Several weeks ago a treasure hunter in Turkey found some buried artifacts with OKM's pulse induction metal detector Black Hawk.
The iconography of some of the coins is still in good condition and shows the portrait of the former rulers with laurel wreath and aureole. The characteristics are an evidence of the time of the Roman Empire (27 B.C. - 476 A.D.) which extended from the past Roman nation above all Mediterranean provinces.
Starting from September 2009 the 3d metal detectors Rover C and Rover C II are available in a brand new design. There are certain special features integrated which treasure hunters can't miss.
The new designed casing is much smaller and lightweight than the previous models. And the new desert sand color look is much fashionable than any other metal detector. But for all that, the new Rover does have much accurate results on-site and special components which are useful for treasure hunting such as the integrated LED lamps and display background lighting for detecting at night or the doubled recording rate for speed scanning, simplified menu navigation, wireless headphones and more.
Specially the new external battery pack is advantageous. It offers 48 hours non-stop metal detecting and can be placed in any pocket.
Here some impressions of the new Rover detectors:
These nice onion bottles has been detected with the 3d metal detector for treasure hunting eXp 4000. The wine bottles are all dating from 1620 - 1715 and in total about 218 bottles has been dugged out.
"Within the first week of using the eXp 4000 we found over $10000 in bottles and other artifacts along the coast of Republiek Suriname. We found so many bottles with it now we ran out of room where to put them for safe keeping our kitchen cabinets are filled along with our front room." said L. C., the lucky finder of this treasure.
"Thank you again for a wonderful piece of equipment it makes treasure hunting simple."

The small team of hobby treasure hunters are well equipped with different metal detecting instruments. During their research with the Future Series detector Rover C (Future 2003/4) they proceeded in a much professional way. They were using a large checkered plane laying on the ground as orientation for the measure points while scanning with the 3d ground scanner Rover C. In this way they were able to keep exactly the same distance between each measure point which allows to locate the exact position and size of a potential treasure find later.
Triumphant and excited they successfully excavated a wooden box filled with old coins. Next to the chest they additionally digged out the lock of this chest and two old rusty keys. The ancient coins are made of copper. The box gives the impression of beeing self-made.
The copper coins show Cuauhtémoc (also known as Cuauhtemotzin, Guatimozin or Guatemoc) who was an Aztec ruler of the ancient city of Tenochtitlan.
