Rycom MSL Magnastick

The Rycom Magnastick MSL is a rugged, ergonomic magnetometer designed to detect ferrous (iron) objects by sensing magnetic field flux lines. Unlike metal detectors, it is unaffected by non-ferrous materials such as brass, aluminum, or copper, making it ideal for precise detection of buried utilities and ferromagnetic structures. Built with a durable aluminum tube and recessed controls, the Magnastick is waterproof up to the keypad and can even locate objects below the water surface. Lightweight and well-balanced, it provides years of reliable field performance
