The invention relates to a locator, in particular a handheld locator for detecting
inclusions in walls, ceilings and/or floors, having a capacitive sensor device
disposed in a housing, having means for generating a detection sensor of the at
least one capacitive sensor device, having a control and evaluation unit, communicating
with the sensor device, for ascertaining measurement values from the detection
sensor, and having an output unit for reproducing measurement values of the capacitive
sensor device.
According to the invention, it is proposed that a measuring capacitor (16)
of the capacitive sensor device (10) has a first electrode (21),
which includes one face of the housing (14) of the sensor device (10).
