I have a hand held wand-like device meant for finding nails etc in wood that
worked OK as long as the radials weren't too deep in the ground. It is
awkward for this kind of operation since it is only about 18 inches long. I
had a pretty good idea where the radials were to begin with and fortunately
the radials were laid down quite straight so I didn't have search out every
inch of each radial.

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
