The probe is specially constructed to tolerate the moderate stresses encountered when it is
pressed against surfaces. It is designed to perform equally well on land or when submerged in
water.
The sensor provides a method for surveying and plotting the concentration of ferromagnetic
minerals in the top circa 60mm of the land surface. It is especially well suited for use on plane
surfaces such as beaches and poorly vegetated slopes.
Note: Surface roughness in the form of tussocky vegetation, or variable thickness of
organic leaf litter, limits the accuracy of the MS2D probe. The MS2F probe may be more
appropriate for these conditions.

11.1 General Description

The MS2F probe is the second probe that is used with the MS2 probe handle. It is a point sensor,
with a much smaller effective volume than the MS2D, allowing more accurate measurements
over rougher surfaces. It is light and small enough to penetrate surface vegetation, or to allow
