The simple-to-use logging console provides real-time feedback to the operator with an X-Y
position plot and up to 5stacked profiles of recorded data. The system is fast, providing
up to 2 acres per hour of tight line spacing coverage plus several options that can increase
productivity even further.
The system is extremely versatile and can be used in horizontal or vertical gradiometer mode,
with non-magnetic carts for target search and with a GPS backpack and steering lightbar for
long range mineral or geologic surveys. Rugged, reliable, easy to use, this high productivity
tool out performs all Competitive technologies such as Overhauser.
The speed and efficiency of the G-858 result in low cost surveys. Even lower Costs may be
achieved by using the Gradiometer mode and MagCart to widen the search radius.
For example, a horizontal transverse gradiometer (dual sensor array held orthogonally to
the survey line) provides twice the density of coverage on tightly spaced survey grids. Only
half the number of profiles are required to obtain optimal coverage at a huge savings in field
time.
The primary applications for the integrated magnetometer and GPS system are
environmental survey, target search and mining or oil/gas exploration programs, removing
the need for Per survey line placement.
Our MagMap2000 data processing software uploads the data from the G858console linearly
interpolates the positions and provides each data point (or other recorded device) with its
own XY or Lat/Long UTM coordinate location. If recorded, the GPS positions are imported
into MagMap2000 for display and editing.
MagMap also provides diurnal correction, data plotting, high or low pass filtering, spike
editing, and contour map generation. Data can then be exported to Surfer, Geosoft or
Geometrics free MagPick software package which can perform inversion to Compute the
position and depth of
targets.
The G-858 provides various modes of operation to allow users to custom design a survey grid
for their particular needs. Instrument operators have the ability to view their position on the
grid and the current data profile during the survey. Display resolution, audible alerts, sample
rate and many other functions are user selectable.
G-858R
G-858 data acquisition offers either continuous or discrete station recording. The high
sampling rate of the instrument in continuous mode allows the operator to survey an area at a
fast walking pace. A wider search zone can be achieved by adding a second sensor. Adding a
second sensor also provides the ability to measure the magnetic field gradient.
The G-858 is designed to interface easily with standard computers and peripherals.
Geometrics encourages clients to provide their own processing computer hardware.

Reliability
Our Cesium sensors never need calibration or factory realignment. Designed for extreme
ruggedness and reliability.
This new low-cost Cesium vapor magnetometer system offers the mining/oil/gas Survey
companies the best total field magnetic survey tool available. Based on our industry standard
G-858 MagMapper system, the G-859 incorporates all of the reliability and proven
performance in a light weight survey package with integrated WAAS/EGNOS enabled
Novatel GPS
OPERATION
The G859 Mining Mag uses a graphical interface to make survey design and data acquisition
quick and efficient. A "Simple" or Mapped Mode uses line numbers and known staked
reference points to define the map parameters. Or the user may use the integrated Novatel
Smart Antenna GPS for mapping positions automatically.
Position information may come from an external GPS, from regularly spaced fiducial marks
input by the operator or both. At any time, the user may switch to profile mode to observe
the last 5 data lines as stacked profiles.
Data is collected in up to 5 separate survey files and transferred via high speed RS232 data
link (or USB with converter) to a computer for further analysis and map generation. The full
featured graphical data editing program MagMap2000 is provided to allow repositioning,
realignment, GPS smoothing, data filtering and interpolation of the data.
After editing, the data is formatted in either Surfer for Windows or Geosoft formats for
further plotting and analysis.
DIGITAL QUALITY
The G859 system produces raw data of the highest quality. Data is digitally recorded in
compressed form in high capacity RAM and later transferred to a computer for permanent
storage and processing.
Sensitivity, resolution and recording rate of the cesium magnetometer are user selectable
as well as mapped survey grid coordinates or GPS position data. The system is ruggedly
packaged for extreme field conditions. Data storage is sufficient to record 8 hours of data at
the maximum rate of 5 Hz. Battery life is approximately 8 hours powering both the
Magnetometer and Novatel Smart AntennaGPS.

and provides:
Transfer of the raw magnetometer, base station and other survey data to the client PC
Standard corrections for position errors, transients, and time varying errors (diurnal)
GPS track plot with adjustable smoothing and independent point editing
Repositioning, linear interpolation and format of corrected data into X, Y, Z or Latitude
/Longitude ASCII columnar values for use with Surfer for Windows, Geosoft or other client
supplied contouring programs.
Conversion of GPS to UTM coordinate system using a selected Datum.
In addition to the standard MagMap2000 download and editing software, other softwares
accessible are MagPick and CSAZII
G-857 Magnetometer
The newly re-engineered G-857 provides a reliable, low cost solution for a variety of magnetic
search and mapping applications. Single key stroke operation means the G-857 can be
operated by non-technical field personnel or used in teaching environments. The G-857 uses
the well-established proton precession method, allowing accurate measurements to be made
with virtually no dependence upon variables such as sensor orientation, temperature, or
location. The unit provides a repeatable absolute total field magnetic reading, traceable to the
National Bureau of Standards. The unit offers new features such as GPS time synchronization,
GPS positions and in-field navigation with a hand held Garmin GPS.
Applications:
The G-857 is ideal for mapping geological structures, for mineral exploration, or magnetic
search for industrial, environmental or archaeological targets. The optional gradiometer
attachment gives greater resolution and noise immunity for conducting searches in high
cultural noise environments. Simple operation, large digital data storage capability, and the
inclusion of MagMap2000 data transfer and editing software provides a system well suited
for both teaching and survey applications.
The automated cycling option with long sensor cable and external power connection allows
the G-857 to be used as a base station instrument for the measurement of diurnal changes in
the Earths magnetic field. Diurnal correction data is then downloaded using MagMap2000
and can be applied to either land or airborne magnetometer data.
MagMap2000 allows rapid download of the data from the G-857 to a PC. Data can be
diurnally corrected, profile lines and X, Y or GPS positions displayed and edited, noisy
readings filtered and QC plots of profiles, 2D contour plots made. Data can be exported to
Surfer, Geosoft or MagPick (high end processing software free from Geometrics) for more
sophisticated final maps and analysis including Google Earth overlay maps. The software
requires Windows XP, 7, 8 or 8.1 operating system.
The G-857, based on the popular G-856AX, provides excellent performance and is the lowest
priced professional magnetometer system available. With simple operation, user friendly
download/editing software, and format read for available commercial contouring programs,
the G-857 represents a complete magnetic surveying package generating high quality data for
budget conscious users.
