Schonstedt Mag-6

This used Schonstedt Mag-6 magnetic locator is a well known tool for locating buried ferrous objects such as manhole covers, valve boxes, survey markers, and iron pipe. Unlike active line tracers, the Mag-6 detects magnetic fields naturally present in ferrous metal, making it especially useful for locating utility markers when no traceable signal wire is present. It remains a favorite among surveyors and utility locators for its simplicity and reliability. The Mag-6 is prized for its lightweight design and long battery life, allowing technicians to cover large survey areas efficiently. Its audio and visual indicators alert the operator when ferrous metal is detected, and its sensitivity settings can be adjusted depending on the depth and size of the target object. This makes it a practical companion tool alongside electronic line locators for comprehensive utility mapping work. This pre-owned unit has been tested for proper detection function and is ready for field use. It is well suited for land surveyors, utility locating companies, and public works departments who need a dependable magnetic locator for daily use. Cosmetic wear consistent with outdoor fieldwork should be anticipated.
