Schonstedt-Magnetic-Locator-ComparisonThe Schonstedt GA-52Cx Magnetic Locator is a high-sensitivity, professional-grade instrument designed for locating buried iron and steel objects up to 20 feet (6 meters) deep. Built with HeliFlux® sensors and housed in a durable metal body, the GA-52Cx delivers unmatched reliability in harsh job site conditions, making it a trusted tool for utility locating, surveying, excavation, archaeology, and UXO detection.
