Hi all,
My cousin has, for some six years now, a small business at the Black Sea, of hydrographyc carting and bottom profiling with gps positioning. Recently he invested all his money in some new equipment (gps and profiling). He now faces a job in which he has to do the bottom profiling on the continental platform of the Black Sea, with depths of up to 150ft (50meter). Some people remember of a metal pipe, about 6inch (10cm) diameter, buried some 3-6 ft (1-2 meters) in sand. His new and expensive profiling equipment might miss such a small diameter of the pipe.
My question and cry for help is this: Is there a such underwater metal detection device that can be trailed on the bottom, at a speed of max 3 knots (3 nautical miles/hour)? Are there any suggestion on how to detect, while running and doing the profiling jobs, that bloody pipe? (which might not even exists!).
And when you think that in my rookie engineer years I did exactly what he is doing (on a DECCA HYFIX system), working for a company, at a low salary....I wish I was back in those days...
