Hi Mike(Mont),
Actually, you did mention some sort of device you can wear and walk around with. And you also mentioned a parabolic or funnel shape. Here is what you originally said concerning magnets, transmitters and wearing things:

Nobody is talking about wearing magnets on your head. What you see on the tin man's head is a metal funnel. This is, of course corresponds to the parabolic funnel shaped device you mentioned that could be worn. (I naturally ruled out wearing a rifle barrel on your head, because it just doesn't fit as well as a funnel).
The original funnel worn by the tin man was galvanized steel. The modern version is an aluminum funnel. Neither of these are magnetic, but the older steel version could concentrate vertical magnetic lines of flux that may be suspected to cause magnetic brain tumors in the cerebellum of the tin man. (Take note: In the story of the original tin man, his scarecrow buddy did not have a cerebellum, or any part of a brain. In fact this is what he was searching for). But for a modern LRL treasure hunter, I would suspect you should use the older plated steel funnel on your head unless you are sure you also don't have a cerebellum. The more modern aluminum version should work nicely as a Faraday shield, but will do little to protect you from the dreaded hazards of wrong-polarity magnetic brain tumors.
The magnet is not worn on the body. Actually, in the configuration shown, there is one magnet with the poles set vertically in the pendulum, and several others, including a large vertically polarized rare earth magnet at the base of the VLF transmitting antenna high atop the water tower. The other four rare earth magnets are placed in the four corners of the area where you are searching. Since it is not practical to put a magnetic cage over a large area of land, we can simply drive a tall steel pipe in the ground at each of the four magnets. This will tend to concentrate the magnetic flux in the four corners of the search area to form a 4-pole matrix canopy over the area you are searching, without stopping the magnetically altered VLF signal coming from high atop the water tower.
I think you can see the relative improvement of this blend of modern and antique methods, which leaves you completely free from the risk of wrong-polarity magnetic brain tumors.
Best wishes,
