Which Discovery Land Tone Proton Magnetometer Is The One For Me?
There are two versions of Land Tone Magnetometers available today. While both of them are excellent at detecting iron relics, wreck sites, strong boxes, meteorites and pipes of any shape or size, there are distinct differences you should be aware of in order to find the one that’s perfect for you.
Discovery Tone Magnetometer 1:

The Discovery Tone Magnetometer 1 weighs only 12 pounds and is very easy to take from a vehicle to a site. It can easily locate iron targets anywhere from a few feet to 75 feet away.
The Discovery Tone Magnetometer 1 allows you to receive sampling rates of the Gamma Field every 2.5, 5 or 10 seconds. The higher sampling cycle you chose, the faster the magnetometer will sample the Gamma field, responding at a faster rate to nearby targets and allowing you to walk faster. Conversely, a slower sampling cycle will require that you walk slower, as it gathersdata from the Gamma field slower it also saves battery life and allows you a longer overall runtime.
Comparatively speaking, the Discovery Tone Magnetometer 1’s microprocessor is somewhat slower than the Tone Magnetometer 1A Fast. However, this only affects the audio tone response, making it slightly less seamless in output. Sensitivity is exactly the same, yet it lacks the alarm feature that the 1A Fast version has.
Choose the standard Magnetometer 1 when a longer run time is not required or if you want all the power of the 1A Fast version but see no reason for the special audio alarm mode because you are not concerned with setting different Gamma alert sensitivities and plan on digging all your targets.
Discovery Tone Magnetometer 1A Fast:

The Discovery Tone Magnetometer 1A Fast weighs 17 pounds, and comes with a hard-shell, ABS plastic carrying case for easy transportation. It boasts a more accurate target detection capability and a longer run time between charges than the standard version – anywhere from 8 to 12 hours depending on the sampling rate you set.
The 1A Fast allows you to receive sampling rates of the Gamma field every 1.5, 3 or 6 seconds due to an upgraded microprocessor. Faster sampling rates will affect your runtime and battery life but utilizing a faster cycle can also allow you to move through an area very quickly while the audio response to target detection is significantly more seamless.
We believe that one of the best features of the Discovery Tone Magnetometer 1A Fast is the special audio target alarm that has adjustable sensitivity of 3, 6 or 9 Gammas. This feature allows you to select what size or intensity will set off the alarm alert in your headphones, independent of the Gamma field, indicating the size of a target. Searching then becomes easier since you won’t have to continuously monitor the Gamma field readout to sense a change in the Gamma value, meaning a possible target is in range!
Choose the 1A Fast version for more accurate target detection capability and a longer run time between charges. Other benefits of this upgraded model come in handy while you’re in the field – Setting the audio alarm levels for size and intensity of targets will be invaluable if you need to save time or cover a larger area.
