Schonstedt GA-72Cd

The Schonstedt GA-72Cd is a well known magnetic locator used across the used equipment market for finding ferrous objects such as manhole covers, valve boxes, and buried survey markers. This particular unit is being sold used and has been functionally tested to confirm that its audio and visual indicators respond properly to magnetic targets. Schonstedt built its reputation on simple, dependable designs and this model continues that tradition with an easy learning curve for new operators. Surveyors, utility locators, and construction crews use this type of instrument daily to confirm the position of iron property pins, cast iron valve covers, and other ferrous infrastructure hidden below grade. Unlike electromagnetic pipe locators that trace live signals on conductors, this magnetic locator detects the metal itself, making it a complementary tool rather than a direct replacement for RF locating equipment. Its lightweight frame and straightforward controls make it popular with survey crews who need fast, reliable pinpointing in the field. This used unit shows normal cosmetic wear from outdoor fieldwork but operates within expected specifications. It is a good fit for survey companies, utility locating contractors, and civil engineering firms that need a dependable magnetic locator without the cost of new equipment.
