Overview

The Rover UC is OKM's smallest ground scanner: a telescopic probe that extends from 670 mm to 1,380 mm, folds down to 67 cm and weighs about 0.5 kg — light enough to travel as a walking pole. Inside the rod sits a single SCMI-15-D sensor taking 240 measurements per second at 15-bit resolution, using OKM's GST / EMSR measurement principle. All three modes run off that one sensor. Magnetometer mode reads the local magnetic field and is the mode most owners use most: it sweeps a plot quickly, shows where iron and ferrous rubbish sit, and lets you clear a field before committing to a slower scan. Pinpointer mode narrows a signal down to a spot and gives basic discrimination between ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metal, as well as cavities. 3D Ground Scan mode walks parallel or zigzag lines with manual or automatic pulse triggering and builds a graphical three-dimensional picture of the scan field. Everything is controlled from the included Android smartwatch, which pairs over Bluetooth 5.2 (approx. 8 m line of sight) and runs the OKM app in 14 languages, Arabic and French among them. You set the scan field, watch the measurement build line by line, and open the finished 3D graphic on the watch itself — no phone or tablet needed in the field. Scans then transfer to the pre-configured Windows notebook supplied in the kit, where Visualizer 3D Studio Standard Edition renders them larger and gives an indication of buried object size and shape. The internal battery charges over USB-C in about three hours and OKM rates operating time at roughly 48 hours, within a working range of −5 °C to +60 °C. On depth, OKM states that customers have found objects down to 20 m (65 ft). That is a manufacturer statement drawn from customer reports rather than a measured specification, and results on any scanner depend entirely on soil, target size and how carefully the scan field is walked — so treat the magnetometer and pinpointer modes as the capabilities you can verify for yourself on day one.

Key Features

Three operating modes from a single SCMI-15-D sensor: 3D Ground Scan (manual or automatic pulse triggering), Magnetometer and Pinpointer
Magnetometer mode maps ferrous rubbish immediately, so you can clear a plot before committing to a slower 3D scan
Pinpointer mode localises a target and gives basic discrimination — ferromagnetic, non-ferromagnetic and cavities
Folds to just 67 cm and weighs about 0.5 kg; telescopic probe adjusts from 670 mm to 1,380 mm
Included Android smartwatch as the control unit — set the scan field, watch it build line by line and read the 3D image on your wrist
OKM app in 14 languages (Arabic, French and Farsi included), day and night themes, plus an undercover screen showing pedometer, heart rate and compass
240 measurements per second at 15-bit resolution, sent over a Bluetooth 5.2 link with approx. 8 m line-of-sight range
About 48 h operating time and USB-C charging in roughly 3 h; pre-configured Windows notebook with Visualizer 3D Studio Standard Edition included for deeper analysis

Frequently asked questions

Is the Rover UC a metal detector or a 3D ground scanner?
Both, from one sensor. Magnetometer and Pinpointer are live modes you use in real time — Magnetometer reads the magnetic field to show iron and ferrous rubbish, Pinpointer narrows a signal to a spot and separates ferromagnetic from non-ferromagnetic metal and flags cavities. 3D Ground Scan is different: you walk a defined field line by line and the app builds a three-dimensional graphic of it. There is no conventional discriminating search-coil circuit, so the Rover UC complements a VLF or pulse-induction detector rather than replacing one.
How deep does the Rover UC actually reach?
OKM's own wording is that customers have found objects down to 20 m (65 ft). That is a manufacturer statement drawn from customer reports, not a measured or independently tested figure, and we pass it on as such rather than presenting it as our own. In practice, depth on any ground scanner depends on soil conductivity and mineralisation, the size and nature of the target, and how carefully you walk the scan field. The fair way to judge the Rover UC is on its magnetometer and pinpointer performance, which you can test yourself with buried targets on day one.
Do I need a phone or a laptop in the field?
No. The included Android smartwatch is the control unit: you choose the mode, set the scan field, follow the measurement line by line and open the finished 3D graphic on the watch itself. The pre-configured Windows notebook with Visualizer 3D Studio Standard Edition is for back at camp or the hotel, where a bigger screen makes it easier to rotate a scan and read object size and shape. The app runs in 14 languages, Arabic and French among them, and needs at least Android 7.1 with Bluetooth 5.2.
Can it tell gold from iron?
Only at a basic level, and only in Pinpointer mode, which separates ferromagnetic metal (iron, steel) from non-ferromagnetic metal (gold, silver, copper, aluminium) and flags cavities. It does not give a numerical target ID or a conductivity scale the way a VLF detector does, so a gold ring and an aluminium can may read the same. Most owners use the Rover UC to find and image anomalies over a wide area, then recover the target with a VLF or pulse-induction detector and a pinpointer probe.
