The GA-72Cd Locator detects the magnetic field of iron and steel objects. It provides audio detection signals that peak in frequency when the locator’s tip is held directly over the target. The GA-72Cd has the option of nulling or peaking.
Only two Controls! Designed for one-hand operations, the On/Off-Sensitivity and Volume controls are located on the underside of the cover. This provides easy access, protects the knobs and contributes to their overall ruggedness and dependability.

One of the most physically rugged Magnetic Locators, constructed to work in the most severe climates and operating environments, the GA-72Cd has established itself over the last 25 years as the go to” Magnetic Locators for fast, accurate detection.
Industry-leading detection technology, plus simple rotary controls, provide precise adjustment for audio and sensitivity, allowing better discrimination between buried objects.
For safe locating, they have a power detection “warble”, which indicates the presence of nearby live power conductors.
The GA-72Cd has more benefits than the GA-52Cx, having a display that indicates polarity change detection – an essential aid to centering buried object orientation, Peak or Null signal indication and a choice of audio output, either volume or frequency based.
Most Rugged
Designed to withstand the rigors of daily on-site usage and a wide range of environmental conditions
Audio & Visual Output
3-digit LCD readout
Choice of Two Audio Modes: Peak or Null response
Battery & Sensitivity Indicators
Signal Strength and Polarity Indications
Data-log output
Analog output signal for input to a data logger. The signal varies in proportion to signal strength allows recording of object profiles for training
4 Levels of Sensitivity
Our HeliFlux sensors provide high sensitivity allowing Schonstedt products to detect products down to a depth of 5.5m.
No response to aluminum, brass, or copper
Eliminates false locates
HeliFlux™ sensors
Schonstedt’s unique, innovative HeliFlux magnetic field sensors provide much higher sensitivity than the standard ring core sensors that most of the competition uses, giving users of Schonstedt products a clear advantage when searching for deeply buried objects and when wanting to pinpoint the exact shape of utilities
Modular construction; high performance components
Schonstedt’s unique, innovative HeliFlux magnetic field sensors provide much higher sensitivity than the standard ring core sensors that most of the competition uses, giving users of Schonstedt products a clear advantage when searching for deeply buried objects and when wanting to pinpoint the exact shape of utilities
Hard case
Protects the locator from knocks and scrapes when not in use and stored in equipment vans or trucks
7-year warranty
Users of Schonstedt products can be confident in the low total cost of ownership of their purchases because they are supported by a 7 year warranty. Some competitors offer 2 or more, but most only provide 1-year coverage
