Summary:A system and related methods for locating an electrical box through a covering material. The system utilizes a magnetized seeker disk in combination with a magnetized mounting disk that is mounted within an opening on an electrical box. The mounting disk attaches to the electrical box by being wedged into and displacing/deflect a perimeter wall of the electrical box. The electrical box is then covered by sheetrock or any other wall or ceiling covering. The seeker disk is placed on top of the covering near where the electrical box is thought to be located. By operation of the embedded magnets, the seeker disk signals the precise location of the electrical box by interacting with the previously mounted insert disk.
