Magnetic & Metal Detection Surveys

SHARE

The Magnetic survey technique is based on mapping localised variations in the Earth’s magnetic field caused sub-surface magnetic materials which range from naturally occurring magnetic minerals to man-made ferrous objects. This leads to a wide range of applications from small-scale archeology and engineering surveys to detect buried metallic objects, to large-scale surveys carried out to investigate regional geological trends or mineralisation.
