Valens Legacy Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Glad to hear about it being found thanks for the update! Just so glad that no Kangaroo didn't pick it up and run through a major city with it. That would have been very bad for the kangaroo. He would have been put on the no fly list and branded a terrorist for sure. Just kidding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geof_junk Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 ? It was detected (hear that Minelab) at least 2 meters off the road from a vehicle travelling at 67 Km/hour from the road. I want the gold version of their detector. ? Note 4 of the capsules can sit on a 10¢ Aus or a $¼ US 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB_Amateur Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I'll be interested reading the results of the investigation. Normally (as in 'always') this would be kept inside a heavy container -- lead lined box or bowling ball size container of iron, etc.. What the hell, was it just sitting on the flatbed of a truck, bouncing around? Maybe it was in someone's pocket and they stopped to take a leak.... Now people can argue whether the 6000 or 7000 would be better at finding it. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
