1. A locator for determining the location and/or orientation of a concealed conductor, comprising:

  • a reference field detector operable to detect an alternating magnetic field along a reference axis;

    a first field detector operable to detect an alternating magnetic field along a first axis; and

    a processor operable to calculate an in-phase component of a signal detected by the first field detector, the in-phase component being in phase with a signal detected at the reference field detector, and to calculate a signal indicative of a position and/or orientation of the concealed conductor relative to the locator using at least the in-phase component.
