Metal Detector “Side scan sonars are one of the most effective tools for underwater searches because they create a detailed picture of what’s on the bottom. The printout “removes the water” giving a clear pic- ture of the bottom.

SSS-100/600K combines the best fea- tures of both systems.

Each of their side scan sonars produce a 17” wide high resolution printout to give you a detailed picture unmatched by other low cost side scan systems.” 1953 County St., E.
