OKM Visualizer 3D Studio Scan Analysis
Visualizer 3D Studio offers treasure hunters, archaeologists and professional users in industry the possibility to locate and visualize hidden objects in the underground even before excavation. By using the innovative analysis software, the position, size and depth of the detected object can be determined more precisely after the measurement with the OKM detector.
Most OKM devices are magnetometers and display magnetic changes in the probe range. By using the metal detectors available in the market and having enough experience, usually metals can be detected at a depth between 2 and 2.5 meters. Higher depths require advanced metal detectors, large frames and high experience with working with the device. The use of magnetometer in archeology studies and treasure exploration allows us to go beyond the limitations of metal detectors and reach higher depths. I have personally experienced metal detection up to a depth of 9.5 meters using OKM devices. A depth that is far beyond the detection range of a metal detector. I have also found tunnels at a depth of 11.5 meters.
Magnetometers also have their own limitations. They detect magnetic changes! Many objects are not magnetic. Such devices are both good and in some cases they do not have the required efficiency. To be successful in using these devices, we must know their capabilities and limitations. If our target is a magnetic metal, it is more likely to be found. This does not mean that non-magnetic targets cannot be detected with magnetometers. They reduce the amount of magnet in their range. For example, plastic is not magnetic, but I have had experience finding plastic parts with OKM magnetometers. The objects that are placed in the underground cause magnetic changes in their area. Structures and tunnels also create these changes. This is either due to changes in the soil and digging up the soil to place the object, or the object itself has magnetic properties, or due to being non-magnetic, it causes changes in its range. The changes are either an increase in the value of the magnet or a decrease in its value.
I have worked with OKM products for over 15 years and on this page I try to teach how to analyze scans taken with OKM devices.
Below you can see the analysis of the scans I have done using OKM devices.

You can send your files for free analysis through the form below.
To analyze your scans, information including the length of the field, the direction of each of the scans you have done, and if possible a photo of the land you have scanned is needed.
For a better analysis, at least two scan files are needed from each of the scanned fields. One original scan file and another, the corresponding control scan taken from another direction from the same scan field.
