I do this all the time for well drilling. Not so much for finding water, but rather for avoiding and marking underground utilities.
Just take a couple of marking flags, rip the cheap flag part off. bend over 90 degrees (the flag, that is) about 5" from the end. Make sure to make both bends the same length.
make a fist with your thumb on top, then open slightly so that you could fit your finger in the opening in your fist. insert the short end into the opening in your hand. walk over the area with your elbows tucked in. rods (fists) should be no more than 12" apart.
I rub the rods together first, and hold them at a very slight downward angle so when they cross I know it's not a fluke. Some do this, some dont. It works for me.
cross back and forth over your suspected line, and mark at each cross of the rods. Good luck!
