DeepGeoTech proton magnetometer

[spiridon]

I would like to introduce my new project. This is proton-precession mag with SD data logger and GPS. It is possible to analyze the readings on the built-in LCD or to save the values of the magnetic field strength with their GPS coordinates to a SD/MMC in order to process them later on a personal computer.

it is your project or you buy this DEEPGEOTECH equipment some ware. I am planing to buy one magnetometer for me. how it is. i am from india is it any dealer in india?

[spiridon]

I am the author and owner of the project DEEPGEOTECH. I do not have a dealer in India or elsewhere, but there is no problem to send equipment via DHL or another post service.
But at first I created this topic to discuss with experts my magnetometer - good or no good, etc ...

SOFTWARE

I downloaded the software with the Demo files csv format. But the program is not working.

[spiridon]

can you send me screenshot of error message?

Try this version:
(I think this error around regional decimal separator)

Thanks. Nowthe program is working. I have few doubts.
What is the meaning of the terms mentioned in the header row?
Like N- seems to be number of observations
nTesla- The total magnetic field recorded at that stations
UTCtime- I dont understand
N - many a time this column is not filled with N
Latitude - same is the case
E - Many a time this column is not filled with E
Longitude - Same is case
Gradient - there is zero value which means we have not measured

What is the distance between the observations? Is it continuous record?
If it is continuous record how do we get Easting and Northing continuously, I don't think the coordinates can be measured as a continuous record. In the manual also nothing is mentioned.

Yes

nTesla- The total magnetic field recorded at that stations

Yes

UTCtime- I dont understand

UTC Time of measure (from GPS satellites)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time

N - many a time this column is not filled with N

N-Northern hemisphere, S-South : coordinates

If not filled then the device is not able to determine the coordinates of a given place(for example, in the woods in the rain and snow, the satellite signal can be interrupted)

Latitude - same is the case

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude

You do not necessarily know what that means, you can simply double click on schedule and map will be shown the place where the measurement is made

E - Many a time this column is not filled with E

E- East W - west

Longitude - Same is case

Gradient - there is zero value which means we have not measured

Gradient - a difference of two readings of sensors in a gradiometer (gradiometer is not yet complete). In the magnetometer is not used.

What is the distance between the observations? Is it continuous record?
If it is continuous record how do we get Easting and Northing continuously, I don't think the coordinates can be measured as a continuous record. In the manual also nothing is mentioned

it is just a test track - a free search and find some items - a shovel, car, etc., do not understand it literally

more detailed tracks and video materials will be recorded as soon as the Russian winter is going to end

Thanks for your replies. It is really interesting to know that magnetometer can be used for locating the small objects like, shovel etc. By the by how do you correct for the diurnal variation of the magnetic field?

[spiridon]

. By the by how do you correct for the diurnal variation of the magnetic field?

In the search mode (AUTO), there is a sound indication, you click on the "balance" button and the magnetometer remembers the intensity of natural magnetic background, when the magnetic anomaly is detected to be reproduced audio signal, if during the search changed value of the magnetic background, you simply press the "balance" button again.

Look at this video:

Damascus knife: 1 meter
Nagan: 1.6 m

Hello Spiridon,
It is very interesting the detection of small items and your videos show how your equipment work very well , congratulation !!!....make some more videos and you will have good selling because you show true and sincere probing ( i can feel it viewing the video)
Thank you for your work,
Alexis.

what are advantages/disadvantages if we compare with Willys mag?
