    Mother...tell your children

    Not to do what I have done, Pour your coins into one great big pile and wonder where the Injun came from. Yeah that's right, I have been hunting sports fields lately (jewelry hunting at 18KHz for shallow targets). After rinsing the coins I just dump them on a paper towel to dry....Heck its all...

    Out of total curiosity....

    Can someone tell me precisely what this is from? Found in a soccer field, I believe that it is either from a watch band or a bracelet but not like anything I have seen yet. It is well made and came in at the nickel range. Looks like it may have been plated at one time. Thanks, Ran

    Watch the notch

    FYI............. Depending on the set frequency, some users recommend setting notch anywhere from 93+ to 99 to eliminate iron wrap around. That is fine if you are only hunting targets that fall within the standard TID range. However high ID targets (like coins or silver) at fringe depths start...

    Sledding hills.

    This winter was a record snowfall in Michigan. I have a manmade site to search that saw a lot of action. While I'm sure good targets can be found at any portion of the hill, where do you focus your attention if you have little time and a lot of trash to sort through? Top, middle, bottom? I have...

    First walk with the 11" coil

    I drove to a field today that I gridded pretty good this spring. Its full of iron from small nails to large chunks the size of my fist. The first good target signal was the wheat penny. It was iffy but once I got whatever iron was near it, it sang out nicely. I walked the field in a random...

    Deus 3.0 pinpoint behavior question

    Since receiving my new Deus coil replacement for the defective one, I have had a minor issue that may be just inherent in v3.1. Before I contact Detector Electronics I wanted to bounce the question of other members. When switching from Program to the Pinpoint mode, I get a sound like an audio...

    Battery question

    Since I have upgraded to V3.0, I only had to charge the Deus once. I have gone out for about 5 hunts for a total of 10-12hrs. Most of them have been with Tx power at one (shallow jewelry hunting). My battery indicators all register full charge. This is not normal. The coil should show that it's...

    This chick was a big loser!

    Found these today while hunting a soccer park. I am only looking for recent drops with a jewelry program set up for shallow targets. One inch under the turf and came in as can slaw (large target 88-89 on 18KHz). All girls rings. Cross has some dark stones. Everything was held together by the...

    My Vaquero wireless setup

    My XP Deus is in the shop so when I jewelry hunt, I always go back to the Vaquero. Since the Deus, I hate the wired headphones so I went on-line and found the Rapoo H3070 2.4GHz wireless headset for an incredible price of $20. I took a chance and bought a pair because I read that this particular...

    No lag wireless headset

    I did a search and didn't find any other posts about the Rapoo headset. I just picked up a Rapoo H3070 2.4GHz rechargeable wireless headset. The kit comes with a small transmitter, headset, and cables. You can control the volume and the headset is great for summer wear. I took them for a trial...

    Temporary setback

    My Deus has a rare condition and was sent in for repairs Last fall I was hunting a plowed field with very few targets. I found a target that registered very high on the TID scale at 12KHz. I thought I had found a large copper or even silver object. The signal was sweet but as I dug I hit a fist...

    Close call at the soccer park

    I was hunting a soccer park that I've hunted for a few years now. It has coughed up a lot of good targets so its my favorite spot to hunt. A groundskeeper pulled up next to me on his gator and asked if I was searching for something in particular. I said just detecting. He then told me I was on...

    Eliptical vs Round

    There are some areas I hunt by power lines (transformers in particular), that are very difficult because of EMI. I'm talking about 100 ft away that is fairly brutal on the ears (especially when I set the detector down to dig). It is generally accepted that eliptical coils are less affected by...

    Working in nails

    I was at a field working over an area where an old homestead once was. The soil was full of nails and iron objects. That didn't bother me, I listened for the high tones of non ferrous targets. The targets that I did find were always close to the surface. After 3 hrs in the field, I did pull two...

    Android mapping software

    I have been searching for a map program that I can place a stick pin where I find potential old homesteads to get permission to search. By using Historic Map Works overlays I can find the site but must record the location in a notebook. Not any more....... I came across a program called "Locus...

    F/S Propointer Skins

    As seen in the post on modifications forum Propointer Skins If you like this Idea, and cannot find small quantities of clear shrink film in 200 gauge, I am selling a kit of 12 heat shrink skins plus 3 extras (just in case of flaws) for a total of 15-skins plus 1-tip protector, for the...

    ProPointer skin

    http://youtu.be/9aU0xmZxKUk Video lighting is poor but for instructional purposes and I didn't want to keep tearing off skins and re-applying them. You need a heat gun. If you don't have one available, Harbor Freight has them for $8 plus tax. It is a very handy tool to have around the house...

    Overcharging your Deus

    Maybe I'm late to the table with this hint, but was reminded by Andy's post about forgetting to charge the coil. Its advised in the manual not to leave your Deus on the charger for longer than necessary (3hrs I believe). I forgot a couple times and left it on for 8hrs or more. I came up with a...

    Some praise for the XP Deus

    I bought my Deus in early June 2012, and not including gas and other incidental expenses, in 6 months my Deus has paid for itself in gold, silver and clad finds. Only one other detector I own has done the same but not in such a short time and it only cost $425. Of course I am a more experienced...

    Jewelry hunting technique

    I've posted this a number of years ago on another forum but I think it bears repeating, especially when the procedure worked for me again the other day. I found a gold religious medallion without the chain. A sweep with my Propointer in the hole didn't net any additional results, neither did...
