    New site

    A good friend that does excavating that knows a lot of big farmers in a couple counties north of me has hooked me up with a bunch of new house sites to hunt. Now the race is on to get them hunted before they get planted. This site was on the 1865 and 1874 atlas but gone by 1909. The only trash...

    -6.4 only. Tried running this last fall when the crops came off but the barrage of iron signals was just too much for my ears. So this spring I tried running Deep HC in 3 tones, 0 to 55 tones 100, 55 to 88 tones 750, 88 to max 900. For my ears it made listening to all the iron tolerable and made...

    They were mostly in the 6 to 8 in range I think. Usually with iron debris close by.

    Having used the Deus2 for about a year now and trying all the factory programs and settings that people on YouTube have posted I‘ve had limited success hunting all my old house sites that I’ve been hunting for more than twenty years with 5 different Minelabs and a Fisher F75. A while back I...

    Tool

    Definitely a tool for clamping on to something.

    Several hunts Deus 2

    Trying to stay ahead of the planters at some of my old house sites. Had a ball the last couple weeks learning the new machine and found a few coins that were missed with all the Minelabs. Just my opinion but I think the 2 has way better target ID especially on the deep targets.

    Indian Half Cent

    Used the D2 in my oldest house site today , the buckle was folded completely shut and started to crack when I opened it up so I leave it as is. First indIan half cent I’ve found. Have hunted this site since 2006 and is laden with iron, signals are few and far between. The D2 really brought it...

    Couple hunts

    Starting to catch on to the faint deep signals. Higher tones has made it easier for my poor hearing to hear the really deep ones. Finds from yesterday and today from really hammered sites I’ve hunted for years.

    sold

    A few keepers

    I think these were on the edge of detection, barely a whisper of a signal. Nice to see a shiny rim in the bottom of the hole.

    Big Silver

    First silver with the Deus 1, tried a one room school near by and got up next to the foundation that was loaded with iron. Using the 9 in round HF coil was able to find a few keepers.

    Minelab CTX 3030

    Just too heavy for me. Bought new from Windy City detectors whatever year they came out. Standard coil and 6 inch coil and original packaging. Won’t say hardly ever used, I used it a lot the first several years I owned it. I think I only did one update short after receiving it. Has never needed...

    Same old sites

    With all the physical ailments the CTX is just too heavy for me to use so I’ve started using the XP Deus. I bought it for my wife about 5 years ago and she lost interest quickly because of all the iron she was digging and I did the same for the first 3 or 4 times I tried it before understanding...

    Beanfield Finds

    Two days of hunting in a newly picked bean field. Found the large cent yesterday and the rest today. Digging in the rock hard ground was a real chore.
