Discovery Underwater Proton Magnetometer

Discovery Proton Magnetometers are designed for Professional treasure hunters around the world. Discovery’s easy to use Proton magnetometers offer the greatest depth of any proton type metal detector on small and larger buried targets and are capable of detecting very large Iron treasures at distances of up to 150 feet. Affordable rugged Detectors made in the USA

Underwater Proton Magnetometer, Finds Boat in 100 Feet of Water.
I’ve had the handheld, underwater Discovery Proton Magnetometer for three years and in that time the unit has easily paid for itself. All of my underwater treasure hunting has been done in lakes in an effort to locate and recover recently sunken recreational boats. I have personally located four boats that had sunken 60 to 100 feet under water – all of which were completely lost to other methods of search and recovery. One boat was sunken in a dark and murky lake and after it was recovered I went back to the site with the Discovery Proton Magnetometer where I found the boat owners very expensive watch and sunglasses in addition to his wife’s small purse – all of which were buried in mud at the bottom of the lake!
 

Discovery is an underwater handheld PROTON magnetometer that uses a state of the art circuit incorporating an embedded microprocessor and advanced semiconductors designed for the year 2000 and beyond. This is a one gamma sensitivity magnetometer using a large red LED five number readout of the absolute magnetic field value.

Discovery is rated to a depth of 130' feet. It uses a simple built in system for world wide tuning using a look up table to set a ten position micro switch. It also has a unused RS232 and RS485 output that could be used with DGPS logging.


"Treasure hunters will love how easy the Proton Magnetometers are to use. You can quickly locate and pinpoint any buried iron treasure - in either fresh or salt water.

Our magnetometer offers the most depth in any type of soil on all iron targets. Yet the operation of the Discovery is simple and requires minimal training in the field.

Many treasure hunters use magnetometers to locate iron strongboxes full of gold or silver coins, to find iron cannons, cannon balls, or guns from the Civil War era. Locate iron ships, treasure site with iron wreckage or debris fields that in many cases will often hold other valuable metals like silver and gold.

The Discovery finds iron items that both tell a story and lead you to other treasures - it will find wagon wheels that tell the story of migration and surround old settlements, iron bans from old wooden treasure chests that hid family fortunes, and projectiles that indicate ships or wreckage or battle sites.

Discovery now has sound. Now standard with a ear phone with a continuous tone that changes in pitch with changes in the gamma readouts. If the numbers go up or down the tone also goes up or down. (You do not have to watch the readout, just listen for your target.) Pinpointing the exact location is a snap.
A $420.00 option, now inculded free.

Standard with every Discovery system is a built in rechargeable battery with a life of 200 to 300 charges. Also included is a 110 volt battery charger and a durable ABS plastic transport case. Discovery is designed to be taken apart for shipping in its own case, allowing you to easily travel with it in your car, plane, or boat!

The Discovery will run for up to 5 hours on a single battery charge while providing a new reading every 5 seconds. The update rate of the readout of Discovery is user adjustable by setting a switch on the face plate. This switch allows for two update rates. Five seconds and two and a half seconds. This rate can be changed at anytime during your search. At the two and one half second update rate the battery will last around 2 hours.
