do I see police radar detectors? Very cool. My digging partner and I worked with a magnetometer, but found it very unreliable. The unit I had access to could have been damaged also so we couldn't figure out if it was us, a bad machine or just didnt work in the first place. We practiced in graveyards with it first and the readings were 50/50 and did not read as they were supposed to. I know some people have had luck with them and the machine we used found a very good privy in Sacramento before we had it. Always wanted to try actual GPS. You need a license to operate them in some states though. I suspect the hard part with home made will be designing the software...
