    Have to start digging those zinc pennies?

    Here's my story and I'm sticking to it... I have the Deus-2 for a year now, moving up from the Deus-1. I had been doing mostly a farm fields and occasionally a rural park until this past week. I decided to go to a sports field and hunt for jewelry. So I modified the park program for shallow...

    D2 can slaw question

    When I used the D1, I could always tell when I was over a large piece of can slaw because it gave an audio overload signal despite the VDI giving a good target number. The D2 doesn't overload on large can slaw but instead gives a nice tone as well a good target number. Do others here who have...

    Deus-1 vs Deus-2

    Hi all, it's been a while since I've been on the forum so Hello all! I've run into an interesting issue..... I just updated my Deus-1 with the latest. My custom programs are written down so I took my notes and D1 controller to work and programmed it. When I got home to do further air test...

    School

    Nothing extra special here, but I thought I would post my most recent "good" finds from hunting a local school total of 8-10 hrs. over a 4 day period. Mind you, I've pounded it with 3 different detectors I've owned before attacking it with the Deus. The deus has pulled more silver than all 3...

    Unusually large token

    The other day I was hunting a school property and got a nice soft signal in 4KHz that ID'd at 93-96. I switched to 8KHz and it trended upward from 95-98. That indicated a high conductor target so I dug. After 6 inches I hit a clay layer that was about 2-3 inches. Once I broke through, I was...

    Steel war pennies, are they still found?

    That question is brought up on the forum from time to time... You can see the rim and under the right lighting, the bust of Abe. It's better than some modern zinc's I've found. It's the second one I've found but the other one was so badly deteriorated it was without any identifying features...

    How I use 18KHz for jewelry

    My preference hunting style is turf jewelry (Don't have beaches near me else I would capitalize on them). For me it's the greatest return for time spent swinging. However I have been rewarded with the occasional silver dime, wheat, and IH penny, not to mention the LC's, standing liberty, V...

    Another Propointer depth mod.

    This is a great mod for the tinkerer by Henrik Rasmussen. It should work for any standard soil but might cause falsing in highly mineralized soil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nekkZxQxr1g&sns=em

    4KHz- The more I use it the more I like it.

    Not to say I wouldn't have found these in the other frequencies, but I'm getting used to the nuances of 4KHz. First ever silver coin spill in this 2hr hunt from an area of the school that I gridded several years ago with another detector. The 3 silvers and nickel together were all from the same...

    My take on 4KHz

    First I would like to thank CZconnoiseur and Beepsilver for their imformative posts using 4KHz. Because of the strong case for 4KHz in searching for coppers and silver, I decided to put it to use in a couple places that I had found silver in the past. I went to a local school where I have dug...

    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...
