Written by Beata KACZMAREK, Ewelina WERNER

The aim of this article is to present possibility of use of a metal detector, homing objects by generating a magnetic field, to identify unknown mass graves from the time World War I and World War II.
Mass graves are usually located in difficult, usually wooded area. Therefore they are inaccessible to the majority of archaeological methods such as aerial photography. Detecting the mass graves using a detector in this case is the best solution, because inside the graves are often found metal knives, buttons from uniforms, badges, or other such items.
For the prospecting research will be helpful VLF model which after appropriate setting detects a specific kind of metal.
