For the sake of argument, I'll grant your point: dowsing works.

I wasn't being sarcastic. A bit humorous perhaps, but not sarcastic. I know it doesn't work. It is superstitious nonsense that glaringly reveals the gullibility of some people.

My bad; sorry to have misinterpreted your post. My opinion is that 99.9% of the time it's simple fraud (which includes people that have fooled themselves into believing they have this ability). But, as a Christian, there is a real spiritual world that does--at times--interact with the physical world.

If you search (on google or Amazon) dowsing, it is striking how much of the material has a new-age, spiritual aspect to it.

"Dowsing tools, tips, books, resources, classes. Large selection of quality pendulums and divining rods for the discriminating dowser and energy healer." -- divingmind.com

"Dowsers.com is dedicated to helping you to grow spiritually and heal through dowsing, the teachings of Walter Russell, and Celtic Sea Salt." -- dowsers.com

"This is the best site for products and information on Dowsing and Pyramid Power!! " - dowsing.com

The American Society of Dowsers (dowsers.org) is an virtual Pandora's box of new-age mumbo-jumbo. Just a quick sampling of items they sell on their website:

And, all this was in the 1st page of results of a google search of the word "dowsing."

Whatever dowsing actually is, it's obvious that there is a strong enough spiritual dimension to it that it leads people away from the truth (the Bible) and towards spiritual error.
