Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. HandySan User’s Manual Introduction HandyScan is a small-size, fully functional ground penetrating radar. It can instantly find the position and depth of metal and non-metal bars, pipes and cables. It works in natural and manmade non-conductive materials (concrete, rock, sand, brick, water, and ice). It can also locate voids and measure the thickness of walls, floors and other structural elements.
