Summary We present the results of using modern nuclear precession magnetometers based on the Processor Overhauser Sensor overhead processor POS sensor for the study of primary and loose gold and diamond deposits in various regions of Russia and in the Republic of Angola. The developed method of the pedestrian magnetic survey with the definition of coordinates using a GPS navigation receiver allows you to effectively isolate the field from lowcontrast magnetic objects against the background of more extensive and intensive anomalies of the geological environment. A ground magnetic survey is effective in detailing and sorting out the anomalies detected using aeromagnetic survey when searching for primary and loose diamond deposits. Micromagnetic anomalies detected as a result of detailed shooting in continuous mode make it possible to localize heterogeneities of the geological structure in the upper part of the section.We present the results of using modern nuclear precession magnetometers based on the Processor Overhauser Sensor for the study of ore and placer gold and diamond deposits in various regions of Russia and in Angola.
