GER Detect Easy Way Smart

The Easy Way Smart is promoted by GER Detect as the smallest device to combine a 3D imaging system with a long-range sensing system. It is aimed at people searching for gold, precious metals, old burials, caves and voids who want something far lighter and simpler than the large multi-system stations. It is a good first step into imaging detectors.

The long-range system is used first to point toward a target area, which the manufacturer rates at 2000 metres of front range and 18 metres of depth. The 3D imaging system then lets the user walk a grid and view the result on a phone or tablet over Bluetooth, which helps show whether a signal looks like a solid object or a cavity. All depth and range figures are the manufacturer's claims.

The handheld unit is only 145.5 mm long and weighs 230 g, powered by an internal 7.56 Wh lithium-ion battery rated for 10 hours. The full kit in its bag weighs about 3.5 kg. It is weatherproof rather than waterproof, carries a two-year warranty and is CE and ISO 9001 certified according to the maker. Its size makes it discreet to carry and quick to set up.
