It happened in 1938 during the works in Khujut Rab. Just outside Baghdad. Here, German archaeologist Wilhelm Konig recovered a five-inch-long (13cm) clay vessel containing a copper cylinder that encased an iron wire. The vessel showed signs of corrosion and initial tests indicated the presence of an acidic agent. Probably wine or wine vinegar.

A video has been added When I started testing the EuroSabre II in November, I assumed that I would have a test of this detector completed sometime in late January. But this year's long winter has changed my plans quite a bit, and I've also found a great liking for the detector, so I've started testing a number of details that I don't usually follow in the detector tests on Treasure Hunter.

Since 25.4.2010 we have started a complete test of the Minelab E-Trac metal detector on the treasure hunter. The length of the test will again be at least 3 months, so in the meantime you can at least download the product evaluation sheet from Minelab testers in PDF format.

Princess Eleonora Amalie von Schwarzenberg was born on 20 June 1682 in Mělník as the thirteenth and last child of Ferdinand August Lobkowitz, a Baroque nobleman.
