Hi guys,

I was out this morning for a quick dive with my new Ebinger UW 722C PI detector and I had a few very very deep signals. To be honest they where so deep I couldn't dig them as I was diving on my own down 120/130 feet (I know it's bad :nono:). Diving configuration Rebreather Nitrox 32/68 gas mix with 50% Oxygen poni for spare & deco.

I was digging what appears to be "clother signals" for this detector and look what I've uncovered: an eyeball partial wine Amphora which appears to be from -30 BC -> +30 Period.

It looks it is originating from south spain / portugal. Feel free to ask questions :-)
I have shot with my Gopro..will push the video on my Youtub channel when I'll have time.But I have to arrange an other dive with mates to help me retrieving the metal objects I've located but was unable to uncover.

Thanks stavr!

I have planned to make a dive on this site during the next 2 weeks. Sea conditions were difficult during the last months (lot of wind, strong under currents & swell) and due to the important depth I had no opportunity to go back.

Be sure I'll bring more photos shortly.

Thanks

So are you still using the Ebinger? I was just looking at a UWEX and decided to search for some users on T-net.
