dowses
Hunts underground springs
Dowses is the third-person singular form of dowse, which has two distinct meanings.
To dowse is to search for underground water or minerals using a forked stick or rod that supposedly dips when passing over the target: She dowses for wells on rural properties.
Separately, to dowse means to drench or extinguish with water, though douse is the more common spelling for this sense.
