Metal Detectors

Systematic searching
demands more than a good tone.

Settlement layers, ancient trade routes, battlefields – a detectorist prospecting historical terrain features isn't only fighting against depth. They are fighting against the soil itself: mineralised ground absorbs weak signals, and wherever Romans camped or medieval communities settled, iron lies packed densely – nails, fittings, tools – layer upon layer in the earth. For conventional detectors, that is noise. For the experienced prospector, it is context.

OKM metal detectors tackle this with a two-stage approach: in magnetometer mode the terrain is first swept for near-surface scrap and cleared – so the subsequent 3D ground scan can work undisturbed into the depths. The result is an anomaly display of the entire scan area: coins, fittings and hoards stand out as distinct signature patterns.
You decide what to dig – not the device.

Does your device reach deep enough?

Hoards from times when wealth was not entrusted to banks. Gold deposits in rugged terrain. Jewellery, coins, sealed chests – hidden, forgotten, waiting. The question is never whether such finds exist. The question is whether your device reaches deep enough.

See what lies hidden.

In Ground-Scan mode, OKM metal detectors cover your entire search area in just a few passes – the result is a colour-coded 3D visualisation showing the position, depth and size of the find, before you dig. Anyone purchasing a metal detector built for serious treasure hunting needs exactly this: not acoustic approximations, but actionable results.

The right device for your project

OKM offers the right metal detector for every search objective – from the compact entry-level device for first projects to the professional 3D ground scanner with multiple operating modes for gold detection, cavity location and deep scans down to 25 metres. Together we will find the detector that fits your specific project: our expert advisors know every device, every application scenario, and are happy to help.

Reading battlefields. Recovering relics.

Those who prospect historical battlefields and encampment sites are looking for the tangible traces of military conflict: buckles, insignia, ammunition, equipment parts – objects that do not merely describe the history of war, but prove it. The find spot is often just as revealing as the find itself. This demands a device that does not just respond, but differentiates.

Military relics often lie deep, distributed across large areas and embedded in iron-rich soil – conditions similar to historical prospection, but with different priorities:
Here the focus is not on isolated coins, but on scatter fields of objects varying in size and composition. Magnetometer mode clears the surface; the subsequent ground scan delivers the anomaly display of the depths. You see where digging is worthwhile – and where it is not.

OKM metal detectors are engineered for the most diverse terrain types: fields, forest floors, hillsides. For every militaria project, we will advise you on the right device choice.
