    Rain makes for a great weekend

    It is has been dry and hard to dig for months around where I live. We finally got a mega-soaker rain that lasted the bulk of two days and the ground is wonderful to dig in again. Anyhow, I took advantage of soft soil and took the Deus out at least an hour everyday this weekend with...

    Down Deep

    I got out for about 90 minutes tonight. I decided to re-scan a lawn that l had previously covered in the hope that I would catch some easy masked targets. No such luck. Instead of hitting masked targets, the Deus went deep. I recovered an 8" deep 1919 wheat. And a few minutes later I pulled...

    A Wee Canadian nickle

    We finally got a good rain which allowed me to return to a private lawn. It was so, so, so nice to finally dig in moist soil! I was swinging the Deus and starting to get pretty worn down - I was just starting hour number of 3 of my hunt and the sun was starting to get warm. I got a rock solid...

    Yet another school-yard medallion

    Last night I was trying to plan a good spot to metal detect and started thinking about sites that have areas that might not get hit very often for one reason another. I recalled a little trashy, noisy (intersection plus a railroad track) green area that I thought might produce. Well, it...

    Another fine week with the XP Deus

    I found a raincover for my Deus on one of the big auction sites: It has a tag at the bottom that basically velcros shut. It hasn't really prevented me from seeing the display or making changes, so I am fairly pleased with it. I am really wanting it to keep dirt off the remote and to keep...

    Deus hunt - Smokin' Token

    We're back to hot and dry and I am hard pressed to find an area with new targets, old targets, and SHADE. But I had a site in mind that has had a school since the turn of the century - it's seen a lot of detecting activity, but sees daily use so I figured that I'd have plenty of clad targets...

    Digging the Deus

    I got out today after tweaking the Deus up with my first custom program. I took the Deus to an old church yard that I have hunted over and over, and I go here because it is really unlikely that even conductive trash items can be found. After about 25 minutes, I eyeballed a new locking-blade...

    Golden getting it done

    I just got a Fisher F5 and tonight a took it to an elementary school for my 3rd hunt with it. Well, it would have been my 3rd hunt. But the EMI from the AC and wireless in the buildings basically rendered the F5 unusable. So I went back to the van and grabbed my Golden. I was in a digging...

    Almost got skunked...

    Last Saturday was stacked against me. I got up early to go hunt only to find slate grey skies and a steady rain. I waited a few hours for the rain to disperse only to discover that I had a flat tire. I got the car dropped off for some tire repairs and my hunting buddy took us west, out of the...

    Deleon says, "Forget the stinking clad...."

    I've got an hour long lunch break that usually lets me hunt 40-45 minutes. For the second day, I took the Deleon equipped with a cleansweep coil out onto a make-shift non-official soccer field. I managed .36 the previous day, but was nibbling around the edges. Today I took the Deleon out...

    Deleon is a keeper

    I took the Deleon out this last weekend. I hit $5.81 in clad in 3.5 hours with the cleansweep. 15 of the coins recovered were nickels. That is a new personal record for me - I've never found that many nickels in a single hunt over the span of 3 decades. I also dug up 3 rings, including a...

    Golden umax /|\ 25% cost paid down in under 2 months

    I got a new Golden umax for $425 on December 22nd and today I rolled past the 25% mark on paying it down (over $107 now). I am only counting my clad recoveries for this, though I will chip in gold jewelry as turbo money if I ever find any. I hope to get it paid down entirely by the end of...

    Golden comes home

    My Golden umax came home from repair with a nice message from Rusty Henry. The pot in the sensitivity dial had died and was replaced. Today I put the 8" brown round on and went to a little park that had always seemed a little trashy. I was hoping that it was trashy enough to discourage other...

    18khz Cibola / Vaquero?

    I was just digging around on Tesoro's line of detectors, both past and present, and came across a mod to increase the operating frequency from a shop in the UK: http://www.pentechnic.co.uk/the-mod-shop/trident-i-ii-frequency-modification/prod_56.html They also have a mod to heighten the audio...

    Repair returns question

    My Golden rather suddenly developed a problem. When I turn it on and dial-up the sensitivity, it turns off right around 5 on the dial. It takes 2-5 minutes of turning the dial and double checking to make sure it is on, but a bump to sensitivity and it could shut off with no warning...
