For those with a magnetometer , where is it located ? I understand it needs to be as far as possible from servos and high current equipments I have an S-tec pitch servo in the tail cone and strobes (classic and not LED type) at the wingtips ? Left wing has a servo for the century IIB and the pitot tube ( high current when heated I suspect) Thoughts ?

My cousin's Mooney M20D went down near Revekstoke BC, Canada, on November 25, 2017. The military has stopped the search and the family is left to do everything we can to bring my cousin (the pilot) and his girlfriend home. We are hearing mixed stories about whether or not a magnetometer may help locate the aircraft. I have read that the Mooney did have steel components. I am looking for opinions regarding the viability of this search option. We have a couple of high probability search areas that we are interested in using this equipment on, if we can get confirmation that search efforts as such are worth while. Rotary and fixed wing, visual searches, haven't been helpful. The high probability areas have been defined using cell phone pings, foreflight information, and last known radar position. Thanks in advance for your insight.
