The concept behind the magnetometer is simple: By measuring magnetic waves, it can "see" where the human eye cannot. Governments and corporations frequently turn to him to find everything from lost treasures to dangerous land mines. Since then, he's become one of the world's leading experts on the instrument and is the author of a primer, Applications Manual for Portable Magnetometers. He loves a challenging search-and, using a device called a magnetometer, Breiner says he can find almost anything buried beneath the earth's surface.īreiner, '59, MS '62, PhD '67, encountered his first magnetometer at Varian Associates, where he worked in 1962 while researching his master's project in geophysics.
Sheldon Breiner even discovered the ancient Greek colony of Sybaris under layers of dirt and rubble. He has found avalanche victims in Colorado, located a 400-year-old sunken Spanish ship off the California coast and pinpointed the world's largest diamond deposit in Australia.
