Topband: METAL DETECTOR

[john battin]

You can take an AM signal generator, feed the radial against ground, and use a little portable AM Broadcast radio along the ground to track the wire.  It will work even if the wires are quite deep.

> Has anyone had good success finding radials with a metal detector? They are advertised as being able to find copper and aluminum. W8JI described his method on of using a MFJ antenna analyzer connected through a transformer to the radial system and then using a small receiver with a loop to track the signal. That should work but I was interested in trying the metal detector idea if anyone has had any success. 73 Mike K4PI
