eXp 4000 - metal detector and 3d ground scanner
The Earth Imagers are the stars of our "FS - Future Serie". They can represent graphical measuring results without using any additional computer. Because of the high amount of optional accessories they are extendable individually. Every customer can purchase only that what he needs for his purposes.
The eXp 4000 metal detector is by far the most successful geophysical instrument of all our 3d ground scanners. This 3d metal detector is mostly used by treasure hunters, archaeologists and anyone who is looking for gold or hidden treasures underground. The many treasure finds worldwide has proven that the eXp 4000 really fulfills all of the 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
Lightweight portability, packed in a shock protective Peli transportation case so it can be taken everywhere, also in areas difficult to access. The easy handling makes it suitable for everybody. You don't have to be a metal detecting expert to use this treasure detector.
The eXp 4000 ground scanner is specially designed for the following applications:
- Archaeological surveys, metal detection, treasure hunting and gold prospection
- locating the exact position of buried treasures and artifacts
- 3d metal detecting including size and depth
- detecting gold and other items of great value
- finding ancient artifacts, hidden treasures, gold, silver, bronze, hoards of coins, treasure deposits, chests
- tunnel and cavern locating
The eXp 4000 metal detector has been used successfully by our customers for the following jobs:
- Detection of hidden historic artifacts, coins and valuable figures in North Africa (Maghreb countries)
- Detection of ancients coins in Syria
- Localization of underground tunnel and bunker systems with hidden treasures on the Philippines
- Detection of relics and ancient artifacts from the former Persian Empire in Iran and around
- Bottle detection in Suriname
- Detection of bronze statues, antic plates and artifacts in Balkan area
- Ghost town hunting and prospecting in USA, Mexico and Canada
- Detection of large quantities of ancient coins and lost guerrilla gold in Greece
- Localization of underground bunker systems from WWI in Belgium
Due to specialized antennas the eXp 4000 ground scanner can also be used in mineralized areas for treasure hunting.


The comprehensive equipment of the eXp 4000 metal detector is only one point that makes it a unique treasure hunting unit. Every single probe was optimized for its own purpose. So you can work with the following antennas:
- GPR-Antenna ( 25 cm, 50 cm, 75 cm, 100 cm )
- Antenna for metal discrimination ( DDV system )
- Antenna for tunnel detection
- Super Sensor for high resolution ground scans
- FS-Thermoscan for 3D infrared images
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 Visualizer 3D software.
The eXp 4000 3d ground scanner has several characteristics that set it aside from other technologies:
- lightweight portability
- non-intrusive live ground surveying
- quick and easy set up and operation
- live color coded surveys
- allows for impromptu 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 all OKM metal detectors. Extensive field tests ensure the high quality of all OKM ground scanners which leave our factory.

The high resolution Super Sensor and the DDV system (visual metal detector) are included. These add-ons enable the user to distinguish different types of metals and can concentrate on the precious targets and items of great value. Also included is an additional Power Pack giving you more time in the field to search for the buried gold.
Additional accessories can be purchased at any time to increase the field capabilities of your unit.
Professional Edition: The Professional Edition of the eXp 4000 metal detector is for professional searching needs and includes all available options. Various probes are included such as all of the horizontal GPR antennas of different sizes, the specialized antenna for tunnel and cavity detection as well as the FS-Thermoscan for infrared measurements.
Here we present some relevant discoveries, which have been located. If you also made a discovery or know somebody who made a fantastic find with our metal detectors, just write us an email or use our online form!
A happy owner of an OKM eXp 4000 3D ground scanner detected some amazing, ancient, well preserved gold figures and seal stamps in 1,5 m depth.
A successful treasure hunter from Kermanshah in Iran informed us about his latest treasure find. With the OKM ground scanner eXp 4000 he detected this historical figure made of bronze in 1,65 m depth. The artefact has a size of 5 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm and shows the head of an animal with bent horns. Unfortunately the treasure hunter was not able to give us more detailed information. Maybe you know what ancient artifact this is?
Mexico is well known for its hidden treasures. Besides the famous ruins of Tenochtitla, an ancient aztec-city, or Chichen-Itza, a historic mayan-city, there are a lot of gold and silver treasures buried deep under the Mexican ground. The search for the lost treasures was a big adventure for one of our customers too, which was worth the trouble. The treasure hunter detected an ancient treasure chest with valuable contents by using the eXp 4000 ground scanner and 3d metal detector. The coin treasure which was hidden in the chest has been detected in a depth of about 1.5 meters. A highlight for every treasure hunter.
A large amount of more than 800 pieces of ancient coins has been detected by treasure hunters in Syria. They found the hoard by using the eXp 4000 metal detector and 3d ground scanner. This coin cache is very valuable and the value of each single coin is estimated from 150 - 8000 Euro.
