The Schonstedt Magnetic Locator
The Schonstedt magnetic finder is capable of detecting ferrous metal items. Therefore, if a magnet can adhere to it, this gadget can locate it. However, the object's size dictates the depth to which it may be discovered. It will be unable to identify aluminum or copper-clad electrical power wires, both of which are non-ferrous materials. However, it can locate steel enclosures, property corner markers, cast iron pipes, and any other sort of iron or steel hardware.
How Does a Schonstedt Magnetic Locator Work?
You may use a Schonstedt magnetic finder to track down just ferrous metal items. So if a magnet can attach itself to it, it will be able to locate it. The following may be included:
- Weapons
- Unexploded ordinance
- Marker magnets
- Mag and PK nails
- Steel enclosure or hardware
- Cast iron pipes
- Property corner markers
- Hazmat drums
- Manhole covers
- Septic tanks
- Valve boxes
- well casings
Unlike a pipe and cable finder, which can only locate items that emit an electrical charge or radio signal, this device can also detect magnetic fields.
What Is a Schonstedt Magnetic Locator?
Like any other magnetic finder, this gadget will only discover ferrous metals, such as steel and iron. Hence it won't be able to locate cable or electrical lines (where copper or aluminum are often used). You'll need to use another tool to find things made of non-metallic or non-ferrous materials, such as a pipe or cable locator.
Can the Schonstedt GA-52Cx Be Used to Locate Underground Pipes and Cables?
The Schonstedt GA-52Cx magnetic finder is unable to locate underground pipelines and cables since they are constructed of non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper. It is only able to detect magnetic materials using this gadget, such as iron or steel.
