How can I get a dowsing rod?
I' ve watched a TV programme about crop circle and stonehenge. The researcher mentioned a kind of an amazing tool called dowsing rod. I want to get more details, and I have no idea how to get one.

You can make a dowsing rod yourself from a coathanger. It's not hard. Look from instructions online.

OK, since you can't find the info, I'll try to explain how we made them when I was a kid:
Take two pieces of thick wire at least 30 cm in length (coathangers work well for this).
Bend both wires into an "L" shape.
Hold both wires by the bottom of the "L" loosely enough that they can swing freely.
Place your elbows at your sides and point both fists straight forward.
Walk around slowly.
If the wires move sharply toward each other, the spot below the rods may have an underground water flow.
Addendum:
I grew up in a farming community, and, there, dowsing (using dowsing rods to find water) is commonly called "well witching". People who can do it with a high degree of success are called "well witches". The commonly held belief is that dowsing relies upon the electomagnetic field of peoples' bodies, and, in some people, the electromagnetic charge is much stronger. Since this seems very similar to the underlying theory behind acupuncture and other traditional Eastern medical practices, I'm sure that Chinese farmers know about dowsing/ well witching as well, but they probably call it something else. Ask someone who knows about traditional Chinese folk practices if the concept of dowsing sounds familiar in any way.

Dowsing is a type of divination employed in attempts to locate ground water, buried metals or ores, gemstones, oil, gravesites,[1] and many other objects and materials, as well as so-called currents of earth radiation (Ley lines), without the use of scientific apparatus. Dowsing is also known as divining (especially in reference to interpretation of results),[2] doodlebugging (in the US), or (when searching specifically for water) water finding or water witching.
