What is this??


Last month I was in the Dominican Republic. While out in the field one day this helicopter flew over with this strange looking apparatus. I have no idea what this is, although this region is known for it's mining activities, so me and my Dominican co-workers guess that it might be somekind of prospecting equipment. If anyone knows, or has an educated guess, your comments are welcome.

I know I'm late posting, but I'm wondering if this is an antennae of a magnetometer (not sure if that is the right name or technology) used to map minerals in the soil from the air.
