A wand of digging is very effective. You can zap it to dig open a corridor of several squares. Monsters that have one like to zap it downward and escape, which identifies it for you.

If the current dungeon level has an undiggable floor, zapping the wand downward will make a pit. If this happens on a level with an ordinary maze, it's time to look for the vibrating square. Monsters that try to dig downward through an undiggable floor will simply fail to dig.

Except on undiggable floors, you cannot make a pit with a wand of digging; it always makes a hole.
