Ancient Copper Coin Treasure Discovered in Hamadan with the Rover UC
One of our dedicated OKM customers recently shared an extraordinary discovery from Hamadan, a historically rich region in West Iran. Using the compact yet powerful Rover UC 3D ground scanner, he identified and recovered an impressive collection of ancient copper coins buried at a depth of 4 meters. The discovery clearly demonstrates how advanced 3D scanning technology can reveal hidden treasures that traditional detectors would easily overlook.
A Region Where History Lies Deep Beneath the Surface
Hamadan is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, home to countless archaeological layers dating back thousands of years. As the capital of the ancient Median Empire and later an important center of Persian civilization, the area is known for its buried relics, ancient settlements and historic trade routes. Discoveries like this coin hoard align perfectly with the city’s long-standing reputation as a cradle of early cultures and craftsmanship.
High-Precision Scanning with the Rover UC
The treasure hunter employed multiple 3D scans to map the subsurface structure before excavation. The Rover UC — a detector renowned for its concealability, portability and deep performance — provided clear indications of an anomaly at significant depth. Once the signals aligned consistently across several scans, excavation began, ultimately leading to the impressive collection of copper coins.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep can the Rover UC detect objects?
The Rover UC can detect objects down to 20 m (65 ft) deep depending on their size, composition and soil conditions. In this case, it successfully located a coin hoard at 4 meters depth.
Why is Hamadan known for archaeological treasures?
Hamadan has a history that spans ancient empires, trade routes and cultural development. These historical layers make the region exceptionally rich in buried artifacts.
What makes the Rover UC suitable for deep finds?
The device uses advanced 3D ground scanning technology, allowing users to visualize subsurface anomalies before excavation. This reduces guesswork and increases detection accuracy.
Can the Rover UC identify the type of metal underground?
While it can detect anomalies and estimate characteristics based on scan data, precise metal identification typically requires excavation and inspection.
Is the Rover UC beginner-friendly?
Yes. Its intuitive design and smartphone integration make it accessible for beginners, while its depth and performance satisfy experienced detectorists as well.
