Homemade EMF meter keeps shorting out in basements?

Anyone else have trouble with DIY EMFs dying the second you go below ground level? Mine works fine in houses, motels, barns — but the moment I head into a cellar it fizzles like a wet firecracker.

Not talking overload, either. Battery’s fine, solder’s clean. It just… quits.

Starting to think something down there doesn’t want to be detected.

Anyone got basement-proof builds?

A short on an emf meter should peg high. That is not what you have happining.
