dowsers

I am looking for information on the water diviner Evelyn Penrose (1882-1971). She was described by proponents as the most successful water diviner. It is alleged that Penrose worked as a dowser for the British, Australian and Canadian governments. Kenneth Roberts in his book The Seventh Sense...
