First Paulinho sets the exact location, then he walks back to set the exact depth. And he complains that the target is deep: 'God, these guys will kill me now!'
First a small size gold earing and later a tiny thread cutter ring.
Alonso is the one with his new standard MD prototype. But this one is special. Only for gold. It won't pick anything else other than gold. No pultabs, iron, trash. How's that Minelab?
To users: Check how the center&deep should be used. Even after the soil removed and inside the hole it still gives the precise depth.
This is one of a series.
Enjoy.
Go get the popcorn right now.

OK - where should we start?
It is easy to dismiss the video as a fake, but this is difficult to prove one way or the other. Of course, any amateur magician could pull off the same stunt without any problem, and you wouldn't even need to be a good magician. Note how the spade-full of sand was conveniently turned upside down as it was removed from the hole. The gold target could very easily have been dropped into the bottom of the hole as this was removed.
On the other hand, if we take the video at face value, then there is the question of how the Mineoro device could detect such a tiny target when it is known that:
- It supposedly uses "ionic fields" to detect longtime buried gold, and that these fields are severely depressed in damp conditions. Here we see in the video that the treasure is buried below the water line.
- It has been repeatedly claimed that the Mineoro devices can only detect large targets, but here (if the video is to be believed) we see a very small target recovered from a great depth.
After watching the video a few times I have to say that it's not very convincing. There also appears to be far too much excitement amongst the participants, as if this whole thing is staged. Why would everyone be so amazed to find the gold pendant if this is such a common everyday occurrence? Perhaps it's just the sea air, of Brazilians are naturally excitable people?
Whatever ... it was quite entertaining.
