Started the hunt with the last of the junky areas with my Deep Tech Gold. Pulled out the broken spoon/fork hanle at the top. Next to it is a brass buckle with some silver plating on it. Found the four brass harmonica reed pieces, as well as the back of a coat button and an 1869 Shield nickle. The Deep Tech also pulled out the two small pistol balls.

I decided to hunt the perimeter areas outside of the town proper with my Blissoot with a 15" coil for maximum coverage. The area are pretty free of trash. Found eight Civil War bullets and the heavy brass round item with all the holes. No ideaa what it was used for.

Really enjoyed hunting the ghost town site since last Fall. Being only three miles from my house was a plus. Found 86 Civil War bullets and eight pre 1900 coins. Wnen it gets plowed next Fall, the junkey areas will be all new again.

Thanks for lookin' and keep on diggin'

At another site, I started out with the 11" as well...and could only get about 30 feet from an electic cattle fence...I could actually hear the fence pulsating through the detector. I went and swapped out coils...detector once again settled down but I still couldn't get close to the fence.

I didn't set the world on fire with finds...but the sites I went to have been worked over and over by me and other people over the years. I went there to give the Smart a try in some of the heavy iron laden spots. I dug a few small pieces of brass...grommets and such. I was just curious as to what coil most people were using. I think I'm gonna stick with the elliptical one, although the 11" does go deeper.]]> Daniel Tn DeepTech Vista Users ForumSat, 27 Apr 2013 16:53:12 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?89,1901334,1901334#msg-1901334 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?89,1901334,1901334#msg-1901334(This message does not contain any text.)

Spent some time hunting a favorite spot. A Missouri battlefield on private property with land owners permission. Hunted three specific locations within the confines of the battle. An open area where fired relics have been found. Both bullets and shell frags. A known picket post,. And where the town hotel and stage coach stop were located, shortly after the war.

I used a Blisstool with a 15" coil for the field hunt, which netted me five shot bullets, a harness buckle with the faint outline of a heart in the center, and a wadded up piece of flat lead. The lead may be part of a sabot. There looks to be faint rifling marks. It was a full 10" deep and the Blisstool banged the signal out like it was on top of the ground.

The next spot was a junkey picket post I've previously found several drop bullets and pieces of cavalry spur. I only found a .54 cal. minie and a .69 cal. round ball. I was using a Deep Tech Vista Gold with it's extremely fast recovery speed to see if I could rescue a few more relics from the hard hit area.

Finally, I moved to where the hotel and stage socah stop wereonce located. It's now a feed lot for horses. The Deep Tech sounded like a machine gun with all the nails and junk it was searching through. Found lots of copper, tin and brass trash in the mix. Was able to pull the cavalry spur piece as well as an old Shield nickle,. It was in pretty good shape with a readable date of 1868. I've hunted this area several times before, but wanted to see what the Deep Tech would do. It worked well. This was the fourth Shield nickle recovered from the site, as well as an 1876 Quarter found there in the '80s.

Thanks for looking. Always fun to dig some more relics from hard hit areas.

Back to my Civil War era ghost town. Trying to get all I can before the field gets planted. Found some interesting items, besides the eight Civil War bullets. A nice paper weight/log splitter was rescued. But, the best item was an 1829 dime. Unfortunately, it's in rough shape. The edges have been filed down on both sides to give it a knife edge effect all around. Still, a nice find. Especially, since the "Official Red Book" of coin values shows it to have what is called a "curl base 2". My edition is a 2005 book, so I don't know the current value, but my book says one in "good" condition is worth $4000. Granted, mine is far from "good", but still fun to find a really rare coin. Hard to take a picture to show it. I needed a magnifying glass to really determine what it was.Coin was picked out of a iron infested area where a brick church stood and was burned down during the war. My Deep Tech Vista Gold with it's fast response was able to pull it out. Am really liking this detector for junky sites.

Got to spend some quality, although muddy time at my Civil War era ghost tonw site with my Deep Tech Vista Gold. Hunting where the brick church was burned during the war by southern partisans. Lots of nails. Was able to use the quick response of the Deep Tech to pull some goodies out of some pretty trashy areas, as well as around the outside edges. Found a complete, but roasted uniform button. Also found a nice solid, complete cuff button and a back off another cuff button. Most interesting find was the three ringer with the top cut off. A fun day diggin' some lead and brass.

Thanks for lookin'

The size of the new smaller elliptical coil is 5.5" X 8".
The stock elliptical coil is 7.5" x 11.5" and performs in iron trash better than coils much smaller than it is. We expect the same performance metrics from the new smaller elliptical coil. It should compete very well against a 5" round sized coil.

Need to know if it's for a GOLD, SMART or RELIC.

The price of the smaller elliptical coil will be $169 shipped and we will be taking pre-paid orders later this week.

Headed back to my Civil War ear ghost town yesterday with one goal in mind. Ever since I started relic hunting in 1979 I've keept a running total of how many Civil War bullets I've dug. Going into yesterday's hunt my total stood at 8,999. I needed one more to hit the nine thousand mark. First bullet dug was the .36 cal. pistol ball in the center of the picture. The ten dug bullets from yesterday was the best one day total from the town site. I've moved into a more "open" area free of junk between the hotel and the chruch that was burned during the war. They are seperated by about four hundred yards. Deep Tech Vista Gold worked great, as always.

I'm not setting a goal of ten thousand bullets because I'm 68 years old, with back problems that will eventually need surgery, but I'm putting it off as long as I can. Besides, the days of digging forty or fifty bullets in a day are pretty much gone, unless I can find an large, unhunted camp, which is rather doubtful. Especially, here in MIssouri. I'm happy I was able to hit the nine thousand mark.

Thanks for lookin' and keep on diggin'
