Autonomous metal detecting rover

We cover
You discover

A metal detecting robot built to cover more ground, so you have more chances to make the find

Why SandWorm

More ground

More chances

SandWorm handles systematic coverage while the detectorist stays focused on signals, judgement and the moment of discovery.

Grid scanning

Autonomous routes reduce repeated passes and help cover a designated area systematically.

All-terrain mobility

mobility is being prepared for mixed terrain field tests across sand, dirt and grass.

Coin detection depth

SandWorm can detect a coin buried 20 cm underground, helping you find metal targets beneath the surface. Actual detection depth varies with soil conditions, target material, and environmental interference.
