Thanks for the link Darren. We utilize various EMF meters, and I have found that the $20.00 (USD) GaussMaster is just as effective for ghost research as the Tri-Field. Of course, the Tri-Field is going to have more features than the Dr. Gauss, but how many of them are actually of any use?
Another great thing about the GaussMaster is its audible field indicator. Really helpful in the dark!

Darren do you know of a place in Australia that supplies emf meters?

Are you after any specific model or within a certain price range?

as far as equipment goes ,I am a beginner,Ive used myself as a monitor but would like to start using Emf Meters etc... any ideas for a beginner would be appreciated.. Just the basic thing so I can work my way up from there, was looking at the site posted above, can the products be used in Australia?

Hi there Josie,
I recently purchased a 'GaussMaster' EMF meter from eBay. I believe it cost me the princely sum of $63 including postage. I haven't had a chance to use it in an investigation, but I reckon it's a pretty good tool in identifying EMF fields in and around the house and outside. It measures 0-10 or 0-1 milligauss (depending on whether you hold down the button on the side or not). The only problem with it is that you cannot turn off the noise (the pitch gets higher the greater the EMF). Apart from that it's really quite good.

That looks good! How much would you expect to pay for one?

Around AU$150 - $200 from memory ... follow a few of the links in the article it will give you a better idea.

Really helpful in the dark! What is that, a headphone amp out. Its really important that we find out what it sounds like and at what frequency, frequencies, direction, etc. when a paranormal really occurs. Then we can make meters that can be really ghost hunters. The models out there are mostly for interference, and are CRUDE. When we know what to look for, then we can build equipment that's multitudes better. |

Remember that many of the meters that are available (especially lower cost ones) are single axis and designed for AC field work. Each manufacturer may incorporate a range of features ... LED lights like the K-II, sound output like the Esmog etc... etc... These can certainly help locate EMF sources within their range pretty quickly. As price increases we bump into tri-axis meters and greater/different frequency ranges. Many now believe that DC fields are where we should concentrate our efforts. A popular meter here is the Trifield Natural - but that also has it's limitations being single axis and indicating changes in fields rather than the actual measurement of the field. Where the more useful (and more expensive) units excel is identifying such things as frequency, direction and strength. This is where spectrum analysis is called for - units like those at www.spectran.com/Handheld_Spectrum_Analyzer.htm. There are inroads being made into this area specific for paranormal research such as MADS. Of course we are all limited to what we can afford, so for awhile flashing LEDs or listening to sounds may be all we can do. Hopefully in time demand will see lower cost units which can accurately identify specific frequencies for anomalies so we can all hone in on a large scale! |

I was suggesting using the compass, so small, cheap, and informative of static fields. They are best used sitting on a table, but we have the fluxgate compass that you can hold easily. I'm waiting for them to be used on TV. I don't go ghost hunting therefore I cannot correlate readings saying "we have EMF" which is like saying "well its today."
Rotational fields and stationary axis fields detection could be very promising on getting the proper information. Does every ghost hunter
know rotating the EMF coil or Hall detector will give different readings ?

Just an update for iPhone users - it may be worth looking at some of the apps which make use of the iPhone's sensors to provide a 3 axis EMF meter. There's a few around - some aren't that good but others seem fine and offer data logging etc... See the seperate thread on iPhones. |

with the gauss master it should be pretty easy to put a volume control on it by adding a potentiometer in the middle of one of the speaker wires inside the case. you can get potentiometers in the states really cheap at radioshack. i have a Stanley studfinder with a built in A/C sensor that i use in investigations that i did this mod on

Hye, i was just wondering, i had this natural trifield meter too but it seems that its not sensitive enough. May i know what setting you used or mode you use for ghost research ? Mine seems to be less sensitive. I was told that this item can even detect people human from a long distance. Mine doesn't seem to. I wonder why. Some people move their hand in front of the meter, it spikes, but mine doesn't when i set in in sum mode and even electric mode. Even if it spike, its very minor unlike the videos in youtube when they bring their hand waving close to this device. Hope to hear from you soon.

I have been very happy with my k- ll meter. It's basic but functional and tells me what I need to know. I guess there is a lot down to personal preference.
