Abstract

A detector for calculating a depth of a buried conductor is provided. The detector includes a plurality of antennas for detecting an electromagnetic field radiated by the conductor and one or more signal processors for calculating the depth of the conductor based on the field detected by the antennas. The calculated depth of the conductor is displayed when one or more predetermined criteria are satisfied.
