It doesn't really matter that much what a pendulum is made out of - it isn't the tool that makes the difference, it's the person using it.
Different people find that they have an affinity with particular materials and get a better response from them but they usually find this through
either practice or maybe they feel drawn to use a particular material, I don't think it really makes all that much difference though - a good dowser
should be able to dowse with pretty much anything.
The key isn't really what your pendulum is made out of, it's how much practice and experiment you put into it. There are plenty of dowsers who use
dowsing rods that they've fashioned in the classic, time-honoured manner, out of an old metal-wire coathanger - and they work just fine, I've used
them myself & they give a good response.
I've heard of plumbers looking for water pipes get an old plumbline out of their toolbox and use that.
Traditionally, when dowsing for answers to questions, folk would often take their wedding ring, tie it to a bit of cotton, and use that.
You could buy the most expensive pendulum in the world made out of the rarest material imaginable, but like as not, it won't improve your skill one
jot - that can only be done with practice. There is a percentage of people who don't seem to be able to dowse no matter what, I suppose it's kinda
like some people just can't be hypnotised, they just haven't got it, but most people have some level of ability - and it is really only practice
that can hone that skill.
