    My recent finds... and settings.

    Figured I could knock off 2 birds with one post. Here are some things I've found over the past week with my Deus. Each item came from a separate hunt. The '43D Merc & the sterling earring came from the very trashy park by my house. That Merc was the first silver coin I was able to pull out of...

    Level of ground mineralization?

    I've got Andy's book, read several forums regularly, and look for other articles & videos regarding the Deus. Often there is advice about how to tweak settings based on ground that is "lightly" mineralized vs. "heavily mineralized", but I do not recall seeing definitions of those. And what I...

    Sometimes you need to take a step back...

    Several days ago, I was testing out an accessory for another metal detector I own (had gotten the Ron's meter for my Sov GT, and had the 5" sun ray coil on it). So I found a clear spot in my front yard, threw down a quarter, and started swinging. The meter worked like a charm. Out of curiosity...

    Help needed: distinguishing iron wraparound vs adjacent iron

    The subject pretty much says it all. When I am hunting, I often find myself slowing down and spending a huge amount of time with non-surface signals that give partial signals, or 1 way, or broken, or bouncy, etc. I typically hunt in 12 kHz and check signals with 4 kHz. With all of the recent...

    What LiPo connectors to use? Solder-less options?

    Looking to do the LiPo mod for my Sov GT using an alkaline battery pack. I've read through a couple of them numerous times, and there is little explicit discussion about the connectors used. JST and Deans are the 2 mentioned. There appear to be many more options (depending on what the battery is...

    Woodchiphustler or any other button experts?

    Hey there -- Was out metal detecting today along a creek (here in Austin, TX), and found my first button. Found it somewhere between 4" - 6" deep, and if memory serves, it rang up right around a copper penny or dime. It is a Scovill Mfg button, has a lined field, a rope border, and star in the...

    Forget Oak Island, I broke the curse of Nickel Park

    I hunt mostly city parks where I live in Texas. It's usually a nice collection of pull tabs, beavertails, bottle caps (I know they're caps before I dig 'em, but I need to get rid of them to get to deeper targets), and the occasional odds and ends. Oh, and clad. I've had some decent days of...

    A nickel for my thoughts

    Well, I finally did it. Or should I say, the Deus did it. In one of the 2 parks I hunt the most, I've found several wheat pennies. The other day I found a 1942 nickel and my first silver war nickel, a 1943. I was pretty stoked about that since it was my first silver coin out of this park. Today...

    Got my 11" coil today!

    Thought I'd post since I know there's lots of general interest and excitement about the new coil. Looks great, and comes with a lower shaft to make switching out a breeze (don't forget to register the new coil in the controller!). I only had about 45 minutes with it. Spent most of it in my...

    Setting pinpoint correctly...

    Hey Andy -- In the 11" coil thread there was a question, and I had made a comment regarding pinpointing with the 9" coil. To summarize for others, I said that if there are objects close together (under the coil) that I can't always get a very good pinpoint. I don't have that issue frequently...

    Deep target questions...

    Several members have mentioned that deep targets often result in a value on the ID that is off from the expected value. 1) Is there a bias on which way is the ID off? Does it tend to show a higher ID or lower ID for a deep target? Or is that not consistent? 2) How do you guys interpret a A)...

    Bought an XP Deus water antenna!

    If you search around you'll see that there is a premade antenna kit for sale. And this weekend is the last weekend at a special introductory price. I bought mine a little over a week ago, and this thing rocks! Could you make it yourself? Of course. But this is finished very nicely, and I didn't...

    Recommendations and what to expect on my first hunts in New England?

    Hi knowledgeable forum members-- I've been MD'ing for less than a year. I live in Austin, TX, and that is where I have all of my MD experience (well, and FL beaches, too). I grew up in CT but have never gone MDing in that area. I'm going back east to visit family in less than a month. I'll be...

    Hey Andy, now that v3 has been posted...

    How do we order the book? Thanks, Rich
