Don't waste your money on this article.  It is done using a coil 
salvaged from a transformer fed to an amplifier with lots of gain.  
Strictly AC, no DC response possible.   I consider the definition of 
"magnetometer"  requires DC response. Misleading advertising. As 
additional criticism, using a small coil salvaged from a transformer has 
very little window area (limiting the "effective antenna height" acting 
as another limit) if you intend to receive ELF.   Bah, humbug, $2 wasted.
