• n  a meter to compare strengths of magnetic fields

• The magnetometer, an offspring of instruments carried on space probes to measure magnetic fields, is carried like a divining rod over a suspected archaeological site.
• Exclusive rights to the magnetometer's civilian use give Goddio his edge over the competition.
• Called a proton magnetometer, the gadget is based on a principle of nuclear physics discovered only a few years ago.
