Now that is an amusing comment based on SFRX's his

Knowing there is a metal that is not iron is good but knowing if it is a beer can or a gold coin is much more valuable.
I have to keep reminding myself SFRX isn't looking for a wreck, which is what real salvors do. Tinkerbell 2.0 supposedly doesn't even find wrecks per the USPTO application.
Real salvors who actually find wrecks know long before they get there and after they have secured salvage rights what went down with the ship. They know the potential. But again, they work on wrecks, not on an "alleged" highly scattered debris field.

Part of why the SeaSearcher is about to fundamentally change this industry and cross over into other industries.
That's a pipe dream. SFRX doesn't even claim the metal detector that was back ordered is their proprietary IP.
Real salvors will still do their leg work. They'll continue to search for wrecks via mag surveys, high resolution cameras, or other applications to find wrecks, not highly scattered debris fields that lead nowhere. That's where the beer cans are.
They know if they find 40 spikes it means nothing and is actually pretty useless since the spikes could have come from anywhere or any ship.
They know the FIRST order of business is to confirm it's the wreck they think it is. They may figure out it's not the wreck they want and move on.
They aren't wandering on the ocean looking for a chest of gold coins here or there. Wrecks are much easier to find and confirm.
So Tinkerbell 2.0 doesn't find wrecks, it just searches known wreck sites, right?
So why is it on Melbourne?
The Beaver said it's been on Melbourne since at least last November. It was supposedly working then. In fact, it supposedly worked per Ware in July 2019.
Works how?
