Dowsing on the TMA always raises a long and controversial thread. Its a bit like the Marmite ads - you either love it or hate it! I propose a suck it and see approach for the more skeptical or cynical amongst us, or for the just plain curious:
Run up to your wardrobe, grab a pair of wire coat hangers and an old bog roll. Snip the hook off the coat hangers and trim off one of the curved corners until you're left with an 'L' shape. One length should be about 10" and the other about 5". Take your bog roll and slit it, and open it flat. Cut into two equal pieces, roll each one into a tube about as thick as your little finger, pop the short arm of the wire into the tube, so it rolls freely - but doesnt fall out! Secure the tube with tape. Get yourself out into the garden/yard/field wherever and hold each rod in the hand, firmly but not tightly and allow the rods to settle roughly perpendicular to the ground, parralel to each other. Wander about - where the rods cross make a note and come at it from other directions to triangulate. Thats all there is to it! Its actually more trouble to make the damn things than it is to use 'em! If you find it works - LMK!
