Some customers from the kurdish part of Iran have found this ancient figure made of copper and gold. The finder informed us that this figure (showing 2 goats) originates from the Median Empire is about 2200 years old.

    I hope you didn't pay to much, I'm a little worried about the look of this.  Do you have better photo's?

    I am going to Turkey at the beginning of October and hopefully will be able to find and locate some interesting artifacts and gold while there.  I have all my equipment ready and will be using Ground Resistivity, Long Range and an OKM Rover C.

    That is an interesting piece of artwork.

    Gosh...

    Crusader, isn't there someone you could go out with who has one of those OKM machines ?
    I sure would like to have enough confidence in one to drop the big bucks, but it is a lot...

    I bought a LRL for fun...  and it IS fun...

    Just couldn't afford OKM prices for fun, though.

    Good luck to you
    You've done exceptional work returning wonderful things to the present !

    Wow you are truly clueless.  At 4.6ft that is shallow.  There was most likely other items there also.  So HiiiQ get a clue.  I have found aluminum cans with a Rover C at over 6 ft.]

    If i dug down six foot and found a beer can i think i'd leave the machine in the hole, especially if the can was empty Cheesy

    ROFLMAO !!!  The only thing is that an aluminum can is still a non-ferrous metal.  And it actually was a root beer can.

    Not buying.

    If I had a nickel for every time I'd said "If I had a nickel...", well, let's just think about what I've been doing and know that I will.
