I measured the voltage between the pins 1 and 8, I found 9.70 V.
Also you can measure at pin1 and pin4, must be again 9.7V. If yes then it is a 555.
I believe that it is an oscillator for an IR Led at front of pcb.
My opinion is that it is not neccesary to connect it.
I believe that the voltage regulator is OK because output is near to 9V. If it was faulty then the out would be near to 18V or zero.
If you try to replace it try to take a photo of full pcb.
I must remember you that Mineoro detects only no iron objects buried many years ago (if weather conditions are good..... (temperature and moisture)), and not fresh gold as rings!!!.

Yes, but if the video is True and not false (for promotion reason... to show how it works) then the ring is inside the sand for many years. A noble objects needs to be buried for many years so to create a big field called by many people (and me) "phenomeno".
You can check the Mineoro with a signal generator. Do you have one????
