But if the antenna is the remote electrode in your voltage measuring circuit, then is it making connections through the air, back to the other measuring point?

If so, then calling this a voltage measurement is probably a misnomer, in the strictest sense of the accepted definition of the word voltage. I'm not sure exactly what to call it, but it does not seem to fit the definition of voltage very well.

Do you imagine this phenomenon to be around the buried metal as some type of field; and would it be strictly electrical in nature, or does it have an electrochemical component?

Also, have you verified the existence of this phenomenon with ordinary conventional instrumentation, and if so; how did you measure it?
