Can the coconut toss be done inside a house with a 10-foot roof?
No, do it in open ground. Thrown to a low height, the coconut naturally falls close by and shows nothing; it must go up at least 10 feet.

For the coconut toss test, should the coconut be water-filled or dry?
Take a water-filled coconut for the toss; the coconut thrown in the demonstration was water-filled. A dry coconut is used instead when dowsing for ground water.
How should the coconut be held for the toss?
Always with the pointed end upward, just as a person walks with the head up. A coconut has three eyes, a head and a tail, and it is the only fruit in which all five elements are perfectly present.

Some dowse for water with a coconut, some with a stone or guava wood; which is right?
Any of them, because the dowser is the person; the tool is only a bridge, a medium in which the current produces movement. Some people dowse with bare hands, and some sway or tremble where water is. Only a person whose body reacts to the energy can check it; people who live in a negative place get used to it, like a worm content in a drain.
When dowsing, is the bone or water located where you stand, where your hand is, or where the coconut lands?
It is located where the pendulum turns clockwise or anticlockwise, at the spot under the hand, about an arm's length of one and a half to two feet from the body. It is not where a jumping coconut finally falls, but where the movement began.
A bone was found on a plot meant for an industry. What must be done before building there?
Removing the bone is not enough; the land needs its rites, just as a house is purified after a death. Do a vastu registry with five coconuts (four corners and the bone spot), remove the affected soil, do agni sanskar with mango wood, ghee and camphor in 16 places and float the ash in flowing water, purify with water and mantra, sprinkle gomutra and plaster with cow dung, put lime and sulphur in the pit, keep a lamp burning there for 24 hours, and mix a little mercury into the soil and the four corners. If the shilanyas had already been done, it is broken and must be redone after purification.
