OKM Treasure Hunter scanning the ground with the Rover C New Edition
Metal detection with Rover C New Edition: The metal detector Rover C is a multi purpose treasure detector.

The Rover C has been one of the first metal detecting instruments which was able to perform geophysical and archaeological investigations in high depths and create a three-dimensional image of the underground and buried objects or voids. This multi-purpose metal detecting instrument is able to visualize underground objects, find metal artefacts like gold and silver as well as voids such as hidden rooms, graves or tunnel systems.

The 3D metal detector Rover C is able to locate objects and structures such as:

  • metal objects like tanks, boxes and pipes
  • voids like grave chambers, caves, tunnels or tombs
  • pottery, bricks, underground walls and ruins, buried foundations and other man-made rocks

Easy-to-use treasure detector

Thanks to its functionality and easy handling, the detector is especially designed for searchers who want to start up with 3D metal detecting instruments and experience the new technology of 3D ground scanning in a simple way.

Treasure hunters – beginners and experienced alike – do not have to be professionals to use this metal detector. The small and transportable shape of the Rover C New Edition allows the usage of the ground scanner in different types of terrain. The integrated microprocessor technology automatically performs ground balance, depth modulation and data storage.

Ready-to-start treasure detector

The Rover C is delivered with a pre-configurated outdoor mini laptop with pre-installed detector software Visualizer 3D and bluetooth data transfer technology. Thus, it is ready to start detecting right away, without further installations or setups. The mini laptop with its small size and light weight is extremely mobile and can be taken anywhere. It is specially designed for outdoor activities, bumps and shocks are no longer issues.


Save and evaluate measured data

Measured data of the Future Series device Rover C can be transferred to any computer or stored temporarily in the internal memory of the detector itself. After completing the measurement, the recorded values can be analyzed in a graphical representation of the 3D software Visualizer 3D. This allows to get exact information about the size and depth of buried materials. Precise object shapes and structures are visible if enough measured values have been recorded.
