Here's a handy thing for any treasure hunters: Locator rods (AKA dowsing rods). Merely aim and activate them in a direction, and they'll detect a given thing up to 200 blocks away in a line, regardless of obstruction (even modded things!). Be warned: If you locate something but fail to reach it in time, you'll be in for a rude shock!

For future consideration:
- Do I want rod types for different tiers of things?
- What would be a good way to combine rod types without redundancy or functionality collision?
- Would a 'Dowsing Radar' accessory (AKA omni-directional dowsing, albeit imprecise) be worthwhile?
- Is there a good way for Witching and Divining rods to be set to locate specific things (as opposed to generally 'rare' things) the player can't have discovered yet?
- How much demand is there for a rod type for locating specific fish?
