The Schonstedt SPOT Magnetic Locator is designed to offer high sensitivity and precise location of deep iron and steel objects like survey pins, markers, nails, water and gas valves, manhole covers, and more. Built for tough terrain and extreme weather, it offers the same quality and reliability as the Schonstedt GA-52Cx but in a sleeker, lightweight package.

This locator features HeliFlux sensors for optimized performance, and audio-only output, which makes it ideal for environments where visual displays are not feasible. The frequency of the audio increases or decreases with signal strength, providing clear and accurate feedback based on proximity to the target.

With a depth detection range of up to 18 feet (depending on the object), the SPOT Magnetic Locator is perfect for both shallow and deep searches. Its IP54 rating ensures dust and water resistance, making it suitable for use in various environmental conditions, including wet or dusty areas.

The SPOT is powered by a 9V battery, which lasts up to 24 hours with intermittent use. Weighing only 2 lbs (0.9 kg), it’s lightweight and easy to carry, and it comes with a durable padded soft case with a shoulder sling, making it highly portable and convenient for field use.
