The Metal Detector

A metal detector helps you to locate objects which are buried under the ground. It is used to find targets under the surface of the ground without the need to dig. A metal detector can locate all type of metals like gold, silver, copper, aluminium, iron targets and other valuable targets. The indication of a detected object can be via acoustical signal, a digital display, an analog display, a signal lamp or an image or curve.
metal detector eXp 5000 is a Measuring instrument

A measuring instrument measures the anomalies of the underground. So it is possible to locate buried objects, underground voids, water deposits or foundations which are located under the ground.
measuring instrument of newest technology and has been developed in particular for professional use. Through the supplied video eyeglasses buried objects like boxes, pipes, metals but also cavities and grave chambers under the surface becomes visible immediately. Furthermore the video eyeglasses are optimised for the search during the night and also protects against perturbing sunlight at day.

Compact equipment and easy handling

The Earth Imager

Earth Imagers are high technology metal detectors with graphical representation of the searched underground.
Earth Imager eXp 5000 includes an easily removable control unit which makes it easier to use in different areas. With its compact equipment the device is also easy to handle in terrains which are difficult to access.

Fast processing of measured data

The device allows measurements in brilliant resolutions. All recorded data is processed immediately through the integrated pc-module and becomes visible through the video eyeglasses. The size of any measurement is almost indefinite and only limited by the storage capacity of 256 MB. All collected measured data can be transferred afterwards to a personal computer to analyse the results professionally in the software program Visualizer 3D. Besides the measuring values additional information like

  • the date and time,
  • the used antenna,
  • the GPS - Global Positioning System

    GPS is a satellite based navigation system consisting of 24 satellites which permanently transmit the position and time. By calculating the travel time of the signals GPS receiver determine the position and velocity. In combination with a metal detector the position of the current search field can be stored to be used for navigation at a later time.
    GPS coordinates (if GPS has been activated) and
  • the current measurement settings

will be stored in every graphical representation automatically. Date and time settings can be adapted individually to the actual time zone.

Individual operating modes

The geophysical instrument and metal detector eXp 5000 supports different operating modes which can be used for specific underground investigations. According to your personal requirements one of the following operating modes comes into operation:

  • Magnetometer

    A magnetometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the strength and/or direction of the magnetic field and their disturbances. So it is possible to locate buried targets. Magnetometers are used in geophysical surveys to find deposits of iron because they can measure the magnetic field variations caused by the deposits. Magnetometers are also used to detect archaeological sites, shipwrecks and other buried or submerged objects. Magnetic anomaly detectors detect submarines for military purposes. The Magnetometer mode of FS Future Series devices mostly is used to locate ferrous objects which are located near to the surface of the ground. This function is very usefull to eliminate small trash from the surface and in fact prepare the scan area for a professional measurement in the Ground Scan mode.

  • Ground Scan

    Ground Scan is the operating mode where the searcher is able to receive a 3d image of the underground by scanning an area. The searcher has to walk over the ground with an antenna to scan an area. So it is possible to visualize the underground and its anomalies. In the mode Ground Scan it is also possible to measure the position, depth and size of underground objects or voids.
    Ground Scan ( create colored representations of the underground in 3D )
  • Discrimination

    Discrimination is the capability to distinguish between different types of metals such as gold, silver, iron, aluminium and others. By the help of a metal detector with metal discrimination you will be able to determine the exact type of material located under the ground.
    Discrimination ( Metal Discrimination

    Metal discrimination is the possibility to find out the type of metal which is buried under the ground. There is a regulator on the antenna or device, which can be adjusted on a specific type of metal like gold, silver, iron or aluminium. The metal detector filters out all materials which you don’t like to detect. This feature prevents the treasure hunter who is only searching for precious metals from useless digging. Some antennas can discriminate between ferrous and nonferrous metals and other antennas can tell you the exact type of metal.
