actually, in my case on the first well experience, the pull was so strong you had to really grasp hard to keep the wires from pulling. believe me theo, i was thinking about it..changing pressures, angles. with practice b'ski i found that with well balanced rods you can lightly grasp the rods and maintain them in a parallel fashion. part of it is not focusing on the rods but focusing on the geometry of how you walk an area. when the rods swing, then you test the area by walking various traverses at right angles to each other, and hopefully narrow down the trend or spot.
that said, i claim no expertise at this though, and would never assume any responsibility if asked to conduct this ritual for finding someone else's potential well spot. on jobs where utilities could be an issue, i always hire out an independent locating service.
