4 Advanced detection systems
Integrated Detection Systems
DD coil – Precise location of small targets in complex terrain
The 32 cm Double D coil has been specially designed to target small metal objects, such as coins, jewelry or fragments of artefacts. Thanks to its pulsed induction technology, it effectively reduces background noise and compensates for the effects of soil mineralization, enabling stable, reliable reading even in the most demanding environments.
Ideal for precise excavations or surface searches in difficult environments, it can reach depths of up to 1.6 meters, depending on the size and nature of the target. Its maneuverability makes it an essential tool for fine, targeted exploration.
Aeropulse – Deep detection on large surfaces
The 150 cm Aeropulse spool considerably increases search depth, reaching up to 6 meters for bulky objects such as chests, metal structures or archaeological remains.
Its wide design offers significant ground coverage, reducing sweeping time and improving efficiency over large areas. It is particularly useful for intensive explorations in fields, forests or undisturbed areas. Thanks to its stability and sensitivity, it delivers fast, relevant results, even in difficult-to-scan terrain.
Aeropulse 150 cm coil – The solution for depth detection
Designed for large-scale missions, this oversized coil is ideal for locating bulky objects such as safes, buried structures or metal tanks. Its large surface area maximizes depth and ground coverage, reaching up to 6 meters in optimal conditions.

Live Scan – Live display of detected anomalies
Live Scan is an interactive tool that allows you to view the signals picked up by the coils in real time. With each pass, the variations are transcribed as a dynamic graph on the touch screen, providing a clear reading of the anomalies present under your feet.
This system enables immediate action: as soon as an area of interest is detected, the user can adjust his position or modify his approach. This function is ideal for quick surveys, field checks or systematic searches of specific areas.

3D imaging – Geographical and visual analysis of the subsoil
This system transforms recorded signals into interactive 3D models, which can be viewed on a tablet or smartphone via the IVM 3D Analyzer application. Users can explore the shape, size and depth of detected objects, and adjust their prospecting strategy accordingly.
3D imaging helps to avoid unnecessary excavations by providing an accurate overview of what’s hidden underground. It’s ideal for locating buried structures and cavities, or for analyzing the distribution of targets over a given area. It’s a key tool for efficient exploration planning.
