Can I make a machine that detects a transformer from arcoss the street ?

I would like to make a senor, for fun, such that if I point it at the electrical grid wires, on poles, 20ft in the air,, I will get a very strong signal, such that I know the senor is pointing right at the wire's.

It would be really cool to stand outside and point a probe at the overhead wires, and have lights and beeping go off. Girls love that stuff

Yansi:
In civilized hitech countries like central EU (not sure who else has such low hanging HV/EHV lines - that is just stupid), this is hardly possible, due to HV and EHV power lines being purposely way higher above the ground NOT to have any such EM fields below.

Seems like an XY problem :P

Easy.  Get a camera and train a categorizing neural network to identify wires, insulators, transformers, etc.  All the usual distribution and switching gear.

Or memorize them yourself.  Girls like good memories too, don't they?...
