HumFinder: First success in screening old recordings?
« on: February 24, 2010, 08:21:05 AM »
Hi all,

after Timo came out with his new HumFinder, I downloaded and installed it and started to play with it to see how it works and how I can use it to screen my old recordings.

Three days (nights) ago, I was looking at the recordings of the kayak I found last year and had the search radius accidentally set to 1000 metres when I hit the search button. Next this showed up:


First I thought I had chosen the wrong folder, but after seeing that it was the right folder, I realized that I had two different areas scanned and apparently had found something that caught my interest at the time. So I called up Martin's HumViewer and looked at the recordings there. Same story, but the images and especially the length and the depths were different.







So I reviewed the recordings of the new "Kayak" couple of times and got the feeling that I missed something last year. Looking at the different recordings, I'm still not sure what exactly it is what I missed, but it's interesting enough to go for a dive as soon as the boat is back on the water  ;D.

Here's another shot. It's in 2D and SI and it shows what I call a "secondary" or "halo" echo in the 2D section. It's hard to see on the picture uploaded here, but in the actual 2D view on the HumViewer there is an arch IN THE GROUND. I observed such arches in the other recordings of the different wrecks I discovered last year. For me this is a good hint and indicator that it's not just a seaweed roll or a bunch of fishes hanging around near the ground.


Now I just have to wait  to get the boat ready and then I'll be out to find out.
Come on weather: Warm up!!!!

@Timo: Thanks a megaton! Looks like you made my day  ;).

Regards / Harry

Hi Harry,
I'm very interested in what you're going to find as that target looks awfully like one that's been puzzling me and everyone else who's looked at it so far. (It's the one below the 40 foot cruiser in the picture below)

Right Hendrik,
but I can't start painting the boat as long as the air temperature is below 15°C  :'(. Maybe I can get out with a friend of mine who is a fisherman and has his boat in all winter.

Thanks Harry,

it's nice to see that HumFinder can be of some help in going through old SI recordings and finding interesting objects.
I wouldn't worry about getting there fast - it will stay there and wait for you. There is a saying...
Here in Finland it looks like it will be around midsummer till I get my boat on water, at least when watching more and more snow coming. Maybe little bit earlier though, usually the ice on lakes here breaks up around start of May.

Bedtime...

Regards,

Timo
