the authority asked:
Is there a instrument that can be used to locate an energized wire buried in a wall? I don’t think the electrical box is present.

yeah that’s great that ideal offers this item, it starts out at $500 and goes up to $1000, call a contractor with that tester for $75-$100 to come out to trace it out for you.
or you could just go and buy a 5gal bucket of spackle, some tape, a knife, and a keyhole saw for under $40.

Call Dale Looney at 228-586-KILN. He has the tool you need but it’s at the pawn shop. I’m sure he’d be glad to redeem it or buy a new one if you cash a check for him.
