Straightened wire coathangers, with one end bent to form the handle, IIRC.

What we did was get some heavy gauge solid core copper wire. Typical solid core copper house wire also works. Strip off everything but the handles.

BTW: did you get any reaction using them?

I didn't conduct a proper double-blind test, but did try a few things.

As expected, when I knew that I was over a substance that the rods were supposed to react to, they did.

When I didn't know, they appeared to react randomly.

Dowsing has been tested by James Randi; one account is here. The same dowser ('edge' on this forum) has had discussions about an application for the MDC, but the talks broke down when he was unable to agree to a protocol.

Coincidentally, I just watched Randi's retelling of the edge test from TAM 5.5 (on the DVD I got at TAM 9) tonight. He added one or two additional details that don't shine too good a light on the applicant...
