3D Ground Scanners
3D Ground Scanners:
Leave the topsoil behind
Treasures, valuables and cavities up to 25 meters below the surface come within reach – and you know exactly where to break ground.
Discover a new way to search: With a 3D ground scanner, you scan the area where you suspect structures or buried objects and get a look at what’s underground before you start digging.
Your search no longer ends just a hand’s breadth below the surface: The color-coded 3D visualization shows you the entire field at depths of up to 25 meters at a glance. Determine the position and depth of the detected objects—and decide which ones deserve your attention before you even break ground.
At OKM, we have been developing and manufacturing these instruments for over 25 years in Altenburg, Germany. Every ground scanner is hand-built and individually tested before it leaves our production facility– and sets out toward your next target.

How a 3D Ground Scanner Works
A 3D ground scanner records magnetic field data as you walk systematically across your search area. The device display provides initial visual readouts directly on site during the scan. For the full analysis, the data is transferred to OKM's proprietary Visualizer 3D Studio software, which translates everything into a colour-coded 3D visualisation: every anomaly in the subsurface – whether a metallic object or a cavity – appears as a visible anomaly on your notebook.
More Than Just a Scanner
Most OKM 3D ground scanners combine multiple operating modes in a single device.
In addition to the classic 3D Ground Scan, further functions are available depending on the model:
- ✔ Magnetometer for a quick preliminary check of an area for near-surface iron objects
- ✔ Pinpointer for precise localisation just before breaking ground
- ✔ Mineral Scan for detecting mineral-bearing structures, e.g. during gold prospecting
-
✔ VLF metal detection for classic discrimination between metal types
– including the features you know from conventional metal detectors
With a single OKM detector, you cover what other users need multiple detectors for.

Depth Performance That Other Devices Cannot Match
Classic VLF and PI detectors quickly reach their limits with deeper targets. OKM 3D ground scanners reach up to 25 metres into the subsurface, depending on the model. For those who want to go even deeper, the portfolio is complemented by the Gepard GPR 3D – a ground penetrating radar that achieves depths of up to 40 metres using its own proprietary technology.
With the magnetic field sensors of a 3D ground scanner, you can locate deeply buried coin hoards just as readily as burial chambers, bunkers or tunnel systems – all from the safety of the surface, long before the first spadeful of earth is turned.
