More Information

Key Features

• HeliFlux™ Sensor Technology

Industry-leading sensitivity with patented HeliFlux™ sensors detects ferrous objects like survey markers, valve covers, and UXO up to 15–18 feet deep, depending on object mass and soil conditions.

• Audio + Visual Target Feedback

Combines an analog audio tone with a digital LCD display. The screen shows a 3-digit numeric value, bar graph, and polarity indicator—giving users precise control over detection and orientation.

• Selectable Audio Modes

Toggle between two tone modes: constant signal (default “B” setting) or signal-on-target only (“A” setting). Customize how alerts are triggered based on jobsite preferences or noise levels.

• Four Sensitivity Levels

Fine-tune detection for small or large targets with adjustable sensitivity settings. Ideal for navigating cluttered environments or focusing on deeply buried items.

• Analog Output Capability

A headphone jack doubles as an analog output, enabling signal strength logging via data recorders—perfect for UXO documentation or field training sessions.

• Legendary Reliability

Schonstedt’s global reputation and over 400,000 units deployed—including military UXO missions—make the GA-72Cd a trusted choice across industries.
