The GA-52Cx Magnetic Locator is the industry-leading solution for locating buried ferrous metal objects in surveying, civil construction and utility applications. Known for its reliability, accuracy and exceptional depth detection, the GA-52Cx allows operators to quickly and confidently find magnetic targets even in difficult ground conditions.

Designed with a dual-sensor system, the GA-52Cx measures the difference between two magnetic fields, allowing it to ignore uniform magnetic interference while responding strongly to buried iron and steel objects. This makes it ideal for locating survey pegs, boundary markers, valves, pipes, well casings and manhole covers.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extreme Detection Depth – Capable of detecting large ferrous objects at depths of up to 4.9 m (16 ft), and smaller objects such as survey pegs at significant depths.

• High-Sensitivity Dual Sensors – Accurately detects magnetic field gradients for precise target location while rejecting background interference.

• Simple Audio & Visual Feedback – Clear audio signal with visual LED indicators allows fast target identification in any environment.

• Rugged, Field-Proven Design – Built for harsh jobsite conditions with a durable, weather-resistant housing.

• One-Hand Operation – Lightweight and ergonomically designed for comfortable, all-day use.

• No Calibration Required – Ready to use straight out of the box with minimal setup.
