Searching for meteorites in Antarctica

Scientists will search for rare meteorites in Antarctica. The British expedition hopes to find at least a few. Their exploration will take six weeks. They've gone to the region of permafrost and cold equipped with a special metal detector. Specifically, they're looking for meteorites called Siderites. They usually contain 20 percent iron and nickel.

Search for Holocaust victims

Investigators from the Institute of National Memory (IPN) have announced the discovery of another massgrave near the site of the Treblinka I extermination camp during World War II. Scientists from other institutions were also invited to join the research. It is not yet clear how many of the dead are in the pit, which measures roughly 3.4 by 4.5 metres.

First water of the year

The first "swimming" of this year's Equinox.

Report from Test Drive an Equinox in Chabarovice

The event took place in the camp in Chabařovice, where we have a searchers' meeting every year in May. With a small exception of the polygon location. Since the pond is drained every year, I could prepare the polygon at the bottom of the pond. The objectives were the same as at previous "Test Drive an Equinox" events, for the opportunity to compare in different soil conditions.

Report from testing Equinoxes in Hluk and on Proboštské Lakes

As you may have noticed, the "Test Drive an Equinox" event has been going on every weekend for a few weeks now. For those who didn't make it to the event, or it was too far for them, we would like to bring you a short report and also a video from the last event on Proboštské jezere. At the end of the article you will find recommended settings from both LP and Derek Mc Lennan.

Italy 2018 with Equinox 800

As has become a tradition, this year will be no exception. Again you will find some articles about searching by the sea. This year it will be a bit more extensive than previous years thanks to new equipment. I have also divided the article into several parts. Anyway, you have a lot to look forward to, because there will be more than enough information, so read carefully

Greetings to all treasure hunters and past

It's been a month since I've been using the new Zero II 30 and I wanted to share my beginnings and some small experiences that probably won't be appreciated by the greasers.

Unique Roman game board from the 4th century found in Poprad has no parallel in Europe

Twelve years ago, the tomb of a high-ranking Germanic nobleman was discovered by chance and contained valuable artefacts. Among them, an absolutely unique board game from around 375 AD, which even after ten years of research has no comparison with any other.

Public collection helped save Viking's most valuable treasure, finder gets 57 million

A book could be written about Derek McLennan and his "Galloway" treasure. Three years ago, this Scottish good-natured sympathiser and great promoter of detector detecting found the so-called "Galloway". "Galloway Treasure"; the largest and most valuable silver and gold Viking set ever found in the islands. The deadline for raising funds to purchase the treasure is at the beginning of November. And so, as well as the great feeling of discovering national history, Derek can also be warmed by the reward that will land in his account in the next few days...
