Does anyone know anything about the maker of this mag?

The website URL is: http://mldaltonresearch.com/

Questions:
- this seems to be based on Phil Barnes design?
- is the maker still in existence presently?
- is the maker reliable?
- there's a phone number listed in the Contact page, if someone can dial the number, does somebody answer?
- can this mag be transported to another country outside U.S.?

As I am not from the U.S. I need a feedback on this.

Thank you very much.

I've been contacting the number of this maker a couple of times but only answering machine.

Too bad we are in need of such a mag but now, as no one replied to my post and not being able to talk to a live person on the makers end, I assume that this maker gets all the negative impressions that I have.

If someone could just dial the number and hear the recording, well you can think the same way as I do.

Thanks for no reply.

That what you call a Scammm

Forget about it man it looks like a scam to me, they d'ont even answer the call and they do not want anybody to contact them by e-mail either.

Not a scam

ML Dalton has been around for many years. His stuff is quite outdated for what it is. He is located in Dallas. I think he is out dated as well. This is the age of the internet. Put your info on your website...not charge $3 to find out what he is selling. I looked at his stuff back in the mid 90s and decided it was too much money for a bunch of PVC pipe and bought a Geometrics G856. He went away but looks like he is trying it again.

Thanks for all the comments.

I finally was able to talk with Mr. Dalton the other day. It's only that the answering machine takes the call. But fortunately that time he was there to answer my call. So we talked.

Actually we are looking for a simple mag that would give audio output and the strength of signal, not the once that's being sold by the big companies and big bucks for the price. This is better than having us make our own using Phil Barnes design or the Fluxgate which we think the sensitivity is shallow. Aside from having no knowledge in making the builders kit we also do not have the time to make it. No luck here.

The only problem we have now is how to purchase it because we are outside the U.S.

Hello Forum,
If you want a good ,small price, and effective flux magnetometer, he give audio and strength of signal see:
http://www.magneticlocator.com/
I recommend it we have one and sure it is very sensitive.

Alex,

Thanks for the info of the flux Mag.

However, as I read the site, it's a single sensor mag. What we are looking for is a proton type differential mag.

Thanks again.

no to fluxgates

I bought a Dalton fluxgate and spent 1/2 day with him, and it will find steel pipe a foot or so down; would never consider another
then a Geometrics 856AX (proton), then a Geometrics 858 (cesium) - which I still have

suggest saving until an effective instrument can be bought
- these can be rented as well
perhaps a mag stick would work, the new ones are rather sophisticated (but no data logging)
but differential results are from a gradiometer

all mag survey results require analysis, MUCH more difficult than gathering the data

Bill,

So you mean it is not what's advertised on Mr. Dalton's website which his mag is supposed to be Differential Proton Magnetometer?

Data logging is not a requirement as we are looking for metalic objects about the size of a fist or bigger.

Thanks for enlightening.

[BillA]

you are correct (many years ago)
the Dalton sensors are horizontally aligned, a gradiometer's are vertical
- are the Dalton sensors each vertically oriented (while on a horizontal axis), or on the horizontal (with the horizontal axis) ?

were one to make a modern design design of horizontal sensors I would think that volume and pitch would be utilized also to indicate direction
- I have not seen such

It is a unique instrument capiable of detecting iron objects between 30-50 feet in depth.If one wants a copy of the article email me,[email protected] is completly differant than those used for geology.I would really like to know how to get one.
