GDI GEOSENSIS X3

The GDI GEOSENSIS X3 is a professional 3D metal detector designed specifically for locating gold and large metal objects that are buried deep underground. With its user-friendly interface, featuring only one RESET key for ground adjustment and three preset controls for volume, sensitivity of audio ticks, and rejection of metal trash, the GEOSENSIS X3 ensures ease of operation for both inexperienced users and those familiar with PI gold detectors.

One of the notable advantages of the GEOSENSIS X3 over its predecessor, the PULSE STAR II, is the Pulse Boost feature. This boost function amplifies weak target signals that might otherwise go unnoticed, achieved through higher power transmit pulses and shorter delay signal receiving filters. This enhancement significantly increases sensitivity and depth capabilities.

The frame coils of the GEOSENSIS X3 pulse detector are designed to be circular and collapsible, making transportation and storage hassle-free. The circular frame design focuses the pulse induction electromagnetic field into the center of the frame, enhancing sensitivity at greater depths compared to the usual square frames that disperse the signal over a wider area.

The GEOSENSIS X3 comes equipped with frame coils of either 1 x 1 meter square or 1.27 meters diameter round (standard equipment), and there is an accessory option for larger frame coils measuring 2 x 2 meters square or 2.56 meters diameter round. These frame coils significantly improve both depth and ground coverage compared to VLF detectors with small coils. Furthermore, small-sized metal objects near the surface and common trash, such as iron nails, pull tabs, or gun shells, are automatically ignored when using frame coils with the GEOSENSIS X3.

While small metal trash is ignored, the GEOSENSIS X3 offers a discrimination feature to help identify medium-sized surface scrap when searching for larger deep-buried masses. The metal discrimination function separates metals using LED indicators, distinguishing between Ferrous metals (like iron or tin) and Non-Ferrous metals (such as gold or precious metals). It’s important to note that a minimum fist-sized object is required for accurate metal discrimination when using frame coils.

The GEOSENSIS X3 is optimized for use with the ICON DATA real-time visualizer and data logger. ICON DATA is a compact data logger that converts signals from the X3 into 2D or 3D target images on a computer screen. This sophisticated tool provides valuable insights into the depth and shape of the detected targets. Scanning is performed as the user walks in a predefined grid area at a pace set by the ICON DATA program. The software offers various professional options for scan direction, grid dimensions, automatic data capture for flat surfaces, and manual data logging for uneven terrains with obstacles. Voice prompts guide the user through the scanning process, and the resulting graph can be displayed as a 2D or 3D image. The ICON DATA software also offers features such as probable target depth, zoom, filters, rotation, and export options for edited images in BMP, JPEG formats, or printing.

The GDI GEOSENSIS X3, combined with the ICON DATA real-time visualizer and data logger, provides advanced capabilities and professional-grade features for deep underground metal detection and analysis. It is a powerful tool for archaeologists, treasure hunters, and researchers seeking to uncover hidden treasures and valuable artifacts.
