Locating Steel Drums
As shown in Figure 17, the GA-52Cx’s signal pattern will vary depending on the vertical or horizontal orientation of the drum and
also how deep it is buried. A fifty-five gallon drum can be located at depths of up to 10 feet.

Additional Applications
1. The military and many local and state police departments use the GA-52Cx to detect buried ordnance and discarded weapons.
2. People drilling in an area where hazardous materials might be encountered use the GA-52Cx to search the area prior to drilling.
Other Schonstedt magnetometers are available that can be lowered down the hole for periodic checks as drilling progresses.
Other Notes
1. A burbling sound indicates the presence of an energized power line.
2. The instrument will not detect non-magnetic materials such as gold, silver, copper, brass and aluminum.
