At the risk of over simplifying something I don't understand that well, dowsing (or witching) relys on being able to sense the powers that be in nature. It doesn't matter what is used for the rods, they just amplify the movement of your hands. Ive even seen it done with a plumb Bob. You just need to concentrate on what you are trying to find. It works best if you cross an area in one direction, then return from the opposite, as an indication may not be directly below you, but you can average to point from walking in opposite directions. I'm not very good at water, do half decent with pipes and wires, but I have excellent luck finding septic tanks???
I had a well drilled a number of years ago, had a friend dowse it for me. He flagged a spot, said there would be 20GPM at 85 ft. The plumbing inspector, the well driller, and others thought the well should be in a different spot. Got the driller set up there, started drilling, this was in bedrock after 4 feet. He started poking fun when at 75 ft, there was only 2 GPM. At 82 feet he hit a hard spot in the rock. 6 inches later he broke through into a cavity that would run 24GPM. So my friend wasn't quite on, but pretty darn close.

One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
