Welcome aboard Todd, good to have you join us all here.

Hello all,

I too am new here. Looks like a good group. My name's Kyle Kingman. I am a sr. geophysicist and ocean explorer. After 6+ yrs as a private contractor, I joined Aqua Survey Inc. to help develop their geophysical survey methods and equipment. We now have some of the most sensitive all-metal detection equipment in the world (land or sea), as well as traditional cesium mags (G882s), high end side scan sonars, subbottom profilers, and multibeam. Most of our projects lately have been governmental UXO related, but the gear works just as well for finding shiny things. In addition to our underwater high power EM61 (time domain pulse induction electromagnetic detection) systems, we have underwater positioning systems which puts the diver in control. The diver has an underwater monitor which is supplied with military grade USBL (ultra short base line) acoustic positioning information as well as target location, so the diver sees where they are and where the target is in real time, regardless of depth. With this, we achieve sub-meter target reacquisition accuracy. When our EM data is combined with Mag data, we have full control over ferrous/non-ferrous discrimination making clutter rejection fairly straightforward. For target reacquisition we also have an EM-tipped water dredge which turns your traditional water dredge or air lift into a powerful metal detector / digging tool. This data is both diver displayed and sent topside. This is one of my favorite tools because it allows us to quickly and carefully dig the target while telling you precisely where it is at all times. For bombs this is great for obvious reasons. For bullion...this is pure fun.
I look forward to getting to you know all and I trust some of us have already crossed paths!

All the best,

Kyle Kingman
