Geo, please can you put some ca. 30 to 40cm light plastic bag outside somewhere in the grass (without specially charging it before by rubbing somewhere!) and test from what distance you can detect it?
Because first we have to find out if the electrostatic is useable as LRL at all and how sensitive our detector has to be. Perhaps we also have to use much larger or better antennas!

Funfinder,
You are going thru what I researched many years ago. The thing to have the detector "look" for are ions. Ions have a specific electromagnetic radiation pattern when they discharge. If the LRL circuitry is set up to look for that pattern then you will have something.
Electrostatic by itself is a waste of time.
I stated this in a previous note herein.
