Shoutout to the Klein NCVT-3 for saving me from a live wire mix-up

I was replacing a light fixture in a 1950s house in Springfield and the old wiring colors didn't match modern code. My non-contact tester beeped on what I thought was the neutral, which turned out to be a switched hot someone had taped black. I always double-check with my meter now, but what's your go-to method for verifying wires in old homes?

Old houses always have a story to tell, don't they?
