Description
How the GeoSeeker Mini Works
- Select your desired measurement depth.
- Choose the number of scan points.
- Follow the graphical instructions on the touchscreen display.
- Move electrodes as instructed.
- Review the final 2D underground scan image.
The system uses picture-based guidance, making it easy to operate even without technical language barriers.


What Can the GeoSeeker Mini Detect?
This geoelectric water detector can locate:
- Underground water deposits
- Water-bearing gravel layers
- Aquifers
- Cavities and voids
- Backfilled wells
- Subsurface anomalies
It is ideal for:
- Agricultural land
- Borehole planning
- Rural property development
- Geotechnical engineering surveys
Designed for Professional Use
The GeoSeeker Mini is suitable for:
- Farmers
- Land developers
- Drilling contractors
- Survey professionals
- Water exploration specialists
If you want to reduce uncertainty before drilling, this system provides measurable ground data rather than guesswork.

GeoSeeker Mini Questions, Answered
How much is the OKM GeoSeeker Mini?
£9,350. It is a geoelectrical surveying instrument rather than a detector, and the comparison that matters is against the cost of a dry borehole rather than against metal detectors.
How does it find water?
It measures soil resistivity using the Schlumberger procedure, a standard geoelectrical method, and converts the readings into a 2D image of the subsurface. Water bearing ground conducts differently from dry rock, and that difference is what shows up.
How deep does it survey?
Up to 100 metres. That is a geological depth rather than an object depth, because you are mapping strata rather than detecting a thing. It is not comparable to a metal detector’s depth figure.
What is the actual procedure?
Select your measurement depth, choose the number of scan points, then follow the graphical instructions on the touchscreen and move the electrodes as directed. The guidance is picture based, so language is not a barrier. Review the 2D image at the end.
What can it identify?
Fresh water and drinking water sources, water bearing gravel layers, aquifers, groundwater levels, cavities and voids, backfilled wells and other subsurface anomalies. The backfilled well case matters more than people expect on older land.
How long does a survey take?
A minimum of 16 seconds per scan point, so the total depends entirely on how many points you choose. Operating time is roughly 6 to 8 hours per charge, which covers a full survey day.
What are the specifications?
Control unit 410 by 340 by 180mm at 4.5kg, 11 to 13V DC at 30W, a 3.5 inch resistive touchscreen at 480 by 320, an 80MHz Cortex M3 with 4GB data memory, a 16 bit ADC sampling at 4,096Hz, an effective differential range of minus to plus 1,400mV and a 320V at 0.4A output.
What else is in the kit?
Power cable drums measuring 360 by 290 by 200mm at 3.6kg with 100 metres of cable, ten markers and the electrodes. It is a survey kit to carry to site, not a handheld instrument. See our water detectors page for the alternatives.
