I have a stud finder that will find wires. I've never done a controlled
test under varying conditions, but it seems to be very reliable for what
I've used it for.

Zircon mid price range stud finder, not the most expensive, not the
chaepest ~$30?
Home Depot
It will find hot wires but I'm not totally sure of the reliablity.
I use it for studs but I see the AC voltage indicator light up at
appropriate locations.
cheers

You don't say whether you want to find just any (or all) hot wires
versus finding a hot wire for a particular circuit (or particular outlet
or fixture). In the first case, some cheap stud finders and inductive
hot wire detectors will usually work. I use a GB hot wire detector that
can be bought at HD or Lowes or OSH for around $15. They won't work
well if there is sheet metal in the wall (foil-backed insulation for
example). If you want to find particular hot wires, it's a whole
different proposition. You have use a signal injector/detector set.
The really good ones go for a few hundred $.

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.
