I made an interesting discovery recently. I placed a suction cup induction coil pickup (Radio Shack) on top of a package of small rare earth magnets (also from Radio Shack) and found the magnet package became a very sensitive contact microphone. I tested placing this combo on several objects around the house as a test. The most sensitive object was my old (all metal) Presto quartz heater. I set the combo on top of the heater and have recorded a few sessions and had good results. Loudest results were obtained using AM radio sweep in the background. The induction mic gets plugged into a pre-amp (Radio Shack, not shown). The contact mic is sensitive to vibrations and the heater has a natural reverb effect. Commercial contact microphones are used in surveillance and can be pricy, this version is very inexpensive to replicate. I will post a photo of the set-up.
