Richard Wetherill's Cattle Brander

Origin
Richard Wetherill (1858 – 1910), a member of a prominent Colorado ranching family, was an amateur explorer in the discovery, research and excavation of sites associated with the Ancient Pueblo People. He is credited with the discovery of Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde and was responsible for initially selecting the term Anasazi, Navajo for ancient enemies, as the name for these ancient people.

Effects
Imbued with the power to discover large buried structures, acting like a divining rod pointing and heating up when close to the underground structures.
