BHG

Durable detector locates large ferrous metal objects by being lowered into drilled boring holes.

Specifically designed to find the presence of any ferrous metal in the ground at a radius of ± 8′, you can rely on the Bore Hole Gradiometer (BHG) sensitivity and accuracy.

The BHG system consists of 3 main items that are sold separately to facilitate its customization. The Control Box including a rechargeable 12v battery, a 50′ sensor cable with Amphenol® connectors (custom lengths available) and a bull-nosed titanium sensor which works similarly to a magnetic locator and can also be used underwater. Its rugged and durable construction makes it ideal for utility companies, the construction industry, and bridge builders.
