Metal Detector-Future I-160

The Future I-160 is based on an electromagnetic pulse method which can be used to select anomalies in the target area. Thus the device is able to detect different structures and natural features of the ground like for example:

- metal canisters, tanks, boxes
- voids, backfillings, grave chambers, caves and tombs
- steel pipes and water conduits
- water deposits

The Future I-160 is a professional measuring instrument with a very high resolution antenna of 50cm width. Compared to the Future 2005 with its 100cm antenna the Future I-160 has a four times higher density of measured data. Compared to the Earth Imager with its 16x lower resolution the device is most suitable for the professional archeological and industrial use. This fact is reflected also in the grafical representation inside the 3D-Software.

Detailed graphics are the basis for an exact determination of the size and depth of objects. Because of the compact form of the antenna the device is not only usable for the measurement in even ground conditions. Besides the usual graphical representation the device provides two more particularities. On the one hand it makes buried object immediately visible with the horizontal live picture and on the other hand a typified ultrasound scan can be created with the vertical antenna.

The device includes the following functionality:

- accoustical magnetometer
- high resolution ground scans in 3D
- live picture with horizontal ground scan antenna
- live picture with vertical pin pointing antenna
- graphical analysis on a computer

Because of the integrated microprocessor technology ground balance, depth measurement and data storage will be performed automatically by the device. The evaluation of the measured data takes place at the computer where the scanned area can be analyzed in a three-dimensional graphic with the help of the 3D-Software.
