I use a telephone pickup plugged into a Radio Shack amplifier ( cheapo box
around about 2.5"x2.5"x 1" powered with a 9v battery) It works best if the
circuit is loaded with a high wattage appliance such as a space heater.

Turn the volume high, a loud 60Hz buzz is heard over the speaker when the
telephone pickup head is over the wires.

Is there relaible device that can track hot 110V wires inside

YES, they do make one. It finds/detects ONLY hot wires. It's mainly used
to check voltage at electrical boxes, outlets, and etc., but it will
detect through paneling and sheetrock.

It's called the Greenlee Voltage Detector, Cat. No. 1110 and can be
purchased at HD/Lowes in the electrical department.
