This listing is for a complete vehicle-mounted VBADS metal detection system built around a Geonics EM61 time-domain metal detector, configured to be towed / carried by a vehicle for high-productivity surveys.
The EM61 family is widely used for:
-
UXO / munitions response surveys
-
Locating buried drums & underground storage tanks (USTs)
-
Environmental / geophysical metal detection surveys
-
Locating buried metallic infrastructure
Included:
-
EM61 detector assembly (electronics + sensor head / coil)
-
Vehicle-mount VBADS boom
-
Harness / cabling as shown
-
Mounting hardware/brackets as shown in photos
Condition:
Surplus equipment from a professional environment. Shows normal field use (scuffs, scratches, sun fade, etc.). We do not have the original laptop, logging software, or site to fully field-test, so it is sold as-is.
Specs / capability (from manufacturer sources):
-
Time-domain metal detector for ferrous & non-ferrous metals
-
High sensitivity & resolution; typical target response is a single well-defined peak for easy picking
-
Large targets (e.g. 55-gal drum) can be detected at depths greater than ~3 m, depending on size and orientation
Please note: buyer is responsible for integration with their own data acquisition system (GPS, logging software, power, etc.).
