Hi certainlymerry
Hmmm, have you tried using dowsing rods? You can use them for a yes/no like a pendulum, see if you get a better series of results that way.
I find with my pendulum that a knot tied in its chain at the end you hold, plus my thumb, forefinger and middle finger on the knot give me a better result than just trying to hold the end big link of the chain between my thumb and forefinger.
Alternatively, have you tried deviceless dowsing? If you can get reliable results, it's a great thing to do because no-one can see you, you can do it with your hand in your pocket if you need to be ultra-discreet.
It's based on kinesiology responses. Rub your thumb and tip of your forefinger together to see how it feels.
Ask to be shown a yes response and leave it a minute and ask to be shown a no response. For one of them, your finger and thumb should slide easily and for the other, your thumb and forefinger will experience more friction or feel sticky.
There are more kinesiology yes/no guides here

Experiment until you find a technique that works for you, we're all different. Good Luck with it!
Really pleased you liked the link to the Megalithic Portal, it's a great resource. That house with the stone circle behind it sounds just like the sort of house I'd love.
Alternatively, you can create your own sacred space in any garden or house
