Remote Anomaly Detector (RAD)

We have recently returned to Az. from Fla. where we tested the newest magnetometer technology developed by my partner. This technology employs only geophysical detecting methods. It was first designed to detect ore bodies from a distance, which it did extremely well.  It will only detect anomalies that are associated with iron minerals which create a magnetic field. We were able to detect ore veins from as far away as 1 1/2 miles, however; we were not able to determine if any of the deposits contained noble metals.
Since both of us were professional divers, we thought that maybe the units would detect shipwrecks from a distance as well. We employed two professional divers and boat captains to set up an offshore test near Cape Canaveral, Fl. We had a forty foot dive boat as a platform, and a clear, calm day.
Everyone on the boat was completely dumbfounded when we were able to detect a WW2 Liberty Ship sunk in 66 feet of water from four (4) miles away!!! The ship had been dynamited and chained, and there were large pieces scattered over the bottom. The unit detected a tank quite easily that was a little distance from the main wreckage.
On our way back to Port Canaveral, we were able to detect several of the launch towers on the Cape from about three (3) miles off, and we picked up two submarines that were sitting at their berths from about 1/2 mile away.
One of the boat captains gave us a general location of two old Spanish shipwrecks that had sunk near shore off New Smyrna Beach and Eau Gallie. We found both wrecks within 5 min. of searching.
We have another test planned for later this summer in Fl. when an Oceanographer, and a Fl. archaeologist will be present for observation and documentation.
If anyone has knowledge of any viable unknown shipwrecks outside of state waters around Fl., we would be happy to discuss a search trip.

Interested in any new information on this technology. Is this technology available, if so, where??
