technology that enhances Minelab‟s renowned and highly successful
Multi-Period-Sensing (MPS) technology.
sensitivity of a detector remains consistent regardless of the
mineralised content of soil. Additionally, Bi-polar technology assists
in eliminating the possibility of initiating a magnetic influence mine.
Combined with "static coupling" the F3 does not require motion to
detect a target thereby making pin-pointing techniques fast and
accurate.
Since 1996, Minelab has designed, developed and
