Is this energy field or rod performance affected in any way with rods that are straight at the end, have a curve or bend at the end, a bead or ball, or a witness chamber?

The tip of the rod does have an effect. I hace a rod with a hammerhead tip on it and there is a large "beam" out the tip. It reminds me of teeth on a hair comb, with rows of light and dark areas. A thin wire tip has a very tiny beam.

So is there an absolute better tip to have on a rod, and can what you are looking for matter as to what tip you use?

There are many different configurations. ------ That leads me to believe there is a psychological component, too.

Funny you mentioned the "psychological component" Mike. I built a new set of copper enclosed handles from Arts instructions last week. I made my rods out of solid brass. Very nice. I even shined them up and they look like they came straight from the dowsing factory. I curved the tips in a small circle to come back and touch itself. My hands don't touch the rods themselves, only the handles. Therefore, I can't directly move the rods with muscle reactions or reflex like can be done without handles. Using handles, I was concerned about my hands not being in direct contact with the rods. That concern was because I'm a physical dowser. I've always thought my hands have to be in direct contact with the rods. That human/tool connection. I went to the local hunted out school playground Friday evening and in just a few minutes located 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 3 pennies all together. Obviously a shallow kids pocket spill. I then located several more pennies. I'd get very close to the coins then use my detector to pinpoint them. I don't have an exact pinpoint area down yet for the rods. So until then I'll take a little help from the detector. Point is, since I can't move the rods with muscle reflex when using the handles, and since the circled tips did well on the first park hunt, I immediately began thinking that I like the circle tips better than the stright tips I've always used on my rods. Did the larger tip, being circled instead of straight, have something to do with the rods reacting so well? That's something I'll have to figure out in time. But I no longer have those doubts about using handles, and I now know a circle rod tip will work for me. The "psychological component" in my situation may be a "confidence" builder.
