The Fisher FX3 Ferro Magnetic Locator is a powerful and versatile tool designed for locating iron and steel objects buried beyond the reach of standard metal detectors. It employs a highly sensitive differential induction magnetometer technology that allows it to detect ferromagnetic materials such as iron and steel while ignoring non-ferrous materials like copper, aluminum, and brass.
Equipped with two sensors, the FX3 responds specifically to the magnetic field of ferrous objects, providing precise target detection. As the user approaches a target, the built-in VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) circuitry produces an increase in pitch and volume, allowing for accurate pinpointing of the buried object. The FX3 is known for its exceptional sensitivity, especially towards objects with large surface areas, highly magnetized properties, and long vertical orientations.
The FX3 Ferro Magnetic Locator is designed to locate a wide range of buried ferrous objects, including iron and steel relics, property markers, pipes, and other large ferrous items. It is a reliable tool for archaeologists, treasure hunters, and relic enthusiasts, enabling them to locate Civil War artifacts, uniform buttons, musket balls, belt buckles, and box plates with ease.
With its compact and portable design, the FX3 Ferro Magnetic Locator is capable of reaching places that traditional metal detector coils may not be able to access. It allows users to search deep into thickets, trench formations, and even between rocks, providing access to hidden treasures and artifacts.
Fisher has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality and user-friendly metal detectors, and the FX3 Ferro Magnetic Locator is no exception. Its simple one-knob operation makes it easy to use, and its lightweight construction, weighing just 2.5 lbs (1.14 kg), ensures comfortable and convenient handling during extended search sessions.
