Home MadeTreasure Hunting Robot

A man in Wiltshire, UK has converted a toy truck into a remote controlled metal detector to help him find lost treasures in the countryside.

His invention was inspired by stories of techniques to find old land mines and a bad back that prevents him from sweeping the ground with a manual metal detector.

He has worked to perfect his device for 7 years and estimates that he has spent 2000 British pounds (US $3800).
It includes a metal detector and camera to send images back to the control unit.

The robot is not only easier to use but more effective than handheld devices.

He says he has found hundreds of old coins and relics. One of his finds, a Medieval Pilgrims badge, is now in a museum.

  1. The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not
    fail me just as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, but
    I truly thought you would probably have something useful to talk about.
    All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you can fix if you were
    not too busy searching for attention. savings account payday loans
