Treasure hunting in the Eastern Mediterranean with Rover UC
Usually, the finder of the presented treasure travels with his metal detector Rover UC in the south of Syria - in a region, in which numerous gold treasures from the time of the Ottoman Empire are suspected. The lightweight and inconspicuous metal detector Rover UC also allows treasure hunting in rough terrain, since only a smartphone is required for the first evaluation of the measured data. Without much preparation, the metal detector is immediately ready-to-use and does not only detect metals, but also distinguish between ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals. Instead of encountering the hoped-for gold deposits, the Rover UC detected a cavity while treasure hunting in the Middle East: A hidden burial chamber at 2 m depth was found in an ancient temple ruin. The treasure hunter was astonished as his discovery revealed valuable objects that are not made of gold. With the 3D ground scan function, his Rover UC tracked down the underground vault and led the treasure hunter to a successful discovery. The smartphone with the Rover UC App finally became a light source to illuminate the treasure find.
Antique glass mosaic bowl - an outstanding find
The discovered glass mosaic bowl with a diameter of 14.5 cm and a height of 4.5 cm weighs about 145 g, according to the treasure hunter. Such detailed information on a treasure find reach OKM rather rarely, the more we are grateful for sharing this impressive discovery. At first sight, the bowl appears to be very detailed, but rather inconspicuous in color.
On closer inspection, the artfully arranged glass stones stand out, revealing their full splendour only above a light source: A beautiful, green shining mosaic showing fish around a spiral-shaped centre. The discoverer of this treasure find describes the art object as a Phoenician glass mosaic bowl
