You might remember the vintage looking 9 volt battery box. This Electromagnetic Field Detector is another old new device by Hacked Gadgets Forum member JingleJoe. Have a look at the forum thread for lots more pictures and some more videos. If you want to purchase it you are in luck, it was just posted on eBay!
"The wood started new, but I gave it my patented aging process and now you can see for yourself that it looks 100 years old! The meter is a genuinely old one, rewired to show the fields detected. The device runs on 9 volts of raw, untamed electricity from a battery compartment in the side, I built the inner circuitry from parts I scaveneged from old circuit boards, it works a charm! I made sure to use solid brass nails and brass screws in construction of the case. The main electromagnetic detector is made from a pan handle, it is connected to the main device by fabric-flex (made form a shoelace ) "
