As a keen gold prospector, natural and man made electrical effects can cause detecting to be almost impossible on some days because of the interference caused to the detector.
Usually this interference is associated with storm conditions but not always and there are also other issues such as human produced emf leakage.
I have posed a similar thread in prospecting forums as to whether there is some device that could measure the totality of these interfering effects so a decision could be made before embarking on a lengthy and expensive trip to the goldfields.
The best I have come up with is a lightning detector which can detect lightning up to 40ks away, but really that’s no better than one could establish by looking at BOM forecasts.
If the highly sensitive electronics of a gold detector can pick it up, I still feel there would be someway to build such a device.
Edit Maybe I should just buy another detector and mount it on the roof like a radio mast and wire the audio through my hi fi speakers.
