DEEPMAX X5/X6
The LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 series detectors are the most sensitive and stable metal detecting devices of its kind presently available. They were developed for professional search and locating applications, that's why this metal detectors are often recognised as representing some of the highest quality and newest developments in professional metal detecting equipment.
Some advantages of this detectors:
• highly sensitive to all kinds of metal
• stable operation on mineralised ground or salt water
• reliable / simple operation
• very easy and effective detection of large areas
• rugged, refined mechanical construction
• automatic adaptation of different coil sizes to the electronics
• small unwanted metal objects can either be identified or eliminated
• single or dual induction balanced or differential coil designs
• ferrous / non-ferrous identification*
• using of computer searching systems with LC Display
• delay settings for cancelling out the indicating of small metal objects
• ground settings for balancing the signals from magnetic surface
• Multi sensor detection**.
• built-in data logger and additional Hard- and Software**.
* This function works only with induction balanced coils or DD coils.
** This functions are available with DeepMAX X6.
The LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 series detectors are updated models of LORENZ DEEPMAX X3metal detector in the field of Pulse GBS metal detectors. The LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 is the result of many years of research and development and especially in the new improved metal classifications and automatic ground balancing facilities. Quality electronics and very special designed electronic - circuitry produce benefits in terms of easy of use as well as sensitivity.
The LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 is a detector designed to be used with both, small or large coils. Large coils offer extreme depth capabilities for big metal objects because of the strong and deep going magnetic field produced. Small coils are preferably used while searching for small objects like single coins or gold nuggets.


The Pulse GBS (Pulse Ground Balancing System) is specialy suitable for searching at depth. The performance of this electronic device is almost unaffected by salt water, most types of mineralised grounds or temperature changes. Specially designed electronics cancel out signals from the ground. The LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 is therefore a reliable tool to locate metal objects at great depths even under the worst environmental conditions. A new improved circuit design suppresses interference from power lines and a power pulse technique produces very accurate signals to obtain very high detection depths. The detector has also a function of an advanced depth of detecting of non-ferrous objects' and a function of metal objects locating, using two different target identifications.
The Pulse GBS works very good because of time delay reading between receiving and tramsmitting phases. High transmitting speed is the main advantage which allows to use the detector with very large coils. Therefore the high frequency for ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be achieved.
The LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 was worked out to provide a high quality search with high sensitivity, stable working and simple operation. A very simple operation namely is guaranteed by a specially developed LC Display and a minimum amount of controls.
Time delay reading function gives some information on the probable kind of metal. Three different ranges of metal objects can be set: small non-ferrous, ferrous and big non-ferrous objects. The LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 gives a visual indication of each object on the LC Display. Time delay reading producing a number between 000 and 099 helps to classify metal objects. The target classification circuitry is only in some cases affected by the size of a metal object and therefore identifies small coins as well as large pieces of metal. It is possible to eliminate some unwanted objects like nails and foils or to identify them as being small unwanted objects while searching for bigger and deeper objects.
The LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 also offers a sophisticated and refined ferrous / non- ferrous target analysis which works more stable on difficult soils in conjunction with the 26cm or 35cm double D search coil. The Detector also emits an audible sound by way of either a speaker or headphones. Detection depths achieved (in air tests) are almost the same in many types of soils and therefore considerably higher than those possible with standard pulse induction or sinewave VLF - TR Detectors.
The LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 is designed for world-wide operation; wide range of its fuctions helps to achieve all the aims the customers. Any organization, which needs an accurate detection of metal objects, will take a great advantage of working with LORENZ DEEPMAX X5/X6 (especially in conjunction with GPS and data logger, realized in LORENZ DEEPMAX X6).

To generate colour, image, surface or contour maps with the LORENZ DEEPMAX X6, additional Hard- and Software is necessary. A very sophisticated data logger function of the DEEPMAX X6 metal detector together with an USB 6 channel data logger will take simultaneously six channels of data when you go over the ground and stores the information into memory when this function is selected.
After recording or collecting field data the Surfer Software easily and accurately transforms the data stored on the USB-Stick into colour, contour, surface, image or vector maps on a computer in minutes. An additional Scripter Software will therefore automatically generate twelve maps with each field. Six are twodimensional and six three-dimensional. The operator can therefore choose between different gridding and mapping methods.
The new Datalogger Hard- and Software developed by Lorenz Detecting Systems is first of all easy- to use, very accurately working and affordable. Only four controls of the DEEPMAX X6 will make data acquisition a pleasure for both beginners and professionals like engineers, geologists, archaeologists, scientists and many more. The users will investigate mainly for waste disposal, meteorites, unexploded ordnance, or lost aircrafts.
No non- sense functions will confuse the operator. Six different maps will be generated simultaneously when covering the ground with multiple tracks. Each scan/ map is different depending on the electronic analysis method and therefore will not only give different sensitivity ranges but can be the key to the probable kind of metal buried in the ground. There is clearly a difference in the signature metal objects and ground conditions will give for example. Areas of disturbances in the scans will directly lead to the different metals or ground signals and therefore can be classified in some ways. The operator therefore can use the different scans to his advantage in order to choose between the targets of most interest only by comparing the different scans/ maps. Three delay channels will produce maps with different sensitivity to small and large metal objects. Two ground channels will enable the operator to generate maps with no ground response but Z dimensions and directions for different decay curves of the eddy currents produced in a metal object. In addition the target classification channel will display the delay of the eddy currents of each signal with a certain intensity to give further information on the probable kind of metal in the ground. No matter how strong the ground is mineralised or how many different metals are located in close proximity, this new device will ensure very good results even with difficult surrounding conditions.
Faults produced by the operator or the environmental conditions like overload signals from nearby metal objects for example will be immediately seen when comparing the six channels. In addition GPS data is also recorded from a supplied GPS module to support the user with a compass function or to find the different fields after recording again.
For the professional users additional Hard- and Software will be available for storing positioning data from GPS and several DEEPMAX X6 detectors.
Although the detector can be used with smaller search heads the data logger function is mainly developed for larger metal objects being at least 6cm x 6cm in size. Therefore frames of 1m x 1m or even bigger should be in use to achieve best results.

![]() |
This coil can be fixed on different coils: cable coil 8 m perimeter: 0,67 x 0,67m - 1 x 1m - 1 x 2m - 2 x 2m cable coil 12 m perimeter: 1 x 1m - 1,5 x 1,5m - 3 x 3m. These cable coils can be used with three or four different frame coils. To work with them fix the coil with one, two or three windings to PVC frame with tape for example. Large areas can be detected with such coils during short period of time. Therefore they locate big deep metal objects quickly, cancelling out the detection of small objects near the surface. |
