I don't have it but it's easy enough to do.

Just build a 555 transmiter going into a coil as a load.

Use a AM radio as the detector.

I built one just for that and you can follow pipes and wire quite deep.

Excellent homefire.
Do you have a schematic to share?
Thanks a lot

Do you think this trasmitter will be fine for my experiment?
