Clete,
Would that work using the shield of the coax and the center conductor rather
than the return wire?
Thanks for the post.
73,

You're right, he may get some good answers.
Here's one I sent to him a few minutes ago.

You can use a 12 volt car battery and a 12 volt bulb that will run a couple
of amps. Put the battery and a series bulb on the shield of the coax, at
the far end run a wire on the ground back from the shield to the battery.
That should light the bulb.
Get a small magnetic compass, Boy Scout type, or an auto compass, and move
the compass along the ground at right angles to where you think the coax is.
You may want to use a bigger bulb.
