These are great for doing initial EMF surveys, if you know how to use them and understand what you are measuring. Read the instructions. I am sick of watching groups waving meters around and getting wild readings when the piece of equipment they have is supposed to be left in one place to calibrate to the field it is in. Wave it around through several fields and yes you will get exciting noises but nothing else useful. Do not watch television programmes to see how to use equipment, unless you want a good laugh.

Remember there are man made electromagnetic fields such as found around wiring etc and natural fields such as those given off by rocks and fault lines etc. Make sure you know what your meter is reading.

I do not know of any hand held units (and my group do use a few) good enough to do proper research into EMF's at hauntings. My colleague developed the MADS system and we have been using it now for a feild for a few years. The experiments have resulted in some scientific papers being published.

There is always the possibility of a stray cell phone call causing false positives during your investigations, be aware that any equipment utilizing electromagnetic energy can cause falls readings. I personally use both a Tri-Field meter (can be tuned to certain frequency ranges). and another less accurate EMF such as the K-2 for validation.
