Hi,
I'm curious about one thing.
It came to my attention that in some countries treasures were sometimes buried and marked as graves
in order to make the place sacred and avoid looting (and also to mark the place of the treasure in an easy way).
 People would simply avoid digging up the place if they knew or suspected it was a grave.
The treasure was usually buried in a whole and and covered with flat stone (perhaps 2-5 cm thick) as usual ancient grave.

My question is: is there any metal detector currently available in the market that could penetrate such a flat stone and detect metal beneath such a stone decribed above? Could for instance an E-TRAC machine be capable of that?

Hi Ludvig
I would think graves would be the first thing to be examined for treasure. Looters have been digging up graves for ever. So I don't think peole would stay away because of a grave.

2-5 cm would be a piece of cake for most detectors. If course the treasure would probably be much deeper and they a 2 box detector or other manor would work..
