| Model FX-3 |
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. |
