Description

The Fisher MI-FX-3 Ferro Probe senses fluctuations in the earth's magnetic field caused by buried survey markers, pipes, well casings, valves, iron relics, septic tanks and other ferromagnetic (iron or steel) objects. Because it's a differential induction magnetometer, the MI-FX-3 locates buried iron objects far beyond the reach of ordinary (search coil type) metal detectors.

Like other Fisher detectors, the MI-FX-3 is easy to operate just turn it on and go. It weighs just 2 1/2 lbs (1.14 kg) and features motion detection (the tube probe must be moving to detect a target).

When the MI-FX-3's two sensors come across a large, ferrous object, the MI-FX-3 signal tone increases in pitch and volume. When the MI-FX-3 probe is directly over the target, the signal becomes silent and picks up again when moved past the target.

The MI-FX-3 is extremely sensitive to iron with a large surface area, highly magnetized objects and long objects buried vertically. Large or small, if it's ferrous, the MI-FX-3 is designed to find it. In addition to its industrial uses, the MI-FX-3 can be used by archeologists and treasure hunters to find iron relics and other buried ferrous artifacts.
