Cable locating with signal generator and AM radio

Sometimes there is a need to locate a cable in buildings or in ground. It could be because there are many cables running in paralell without marking or that you dont know if a cable is going at all to a location you “think” it is going to. It may also be buried cables that you dont know where to dig for. In this video I show how you can use a signal generator, an AM receiver of the cheap generic type and a counter weight radial to inject a 650 KHz on a cable and later locate it.
