented ha 'leaf', for example, has a rising tone in Tokyo dialect, whereas accented ne 'root' has a falling tone; likewise unaccented kai 'buying' and san 'three' have a rising tone, wherease accented kai 'shell' and san 'divining rod' can only have a falling tone. In Osaka, however, either pattern may occur: tombi 'black kite' is in Tokyo but in Osaka.

On 14 January 1802, the day that Wood said would be the commencement of the Apocalypse, as the sect gathered together to await the arrival of the "destroying angel", the locals were so alarmed that on the night in question the militia was called out.

Wilweorthunga is the Old English practice of fountain or well worship. This belief was banned in the 16th Canon Law enacted under King Edgar of England (939–946) in the tenth century. Alternatively, in the translation by Jim Duyer, the word is thil-theorfunga, broken into three parts: thil= orator or chant, theorf = fresh water = and funga or funda = to find, discover. In other words, one who finds water sources, much as the early Americans did with a divining rod, and this word is certainly not tied to any theme of worship.

The first field tests were conducted near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1921. Early reflection seismology was viewed with skepticism by many in the oil industry. An early advocate of the method commented: :"As one who personally tried to introduce the method into general consulting practice, the senior writer can definitely recall many times when reflections were not even considered on a par with the divining rod, for at least that device had a background of tradition." The Geological Engineering Company folded due to a drop in the price of oil.

California was carved by Powers in the form of young woman. She holds a divining rod (a tool purportedly able to detect gold deposits) in her left hand, crossed in front of her body, while her right hand holds a branch covered with thorns. These two symbols represent both the outward opportunity and hidden dangers of pursuing the alluring lands of California. To the figure's back-right stands a column of quartz; as gold was often found among quartz deposits, the mineral's depiction represents the mineral wealth of California, both the state and the sculpture.

Another "remote substance detector" device, the Global Technical GT200, has come under scrutiny in Thailand in the wake of the controversy over the ADE 651. The Bangkok Post reports that the GT200 is virtually identical to the ADE 651 and has been described by critics as a "divining rod" which uses "controller cards", like the ADE 651, to find explosives. The Post attributes the death of several Royal Thai Police officers to its repeated failures to detect explosives. The Quadro Tracker, also known as the Positive Molecular Locator, was a similar device sold by Quadro Corp.

32, an amusing account is given of an attempt made in 1634 by Ramsay and others to discover hidden treasure in Westminster Abbey by means of the divining rod, when the operations were interrupted by fierce blasts of wind, attributed by the terrified spectators to demons, who were, however, promptly exorcised. Sir Edward Coke, writing to Secretary Windebanke, on 9 May 1639, about a demand for money which it was inconvenient to meet, says: ‘If, now, David Ramsay can co-operate with his philosopher's stone, he would do a good service.’ There are also entries in the ‘Calendars of State Papers,’ dated 28 July 1628 and 13 Aug.

Asked to keep his eyes closed, he sneaks a peek. In the belief that having an albino with him in his quest for treasure will bring him great fortune, Ty Ty transports and wrongfully imprisons Dave Dawson (Michael Landon), a man with white hair and pink eyes, demanding that he help him locate the buried treasure. Dawson, using a divining rod, claims the gold lies on the neighboring church's land (referred to as "God's Little Acre"). Ty Ty pulls the marker out of the ground, explaining that God told him to move it, thereby absolving him from giving any gold found in this new spot to the church.

After this the shares were sold to Tou Brewery in Stavanger. Since then CB has had several owners: a group of investors called Sørlandvekst, the Swedish brewery Spendrups, and since 1999 Hansa Borg Bryggerier AS. All CB products are brewed with Artesian water from the source of Christian IV. Allegedly this source was found in 1932, in an extraordinarily dry summer, when the company's plumber used a divining rod. On 32 meters' depth he found crystal-clear and 100% pure water, which holds a stable temperature of 9–10 degrees Celsius, both in summer and in winter. The beer has a fan-club, called "CB-ølets venner" (friends of the CB beer), with more than 10,000 life-term members.

An epigram by Samuel Sheppard, from Epigrams theological, philosophical, and romantick (1651) runs thus: :Virgula divina. :"Some Sorcerers do boast they have a Rod, :Gather'd with Vowes and Sacrifice, :And (borne about) will strangely nod :To hidden Treasure where it lies; :Mankind is (sure) that Rod divine, :For to the Wealthiest (ever) they incline." Early attempts at an explanation of dowsing were based on the notion that the divining rod was physically affected by emanations from substances of interest. The following explanation is from William Pryce's 1778 Mineralogia Cornubiensis: A study towards the end of the nineteenth century concluded that the phenomenon was attributed to cryptesthesia, whereby the practitioner made unconscious observations of the terrain and involuntarily influenced the movement of the rod.

Enik (Walker Edmiston) introduced in the episode "The Stranger", is one of the original Altrusian inhabitants from before their civilization fell, though he initially believes himself to be trapped in the Altrusians' pre-civilized period. However, he too fell through a time doorway to become trapped in the current era of the Land of the Lost and discovered that the current Sleestak are actually his descendants and not his ancestors. He introduced himself as being one of the "keepers of the time portals" although it is unclear if he is referring to a select number of Altrusians tasked with that responsibility or his entire race. As such, he is equipped with a piece of Altrusian technology called a Magetti, a large crystal suspended in a tetrahedral frame that Enik describes as a "divining rod" that can be used to locate and fix dimensional doorways, determining where and when they would open.

The Tanners have also highlighted changes such as the title page of the 1830 edition of the Book of Mormon that described Smith as "Author and Proprietor" of the book, which was revised in subsequent editions to be "Translator", and the description of Oliver Cowdery's skill at using the divining rod found in the 1829 edition of the Book of Commandments, which does not appear in the corresponding section of the 1835 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants. FARMS responds to the "author and proprietor" charge by arguing this title conformed to the governing copyright laws in 1830. The Ostlings consider other omissions to be distortion, noting that the widely distributed church manual Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young omits any mention of Young's polygamy, and that the book's chronological summary of Young's life includes the date of his first marriage, the date of the first wife's death, and the date of the second legal marriage, but omits mention of Young's dozens of other marriages. In 1842, Willard Richards compiled a number of records in order to produce a history of the church.
