  Not yet...but I will keep looking and let you know. So far the only "useful" reading I have gotten since I purchased my meters was to find what appeared to be a column of energy one floor directly below where a recorder kept picking up unusual sounds in addition to the run-of-the-mill EVP and a K2 meter that would only spike when placed closed to some trigger objects during an EVP session. I considered neither to be noteworthy enough to include in my findings.
  
  My last outing the equipment proved useless due to what appeared to be an unusual amount of RF interference.
  
  Note that that night I did not own my Trifield (which is supposed to be shielded from RF unless you set it to measure that particular range) yet, so I could not reliably measure what was going on.
  
  In other words, I disregarded all of the EMF data that night because I had reason to believe it was being affected by man-made causes. So having the tools does not always mean abusing the tools.

  By "run of the mill EVP" are you are referring to it being that of a marginal quality?
  
  As I understand it, the Trifield is designed to measure high instances or hot spots of electrical, magnetic and radio-microwave transmissions...if you prescribe to the unverified hypothesis that by prolonged exposure to any of these radiant fields one may become afflicted with physiological or psychological melodies that may manifest itself in many ways including cancer and of course the false perception of a "paranormal" experience...in this respect it (may) be useful as a "debunking tool"...
  
  Conversely, when viewed unilaterally as a "ghost detector" as it often is by the ubiquitous new "paranormal teams" we see multiplying exponentially on a daily basis, the reliability and culpability of these gadgets become more and more suspect...
  
  Perhaps in some respects this is where "certifications" may actually be advantageous depending on those offering the classes and the reality of assigning accreditation to any such institutionalized paranormal study, but this continues to be a subject of much controversy ...
  
  I still feel that most of these devices shall inevitably prove to be an more of an impedance to progressive investigative endeavors than anything else, but I suppose I will have to concede that those that are judiciously testing them in the field (as you evidently are) will be the ones that will ultimately answer these questions when simple speculation fails.
