The Sykesville copper-iron district is centrally located in the Piedmont upland of Maryland. Extending through the northeastern half of the district is the Monroe and Beasman prospect, where magnetite-quartz veins occur in steeply dipping faults or shear zones. To find the locations and configurations of the veins, traverses parallel and perpendicular to the strike of known localities of magnetite have been made using the proton procession magnetometer. A magnetic anomaly map with profiles will be developed and interpreted using the dipole system method and known geology of the area. Preliminary results suggest that the veins are discontinuous parallel to strike and dip toward the southeast.
