As a kid I remember TV shows such as Blue Peter having men (it was never women as I recall), walking about with
two bent wires - usually coat hangers on bits of wood, and known as Divining Rods - one in each hand, walking around fields searching for
water/oil/gold whatever.
Its called Dowsing or Water Divining and has been practised for centuries, and the modern version as described above was first recorded in 15th Century Germany (where it was used to attempt to detect metals), with either metal rods or the Y shaped bit of wood.
