I have one somewhere.  It was given to me by a friend who lost interest in ferreting.  Unfortunatly by then he had also lost the collar . 

If l remember correctly the signal from the collar was  picked -up when it was about seven  feet from the box. The signal strength was fixed and you gauged the ferret's depth by how far from the ground the box was. 

      So if you picked-up a signal with the box held five feet  from the ground; the ferret was two feet down.

If you held the box as high as you could above your head and still got a signal ; the ferret was crawling up your trouser-leg
