Dowsing or divining is exactly the same thing as using an Ouija board. The piece of equipment is irrelevant. It's the intent that counts. It is witchcraft, that is why it is called divining or divination, and the same wicked spirit forces behind the Ouija are behind dowsing.
I agree it's probably the same kind of phenomenon as the Ouija board. What makes you think it's "wicked"?

"Vass, a 62-year-old wearing a blue CSI-Death Valley cap, is teaching his students witching, aka divining or dowsing. It’s a centuries-old practice in which a person walks a straight line holding two bent pieces of metal, or sometimes a Y-shaped twig, until they signal the presence of whatever is being sought underground. Water witches dowse for groundwater. Others use divining rods for seeking precious gems, oil, gold. Or, as in this case, human remains."

Because divination is forbidden by God:
"There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, anyone practicing magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer, anyone binding others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium or a fortune-teller, or anyone who inquires of the dead."-Deuteronomy 18:10-11.
It is in the purview of Satan and his wicked angels.

Not unlike CNN telling you to avoid fake news channels because it's bad for your cognitive dissonance.
But I'm a heathen so my opinion is worth even less than theirs.
