Metal detector Ferro-Magnetic

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 on 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 objects, the FX-3 signal tone increase in pitch and volume. When the FX-3 probe is directly over the target, the signal becomes silent and picks u again when moved pass the target.

The FX-3 is extremly sensitive to iron with a large surface area, highly magnetized objects and long objects buried vertically. Large or small, if its 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.
