With a more heavy weight, this might not be achieveable I presume?

It is my understanding that you want a non-frequency non-electrical conductive material for your pendulum. Wood, ceramic, glass, would all be fine. One time I lost my pendulum and just used the wooden pull cord from the ceiling fan and it worked fine. You may get good results even if you use one of the materials that I have listed not to use. I am just going off of information that was arrived at by a team of pendulum dowsers as to which materials to make their pendulums from. The key is that you need to find a pendulum that is best for you. It is a good idea to have something on the end of the string that swings that has some density to it so that it has inertia and the string does not get slack in it. The plasitc mine is made from is some of that hobby plastic that you can shape and harden in the oven.
