A detector/sensor/locator device for objects and materials of interest comprises a Faraday cage for containing or suspending a sample object or material of interest. The object or material of interest under principles of quantum theory emits electromagnetic radiation having a unique electromagnetic signature. The Faraday cage may have a cone-shape or interchangeable, cylindrical shape. The latter has a similar diameter to a barrel of the device so as to be interchangeable, preloaded with a material to be detected and connectable at the choice of a user for channeling emitted electromagnetic waves from the material upward to the barrel. The barrel of the device has mounted therein an L-shaped antenna element which may be free to rotate horizontally about the barrel or fixed in parallel with a second antenna element of similar length extending from a side of the barrel. The first and second antennae elements cooperate to detect, sense the presence of and locate a target object, the free-to-rotate antenna element capable of pointing in the direction of the target object or material. A magnetometer may be attached to an antenna element and monitored for electromagnetic field strength and/or an oscilloscope may be utilized to display signals taken from antennae coils associated with the barrel. Two magnets may be attached to the antenna elements to enhance the magnetic field. A very low frequency wave may be used to enhance (modulate) the electromagnetic wave radiation generated by the object or material of interest in comparison with a like received electromagnetic wave of unique signature of the object/material of interest. Stimulation by a function generator for the interchangeable, preloaded cylindrical housing may be provided for a frequency or frequency range of interest depending on the preloaded material.
