The eXp 4000 metal detector is by far the most successful geophysical instrument of all our 3D ground scanners.

This 3D metal detector is mainly used by treasure hunters and archaeologists who look for gold or hidden treasures in the underground. Many treasure finds worldwide prove that the eXp 4000 meets all requirements which are needed to be successful. By using the eXp 4000 ground scanner, many buried items can be located at depths beyond most other metal detectors.

Characteristics and applications of the eXp 4000 ground scanner

The lightweight equipment of eXp 4000 in a shock-resistant Peli case allows to be taken everywhere, also in hard accessible areas. The easy handling makes it suitable for treasure hunting experts and beginners alike.

The eXp 4000 ground scanner is specially designed for the following applications:

  • archaeological surveys, metal detection, treasure hunting and gold prospection
  • localization of the exact position of buried treasures and artifacts
  • 3D metal detection including determination of size and depth
  • detection of gold and other items of great value
  • search for ancient artifacts, hidden treasures, gold, silver, bronze, hoards of coins, treasure deposits, chests
  • localization of tunnels and caverns

The eXp 4000 metal detector has been used successfully by our customers for the following jobs:


Equipment and probes of the eXp 4000

The equipment of the eXp 4000 metal detector comprises individual probes which are optimized for various purposes:

Thanks to specialized antennas, the eXp 4000 ground scanner can also be used in mineralized areas for treasure hunting.


Data evaluation of eXp 4000 measurements

The measurement unit of the eXp 4000 includes a PC-module with which data is displayed immediately on the full color screen. During the scanning procedure a laptop computer is not required, you can see the results directly on the screen. Advanced technology allows measurements in brilliant resolutions. Measured data is stored in the 256 MB memory and can be transferred later to a computer. Transferring measured values to a computer allows the operator to evaluate and compare all stored data. In doing this the operator can determine depth, size and position of targets using the professional software Visualizer 3D.


Reaching beyond common metal detectors

The eXp 4000 3D ground scanner has several characteristics that reach beyond other technologies:

  • lightweight and protected transportation
  • non-intrusive live ground surveying
  • quick and easy set up and operation
  • live color coded surveys
  • allows for immediate and fast surveys
  • immediate on-site interpretation of target area
  • measured values showing extreme depth of survey
  • measured values showing location of targets within surveyed area
  • highly sensitive and accurate detecting device

Technical certificates and 2 years of warranty are standard for our metal detectors. Extensive field tests ensure the high quality of all ground scanners by OKM.
