I don't bother with tubes; I just hold them loosely in the hands. If you can't manage well enough then try Bic biros with the insides ripped out.

I think your explanation of the position of the rods was a little misleading, you said they should be held perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. It depends which part of the L-shape you are refering to. The part that's held in the hands needs to be perpendicular to the ground, but the part pointing out in front should be parallel to the ground. I mention that just in case some would-be dowser should think that his rods need to point vertically downwards.

Sorry about the slightly misleading description - I wrote it on a mad urge just before I skipped off home - should have engaged the brain properly before taking the brake off the hands - I assumed that most people would have seen the atypical dowsing stance at some point and be able to get the general idea.

again - probably the hardest part is getting the courage to wander about like an extra from Dr Who with two bits of wire and look as if you know what youre doing. Gives my wife and in-laws no end of fun when I do it! But its worth it!
