Yowser, dowser! This kind finds water!!!

While most scientists say there is no proof that dowsing works, millions of people trust a dowser to find ground water, gems and other elements underground.

NORTH BERWICK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) — Glen Johnson has a twinkle in his eye.

The 84-year-old dowser knows that a lot of people, including scientists, don't believe dowsing works. However, he notes many times when his sweet science saved people thousands of dollars as they dug wells.

"I don't care what science says," said Johnson. "I know it works."

Johnson dowses with L-shaped rods, but also has Y-shaped instruments. He speaks to the rods as he patrols an area where someone might be looking for water. By asking a series of questions, he is able to hone in on where the vein of water might be running.

His business card describes him, humorously, as "Consultant To The Universe..." It is clear that he loves his hobby of finding water, moving water veins and even locating lost objects.

He can be reached by email in North Berwick at gwjdowser@hotmail.com
