Bartington MS2D Field Search Loop
![]() |
This loop is designed for rapid assessment of the concentration of
ferrimagnetic minerals in the top 100 mm (approximately) of the land
surface. It is used in studies of slope processes and is a powerful tool
in archaeological prospecting, as human habitation leads to an irreversible
magnetic enhancement of the soil, mainly as a result of burning.
The MS2D loop has been used in conjunction with handle extension tubes, to trace the movement of artificially enhanced river bedload, to depths of 5 meters. |
