FX-3
Ferro Probe
Magnetic
Metal Detector
By Fisher Research
Locates survey markers, pipes and other buried iron
objects
far beyond the reach of search coil type metal detectors.
 Description
The
Fisher FX-3 Ferro Probe senses fluctuations in the earth's
magnetic field caused by buried survey markers, pipes, well casings,
valves, iron relics, septic tanks and other ferromagnetic (iron or
steel) objects. Because it's a differential induction magnetometer,
the FX-3 locates buried iron objects far beyond the reach of ordinary
(search coil type) metal detectors.
Like other Fisher detectors, the FX-3
is easy to operate just turn it on and go. It weighs just 2 1/2 lbs
(1.14 kg) and features motion detection (the tube probe must be moving
to detect a target).
When the FX-3's two sensors come across
a large, ferrous object, the FX-3 signal tone increases in pitch and
volume. When the FX-3 probe is directly over the target, the signal
becomes silent and picks up again when moved past the target.
The FX-3 is extremely sensitive to iron
with a large surface area, highly magnetized objects and long objects
buried vertically. Large or small, if it's ferrous, the FX-3 is
designed to find it. In addition to its industrial uses, the FX-3 can
be used by archeologists and treasure hunters to find iron relics and
other buried ferrous artifacts.
