The treasure hunter confirmed that the Bionic X4 provided the decisive signal that led him to the discovery. Without this advanced long-range system, covering such a large area effectively would have been nearly impossible. The Bionic X4’s YES-signal gave him the confidence to narrow down the field and begin a targeted excavation.

Shiraz – A Landscape Shaped by History and Hidden Wealth

Shiraz, located at the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, stands 1500 m (4900 ft) above sea level and is one of Iran’s most culturally influential cities. Known as the “Garden of Iran” thanks to its mild climate and flourishing landscapes, the region has played a major role in Persian history. Archaeological evidence traces habitation back to at least 2000 BC, as recorded on ancient Elamite clay tablets.

The area has been home to Persian dynasties and even housed royal treasuries. With such a dense historical timeline, it is no surprise that treasure finds in the Shiraz region are far from rare. Buried hoards, ancient currencies and valuable artifacts have been discovered here for centuries, continuing to attract explorers and historians alike.

Precision Detection with the Bionic X4

The Bionic X4 is designed for long-range treasure hunting, especially across wide-open terrains where close-range scanning is impractical. The treasure hunter began his search from approximately 400 meters (1312 ft) away. A clear YES signal on the display indicated a promising gold target direction. By applying the cross bearing technique — scanning the area from multiple angles — he gradually triangulated the exact location. Once the position was confirmed, excavation began, ultimately revealing the buried hoard.

The Treasure: Gold and Silver Dirhams

The recovered treasure consists of several well-preserved gold dirhams and silver dirhams. The dirham, historically used as both a currency and unit of weight, originates from the Greek drachma. Since dirhams were introduced only from the 7th century onward, this find can be dated to the early Islamic era or later. The excellent preservation of the coins suggests they were intentionally hidden and protected — likely part of a personal or royal treasury.

Why This Find Matters to Modern Treasure Hunters

This discovery demonstrates how effective long-range detection can be when combined with strategic fieldwork. For customers operating in expansive territories or historical landscapes, the Bionic X4 offers a decisive advantage: it scans across considerable distances, locates gold-bearing areas and significantly reduces the time spent searching. When used correctly, it becomes a precision tool capable of uncovering remarkable treasures like the one found near Shiraz.
