    First couple of hunts in Colorado!

    Finally got a chance to hunt after getting to CO about 8 days ago. The weather is much drier and cooler than what I'm used to, and also the change in elevation was something I underestimated... Today's hunt yielded two Wheats that are in remarkable shape compared to how they usually come out of...

    Summer in the City...a few good finds

    Made it out before it became unbearable and found a few good keepers before wrapping it up around noon. Got a few minutes' worth of video, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoNZOJyHAQ0 Hoping and praying for cooler and wetter weather, but that seems far off this time of year...

    Last hunt in June...

    Got back to the old neighborhood last night with my partner - we found a newly vacated rental built in 1947 that I've always wanted to hunt before moving out of that part of town last year. This was a promising corner lot that didn't fail to impress My partner's first target was a Wheat - I...

    Good assortment of coins for today - some interesting spills!

    Got up bright and early this morning to a cool and clear sky - the oppressive heat that had been around all last week got blown out, at least temporarily! First stop this morning was a recently vacated rental built in 1926 that was exactly one block from where I hunted 2 weeks ago. The grass was...

    2 Fresh Rentals = Handful of old coins!

    Started out early this morning and hunted 2 different rentals houses until about noon. First rental to hunt was built in 1926 and at this house there were a few coin spills - details are in the Deus forum! It was a 5-silver day before 9:00 this morning! At the second rental I hit a 1952...

    4 khz hunt yields a wee .8g silver ring! :cool:

    Made it into the city tonight for a couple of hours at the "demoed" homesite that was built on in 1912 and recently razed. Unfortunately we weren't the first people who had hunted this place, as the lack of targets made that clear almost from the start. There were the usual large iron suspects...

    Some like it hot...:surrender:

    I had doubts about getting out to hunt today - needed a front end alignment and rotate + balance tires on my vehicle first before any type of recreation was to be had! Got the car back around 11:30 and it was around 92*F already with a 100*F index...and only light sporadic winds. The ideal place...

    Some days you are the pigeon - other days you are the statue!

    ...today I apparently was the statue! I got an early jump on the heat and humidity this morning starting at 6:15 to a new-to-me rental on the DODGY (as in check out all the shell casings in the trash pic!) side of town, only about 4 blocks away from last week's Monday hunt. This house was built...

    Silver and (9999) gold!

    Posted details of today's hunt in the Deus forum... I believe the 9999 stamp indicates 99.99% pure 24K gold - but why would this be used for jewelry? Indicated a 76-77 on my detector which is dime/silver dime range...any ideas?

    Clad took a backseat today :tongue:

    Got out early this morning to an older rental property that I called about last week, but never heard a a response. I called her again this morning and got started around 7:45. It was already a sticky day - but fortunately the lot I was to hunt first was completely shaded by a couple of large...

    Monday hunt...

    Made it out today with Dad and Gerald again not far from where we hunted last week - we started out finding a lot of clad, but after about 60 minutes and only one Wheat between the three of us we decided to find some older dirt. Drove a couple blocks away, saw a rental, and called the number...

    11" coil v3.2 Air Test Results...then and now!

    For those interested, I have provided air test data from when I first purchased the Deus to earlier this week when I reloaded the software. Test methods and settings are explained in footnotes of the documents. I didn't run the Deus "Wide Open" to get maximum depth for every coin, rather I set...

    Reloaded v3.2 again with noticeable improvements!

    I reloaded v3.2 last Sunday night and hunted with it on Monday - but I didn't do any air testing until last night to determine if any responses had improved. When I did this last October, the 12 khz frequency was a clear winner in sensitivity and maximum depth on coin-sized targets, with 8 khz...

    Unforgettable Memorial Day hunt using TX = 1

    Out of boredom last night I reloaded v3.2 into my Deus for today's hunt, and didn't really expect much difference in performance. After I "updated" the software last night I went out to my test garden where I have a couple of 8-9" coins buried to see if the same programs would hit any...

    Merc streak continues!

    Got out to a new-to-me area of the fairgrounds last night and hunted for about 3 hours. Recently jimtn has had some success at this part with a few Barber dimes and a 2-cent piece, so naturally I had to give it a go with the Deus. It started off kind of slow, as it usually does here, but after...

    The Bus Stopped Here...and another Rental House!

    Made it out today to beat the Monday blues - it was almost a perfect day for detecting; it rained most of the night last night and the ground was easy to work with. Yesterday I was in Knoxville and decided to hunt for a couple of hours but the ground there was dry and rocky, ended up finding a...

    Mother's Day Chicago hunt!

    Took a little weekend trip to the Windy City to visit some friends who live in a 1900s-1910s era neighborhood. I had never detected here before but the potential for so many old coins was too great to NOT take the Deus! We drove up on Sat night and didn't arrive until 5:00am the next morning...

    Clad blasting with a couple of surprises!

    Since the fairgrounds have slowed down a little from the last couple hunts, I decided to make a busy night of it and set out to find some gold at the old apt complex. Visited a couple of folks I know who still live there, and spent about three hours madly stabbing in search of the yellow metal...

    Back to Silver Street...

    Didn't have any properties "lined up" for a hunt this morning, so I went back to the old neighborhood and found a "Marty rental" that I'd hunted last year. Might have pulled a couple Rosies from this place before - but back then I hunted with stricter notching and was in 4 kHz most of the time...

    A Couple of night hunts from last week

    The weather is a bout perfect for evening fairgrounds hunts recently - with temps in the upper 50s to upper 60s. I got out alone last Tuesday night and started off finding some clad, but I was looking for a new hotspot. It took about two hours to come across any signs of "older dirt", and when I...
