 This spell enables the caster to enchant the branch of a ginkgo or fruit tree to lacate a common item that is hidden from view. Unlike Locate Objet, the caster does not need to have a specific mental image of a particular item; rather, he only needs to state the name of the genaral type of itemhe wishes to locate, such as buried treasure, edible plants, or fresh water. However, Divining Rod will not locate invisible or magical item, nor will it locate items protected by Obscure Item or a similar spell.
 Once the branch is enchanted, the caster holds the branch with both hands. If the desired item is within the range of the spell , the enchanted branch points in the direction of the item and gently pulls the caster along.
 The spell is not blocked by lead or any other substance. However, if an impenetrable obstacle is reached, such as the ground or a wall, the branch presses against it and stops. If there is no item matching the description within the spell range, the branch does not react, although the caster can move about and continue to search.
 The material component for this spell is the branch from a ginkgo tree or a fruit tree, such as peach, apple, or lemon. The branch must be shaped like the letter Y so that the caster can grasp a fork of the branch in each hand .
