An OKM 3D ground scanner creates a visual subsurface map showing the shape, size, depth, and position of buried objects — unlike a conventional metal detector that produces an audio signal indicating something is present. Where a metal detector tells you "there is something here," an OKM system tells you what it looks like and whether it is worth excavating. This is the technology used by serious treasure hunters and archaeologists who need more information before committing to a significant excavation. Conventional metal detectors are the right tool for most treasure hunting; OKM systems are for situations requiring subsurface imaging.
