Schonstedt Magnetic Locator Comparison: GA-92XTd and Maggie

Schonstedt’s founder, Erick O. Schonstedt, actually began his career in the aerospace industry, designing magnetometers for satellites. Eventually, his work turned to more ground-based products when the GA-52 Magnetic Locator, became one of the most popular instruments for surveyors during the 1970s. For six decades, Schonstedt has continued to be a leader in underground locating.

What’s the Difference between the Schonstedt GA-92XTd and the Maggie Magnetic Locators?

Magnetic Locators are specifically designed to locate metals such as iron and steel while ignoring other metals. Whether you need the ultra-portability of the Schonstedt GA-92XTd or the extra sensitivity and precision of the Schonstedt Maggie, you will get the same HeliFlux® sensors, modular construction, and high-performance components professionals have come to expect from Schonstedt.
