    Cold and Snowy Hunt Yields a Variety of Keepers! :thumbup:

    I had most of the day to hunt today, and although it was cold and snowy I soon forgot about the weather after digging the first target - a 7" Indian cent that actually gave a VDI of 62! This was to be the start to a very productive day, but there were definite lulls in the action. All in all I...

    Deus Hits a White Gold Surprise Today...Plus a Few Collector Coins!

    Got out to the park again today after work and concentrated on more deep targets using 4kHz. The first target I came across was faint, but I got a VDI of 95 and it seemed to hold true to that number. Some bottlecaps and cast iron can ID around the mid-90s, but the audio component of the signal...

    Found an Older Curb Strip! :thumbup:

    Yesterday was a nice, warm day around these parts...so I ended up in Pueblo not far from where the original Generous Curb Strip was located. Didn't have a lot of time to hunt, but managed to find another productive curb strip which was holding shallow old coins. First target was a clad dime...

    Tesoro Vaquero with 2 coils and Grey Ghost headphones....$455 shipped!!!

    Selling my Vaquero since there's only room in the stable for one detector - I've found silver and gold with this detector (see previous posts) in the short time I've owned it, and bought it from Tabman earlier this year. It's a lightweight, sensitive, and capable detector that will confidently...

    Last Few Hunts - The Deep and the Shallow Coins!

    The last three hunts with the 9" Deus have been good ones - I've spent time at the local park and over the weekend I went to a nearby town and pulled a few older coins each time. The weekend hunts were on some curb strips that gave up a few shallow silvers - nothing was deeper than 3" for those...

    No April Foolery for This Hunt! :beers:

    We finally had a decent day where the snow wasn't blowing, settled, or otherwise blocking the way to get to a good local spot where older coins seem to congregate! I hunted this park on Monday and found a couple of older Wheats and a nice Type 1 Buffalo nickel, and for the last couple days I've...

    9" Coil Got Down and Dirty Today! :super:

    Had time for a short hunt today - I decided to try out an old park not far from home - the same park that I found so many deep coins late last year. Upon getting there I saw another detectorist using a White's V3i, and casually made my way over to him. Introduced myself and asked how the "hunt"...

    More Rental Houses...9" coil Gets it Done!

    Got back to the old neighborhood a couple days back and started at a bungalow type house built in the 1920s. One of the first coins to come up was a bent 1926 Wheat, but that was to be the only old coin from that house. Went around to the backyard to find three Showbiz tokens stacked in the same...

    9" Deus starts a Silver Streak!

    I drove 1100 miles to Memphis the other day to pick up my daughter for spring break and managed to get three hunts in before having to drive back to Colorado. Drove 15 hours straight through starting at 7pm and met Tabman (Gerald) at one of his productive house sites at about noontime....after...

    Rejoining the ranks with a Deus...very soon!

    I'm jumping back into a full Deus setup as soon as possible - recently came across a 401K I forgot about :laugh: I was just getting going with a couple of the non-motion audio disc modes hunting deep 8-10" coins in a local park where the normal 4K and 12K programs were *just* picking these...

    Superb:whites: White's XLT Spectrum with 9.5" coil - looks brand new!

    Found this gem of a detector locally - it has very little use and works perfectly. I added a "Deep Coins" program in one of the slots and did some air testing but never took it outside - didn't want to scuff the bottom of the coil (see pictures!) Very sharp appearance all around - this detector...

    Silver Sabre II gets it done today!

    My partner and I spent about 5 hours today hunting a couple of old homesites...we found a few coins and mostly trash, but I got a good signal using the Silver Sabre 2 while in Disc 3 that disappeared when I turned Disc to 5. Thought it was going to be another piece of can slaw, but was surprised...

    Picked up an F70...can't wait to get started! :bouncy:

    It's on like Donkey Kong! :clapping: A little warmer weather on tap for us means it's time to see if the winter research will pay off! XP is still working on the new v4 but in the meantime, coins need to be saved...hope to get started later next week. Time for a coin garden too...

    A little help with a Silver Sabre II

    I posted this elsewhere, but I'd like any and all help that I can get! :thumbup: I recently had a coworker loan me a Sabre II to "get comfortable with" before him and I go out hunting on Sunday. This detector has a Sensitivity and Disc knobs, as well as "Retune", "All Metal", and "Disc" toggle...

    Back to familiar soil with the AT Pro!

    Made it back to the Memphis area for the big move and had some time to get out with dad and my uncle for some much-needed detecting! We had noticed a small house was recently bulldozed and dad had wanted to jump on the opportunity...but I wasn't so keen on the place since I noticed a bunch of...

    XP Deus Full Package plus extras $950 :crazy:

    I hate to do it, but it's only a temporary situation... I'm selling my Deus 11" coil, control box, and WS5 phones to help with moving expenses. The WS5 phones are brand-new thanks to Moe at Detector Electronics - I've used them for about 6 hours now. Also included in the package is the...

    Deep silver du jour!

    After the resounding success from the first hunt at the "deep coin park", I went back last night for more...I set up the Deus in the same manner as before, and started hunting in almost the same area as where I left off with the two deep V nickels. It took quite a while to find the first coin...

    Where the deep coins live...

    Last night I decided to head to one of the old parks in the area and hunt deep targets. I had assumed that since this area doesn't receive as much rain the older items wouldn't be as deep, but this turned out to be a wrong assumption! Started off in 4 khz Reactivity 1 Silencer 0 Disc 0 and...

    Found a decent spot...getting ready to say goodbye to the Deus :sadwalk:

    I went back to a park where I've found a few deep Wheats before and tried out the opposite corner using 4 khz and Reactivity 2. First target was jumping from 68-74-66 and wouldn't really settle, but the audio was pretty clean in both directions. "I'm here to dig it all!" I remember thinking...

    Back to the vacant lots tonight...stabbing westward :rolleyes:

    Made it out tonight for about an hour to where I found a couple of Wheats yesterday....first coin was a Wheat less than an inch deep! Again, trash was sparse and there were more coin signals than anything else - always a good sign! The ground in places was like concrete, but other places...
