Everyday Objects with History

Crockery, jugs, and vessels may seem ordinary, but they carry a deep historical and cultural significance. Since the Neolithic period, ceramic vessels have accompanied humans in life and death — used for daily tasks and placed in graves as valuable possessions. These objects tell us how vital such tools were for survival and ritual in early societies.

"Collecting" in the Past and Today

A treasure hunter in Iran discovered with the OKM eXp 6000 numerous bronze vases, plates, and coins buried at a depth of 9 m (30 ft). In total, 30 different artifacts were uncovered — likely everyday utensils of a family from over 2000 years ago. These finds reveal a glimpse into domestic life: cooking, food storage, and daily routines that connect us directly to our ancestors.

Art on Jugs and Vases

The paintings and reliefs on ancient jars and vases represent an extraordinary artistic legacy. In Greek vase art, intricate depictions of mythology, daily life, and rituals bring ancient stories to life. Reliefs, carved directly into the vessels, give the same visual storytelling effect — turning each piece into a masterpiece of form and function.

Master Craftsmanship

Each ancient vessel is a testimony to its maker. Long before machinery, artisans shaped and decorated their works entirely by hand. Every piece was unique, marked by human touch, skill, and imperfection — qualities that make these artifacts irreplaceable cultural treasures.

The Power of the OKM eXp 6000

The OKM eXp 6000 is not just a metal detector — it’s a professional 3D ground scanner capable of identifying objects up to 25 m (82 ft) below ground. With its precise data visualization, explorers can locate voids, tunnels, and metallic artifacts before even breaking ground. Its success depends not only on the advanced technology but also on the skill of the detectorist interpreting the readings.

Production of Antique Metal Vessels

During the Bronze Age, craftsmen developed two main methods for shaping metal: casting and forging. Northern European cultures favored casting using reusable molds to produce multiple bronze vessels efficiently. For ornate objects, artisans employed the lost wax process, which allowed the creation of intricate one-of-a-kind designs.

Forging, or “driving,” involved shaping metal sheets with hammers, chisels, and punches. This process, often done cold, required immense skill and strength, demonstrating the physical and artistic mastery of ancient metalworkers.
