How Gem Detector Works

Cutting-edge technology that transforms gem exploration through advanced sensor fusion and intelligent algorithms

Water level detection

  • Understanding Resistivity:

    • Different materials (rock, soil, water) conduct electricity differently. High resistivity → Dry soil, rock. Low resistivity → Water-saturated zones.

  • Collecting Data:

    • Use an electrical resistivity meter to send current underground. Measure how much resistance the ground offers.

  • Interpreting Resistivity Profiles:

    • Shallow depths with low resistivity → Possible surface water or wet soil. Deeper low-resistivity layers → Indicate a groundwater table.

  • Estimating Water Depth:

    • Identify the depth at which resistivity drops significantly. Cross-check with borehole data if available for accuracy.

  • Final Output:

    • Depth of water is estimated by correlating low-resistivity zones with known geological data.

Gem detection

  • Understanding Magnetic Signatures

    • Certain gemstones (e.g., magnetite, pyrrhotite) have magnetic properties. Surrounding rocks may also create unique magnetic anomalies.

  • Collecting Magnetic Data

    • Use a magnetometer to measure variations in Earth's magnetic field. Conduct surveys in a grid pattern to map magnetic intensity.

  • Identifying Anomalies

    • High magnetic readings → Presence of iron-rich minerals (possible gem indicators). Low magnetic areas → Non-magnetic host rocks. Sharp variations may indicate faults or mineral deposits where gems form.

  • Determining Gem Location

    • Compare magnetic anomalies with geological maps. Correlate with resistivity and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for accuracy. Drill test samples in high anomaly zones to confirm gem presence.
