I want to know about ground magnetometer

[willard01]

Hi all,
I enjoy treasure hunting, and I keep searching for old treasures with my Minelab metal detector, I have tried searching for gold mines and nuggets as well. I visited my friend the other day. His brother, who is an archeologist, had a geophysical instrument called a ground magnetometer. He told me that it is used to find ancient ruins hidden below the ground. He told me that it can even be used for searching mines. But, I have never heard of this equipment before. I would like to know more on this because I am planning to get one. I thought it would be helpful for searching gold mines.

I think those are pretty expensive. Do you have a quote on one?

You know, it seems to me that it is better to buy quality once, even if it is more expensive, but in the end you will have good and reliable equipment

And the price will not always be very seriously different, now you can find quite adequate offers in terms of price and quality. We have now purchased geophysical equipment from them https://geotechru.com/ and we can't get enough of it. Good quality, optimal price tag

For that kind of money.
You'd be better off with a real portable GPR unit.
Ground penetrating radar.
Magnetometers show disturbances in the Earth's magnet field and the combined magnetic field the unit transmits.
I don't believe they have the tech to video view type levels yet. Not portable anyway.
GPR can show images and types of metals discovered.
Finds cavities,voids, treasure chest. Most anything in the ground.
Some can go a couple hundred feet into the ground.
You want a real GPR.
Not some hyped up Metal detector.

By the way.
Metal detectors are actually a form of magnetometer.
They transmit RF which is a traveling electro magnetic field.
And responds to the reflected and disturbed fields.
The cpu's determines what it suspects the target is by Set perimeters.
