Default Drilling Thru 12 Inch Block+Inner Wall

The wall is ceramic tile, drywall, foam, and then 12" concrete block (I can't detect any hollow). I have a 12" long masonry bit but the total wall is something like 18 inches!
Is there a way of detecting where the drill is located from the outside (after maxing the depth from the inside)?
I was wondering about studfinders that can detect live wires and metal studs or a non-contact voltage detector and connecting a live wire to the bit or rod...any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
