The challenge lies in locating these submerged relics, often hidden beneath layers of sediment and water. One of the most effective methods for finding shipwrecks is magnetometry, a technique that uses magnetic fields to detect metallic objects underwater. In this blog post, we will explore how magnetometry works, its applications in shipwreck recovery, and some notable examples of its success.]]></description><link>https://www.marineacquisitions.com/post/magnetometry-in-shipwreck-recovery-how-it-works</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1a88ab99-9f16-4866-9f87-a6927fc5f723</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2026 00:40:13 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Carson Brown</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
