Status of current situation:
I am presently back to get the right equipment and logistics after we have laid out a plan of recovery from the site we found.
We have detected according to our experience in beeping patterns from Mineoros, what seems to be a ‘man made treasure’ .
It’s located inside a cave which is partialy submersed. Detectors used at the time included a MP10 (it was not used), 3 FG80s and a PDC 210. One of our team members introduced a Rangertell Examiner. All detectors clearly marked the location. The FG80s started to mark from about 900 feet. The Examiner, from three times that, since it’s some sort of dowsing rod with programable frequencies. Nice tool but unfortunately could not be employed near and inside the cave due to the conditions met. The directional ionic ones (FG80) proved to be the right tool.
During the expedition the PDC210 got smashed and turned into pieces. This fact caused an agravation on my partner’s ulcer problem. He was the owner of that PDC, by the way.
We set the detectors from several angles to determine the origin of signal through triangulation. Later I dove in the river to reach the almost subaquatic cave with a clearance of only 2 ½ feet to the cave’s ceiling. I took the FG there floating it over a platform and although not an easy task to maneuver acess, I could pinpoint the exact location. It’s inside a wall and not at the ground. This confirmed what we thought when positioning the detectors at distance. Thanks to the infrared sensor.
We also had to block manage 2 of 3 - 40 feet waterfalls in the area. We considered a subaquatic recovery, but water visibility is terrible, no more than a few inches ahead even when a diving flash light was employed by me due to heavy sediments in the river. My diving equipment proved almost useless there.
The site is really remote, no telephone signals. The owner of the land is a farmer who lives there, away from the closest city, which has only one street and lies at 12 miles away. We negociated with him and now have all his support.
Due to the conditions faced and to the strategy to employ, we decided to abort the expedition in order to actually start the recovery operation which now demands money and equipment. We intend to return there a week after the end of the year hollydays.
We plan to raise a special configuration contention barricade using sand bags and pump the water out of the location using several motorised pumps and rechanel the water by heavy pipes. We will also need to set a crane system on top of the hill to lower the heavy sandbags there. Location is full of huge savage beetles (hundreds of them), spiders, etc. Typical rain forrest. Hard work under low conditions. How’s that compared to the ‘THunters who make virtual expeditions sitting in front of computers all day’, eh?
Altough there is a lot more to be said, I’m not allowed to disclose more info.
The main point is the experience I gained using the FG80 and now knowing its exact reaction and capability quite well. It's a highly trustable tool indeed..
PS. Upon my return, talking to Damasio on the phone, I came to know about Mr. Crespin dos Santos Nunes, a brazilian who detected gold nuggets with the FG80 recently.
It’s on their site now.

Hey, nice to be back . But won’t have much time for talking here. Family , equipment acquisition and lots of work to do demand my time.
As for pictures of findings, it will have to wait till january…
Meanwhile have fun with those.
