A search for GUT magnetic monopoles has been conducted using the Soudan i-,.. 2 nucleon decay detector. This detector is a fine-grained tracking calorimeter. Monopole candidates were selected on the basis of significantly higher ionization .. than throughgoin9 cosmic ray muons. Preliminary results, using data taken over " approzimately one year with no monopoles observed, correspond to a flux limit of 2.4 10-14cm-28r-ls-1 over a velocity range of 10-3 3 < 0.95.
