Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for detecting obscured features and obscured electrical wires behind a surface, the apparatus comprising:
an obscured feature sensing element to sense an obscured feature;
obscured feature sensing circuitry operatively coupled to the obscured feature sensing element, the obscured feature sensing circuitry configured to measure a sensor reading on the obscured feature sensing element;
an obscured feature indicator to display to a user that an obscured feature has been detected behind a surface, based on the sensor reading;
a live wire sensing element to detect an obscured live electrical wire;
electrical wire sensing circuitry operatively coupled to the live wire sensing element, the electrical wire sensing circuitry to receive signals originating from the live wire sensing element;
a live wire indicator to display to the user a variable electrical field strength of a detected live electrical wire, based on the signals originating from the live wire sensing element; and
an auto-corrector to adjust the display range of the live wire indicator in the event that a new reading is beyond the display range of the live wire indicator,
wherein the obscured feature indicator and the live wire indicator are concurrently displayed to the user.
