Divining Magic in the Home

Want a secret to finding anything in your house that you've lost?  I used this when I was looking for a part of a table I needed to make a repair.  I had been looking for it for hours.  Stand in a central location of your home.  Hold your hands over your head and spin around until you lose your sense of what direction everything is in.  Stop and stick your arms out in front of you.  Walk in the direction your arms are pointing.  I found the item in a closet that I had already checked with a flashlight!  This might not work for everybody, but it can't hurt either.
