ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

British Society of Dowsers

So, you know how sometimes people use special tools to find things? Like if you lose a toy under the couch, you might use a flashlight to help you see where it is.

Well, some grown-up people use a special tool called a dowser to try to find things like water and minerals in the ground. They believe that this tool can help them detect where these things are hiding.

The British Society of Dowsers is a group of these grown-up people who are interested in using dowsing to find these things. They get together to talk about their experiences and learn new things about dowsing.

Some people think that dowsing is just a superstition and that the tool doesn't actually work to find things. But others believe in it strongly and think it can be really helpful in certain situations.

So, the British Society of Dowsers is a group for grown-ups who like to use a special tool to find water and minerals in the ground, even though some people don't think it actually works.
