Description
Three Professional Search Systems in One Device
The UIG Ground Scanner integrates three direct scanning systems:
1. Live Ground Scan System
This system provides real-time underground scanning to identify:
- Buried gold
- Precious metals
- Hidden treasures
- Underground anomalies
Ideal for structured and systematic scanning.
2. Live Wall Scan System
Designed for scanning walls and vertical structures, this feature helps detect:
- Hidden metals behind walls
- Concealed cavities
- Ancient chambers
- Archaeological structures
This makes it suitable for historical site exploration.
3. 3D Imaging System
The specialised 3D imaging detection system converts underground data into visual graphics.
It allows:
- Structural mapping
- Metal vs void differentiation
- Depth calculation
- Enhanced excavation planning
This transforms the device from a basic metal detector into a professional imaging research station.
30 Metre Depth Capability
The UIG Ground Scanner can detect targets at depths of up to 30 metres underground, depending on soil type and object size.
It also enables:
- Precise depth measurement
- Stable scanning performance
- Consistent detection results
For those comparing professional metal detector options, this depth capability positions it in the advanced category.
Automatic Soil Calibration Technology
The device operates with an automatic system that remains stable across various terrains, including:
- Wet soil
- Mineral-rich ground
- Basalt rocks
- Mineral salts
Its automatic calibration allows it to surpass mineralised rocks, making it suitable for use in different countries and soil conditions.
Built for Portability and Field Use
The UIG Ground Scanner is compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport and operate during extended exploration sessions.

UIG Ground Scanner Questions, Answered
How much is the UIG Ground Scanner?
£3,750 with free UK shipping and a two year warranty. If that is more than the project needs, the Groundtech GR-4 does 3D ground scanning for £1,750, with less depth and no wall scanning.
What are the three systems?
A live ground scan for real time underground scanning, a live wall scan for vertical surfaces, and a 3D imaging system that turns the readings into visual graphics with depth calculation.
What is wall scanning for?
It reads vertical structures rather than the ground, so it finds metal and cavities behind walls. On historical buildings that is how concealed chambers and blocked openings get located without taking anything apart.
How deep does it scan?
Up to 30 metres depending on soil type and target size. The automatic calibration holds stable across wet soil, mineral rich ground, basalt and mineral salts, which is what lets it work across very different countries and conditions.
How heavy is it?
The device is 1,100 grams and the full package 3,900 grams, in a case measuring 335 by 145 by 635 millimetres. It is built to be carried round a site for a full day.
How does it compare with the Groundtech scanners?
The Groundtech GR-4 at £1,750 is the budget route into 3D scanning. This unit reaches considerably deeper at 30 metres, adds wall scanning, and is built to a professional standard with CE and ISO 9001 certification. Whether that is worth £2,000 depends entirely on the work.
What languages does it support?
English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. Made in Germany, CE and ISO 9001 certified, two year warranty.
Do you provide training?
Yes. The wall scanning repays it particularly, because reading a vertical scan is a different skill from reading the ground and most people get it wrong at first. Setup, calibration and a walk through are included.
