    Hit Hard Church Produces

    Went to a park with my buddy and his 10-year-old son today....it was the young man's first detecting trip and there's still enough clad in the park to learn the ropes. He found enough clad that I think he'll want to go again. After he'd had his fill of detecting, he still hovered around our...

    Experimenting With GB and Sens

    Yesterday I took a trip to get face to face with some property owners in hopes of getting permission to hunt their rental property--I'd been eyeballing this place for over a year but no one was ever home. The owners were a very nice retired couple and explained to me that they let family live...

    Little Problem Quick Fix by XP

    I noticed in the past several hunts my remote was not "clicking" into place on the stem like it normally does. And it actually popped off once during my last hunt which never happens to me. Fortunately it popped off into the grass while kneeling down to dig--not a problem, but had it landed on...

    Tried Pinpointing a Different Way

    I'm pretty certain I'm not following Mudpuppy's recommended technique, but here are a couple of unedited videos (sorry about that), where I give the pumping method a try. I'm posting this hoping I'm doing it wrong rather than finding out it's not a task suitable for the Deus. Each video is a...

    Memorial Day Hunt

    Not much of a story to go with today's hunt, but here goes. I've been eyeballing a vacant property and through the neighbor-grape-vine I was able to locate the owner, meet face-to-face and get permission. Very nice gentlemen who recently purchased the property for his daughter--who hasn't...

    Gnats Be Damned!

    It would have been a very pleasant day, but the gnats ruined that part of the trip for me. Bugs notwithstanding I was able to put my 12K coin program to work and come up with some decent finds. The first half of the day was paltry for this area--two wheat pennies and a bit of clad. I've been...

    Another Coin Ring

    Appears to be a '59 Washington quarter. Doing the ole' switcharoo between 12K and 4K with full tones, reactivity 2 / silencer -1 and sens at 90. These keepers stood out amongst the clad and couple of dozen wheats dug today!

    I Don't Care What Anyone Says, It Counts As A Coin Find!:thumbup:

    Spent the day looking for treasure like we do. I came across the rosie first, then a little later a ring...or so I thought. When I rubbed it in the field, the black wouldn't come off, so I thought it was a knockoff. The thin sterling ring came later. When I got home and took a look at the...

    The Luck Continues

    Was able to nab a few silvers today and an 1893 IHP and 1909 penny (no mintmark and no VDB). Targets were 5-6 inches at most--ran with 12K full tones and reactivity 2 / silencer -1.

    ID Norm on and off

    I created a video to illustrate the differences in audio tones (there are no differences) and VDI when switching between ID Norm on/off. The user manual states on page 27: "ID NORM (Standardization of the targets ID)Let users know that the 18 KHz frequency target ID value is the one that is...

    Someone's Husband Is Going To Be PO'd

    Knocked on a door today and gave the lady at the door my spiel. She said, "Go ahead, my husband has a detector and he's been digging up the yard everywhere." I said my thanks and went about my business without my usual optimism since hubby probably already found all the good targets. The...

    Another Good Day Out With the Deus

    Hunted a few hours today at a permission site with a 12K full tones program. This site was loaded with nails and I'd almost given up on one hole because of all the nails I kept pulling out of it. I covered and uncovered the hole twice before I finally nailed that slippery little merc. I used...

    Unusual Ground Today

    The finds weren't singing out in my normal 12K program; not sure why, but I was able to nab a few anyway. I think maybe years of fertilizer combined with a lot of iron may be the culprit on this site, but I'm still scratching my head. One of the IHPs is not a IHP. It's dated 1864 and appears...

    Today's Deus Roundup

    Lots of Solid Hits Today

    Typical home-site program today: 11-inch coil 12K Full tones React 2 Silencer -1 TX-1 Disc 6 Notch 7-30 The amount of coins in this one yard was unbelievable. 22 wheats including a 1909 without an S and without a VDB. Also found two deep tokens that don't appear in the token book I have for...

    Question for the Deus Dealers

    This post is not intended to bash any dealer, supplier, sponsor, the factory, etc. This is simply a question I have about how to go about getting service when or if the Deus equipment is not performing optimally. Over the past 6 months, I've read posts about people having issues and how it's...

    User's Manual

    Here is a link to the XP Deus User's Manual in soft copy form. It's useful to have this on your computer so you can quickly search all references of a particular topic without having to thumb through all the pages. Some topics are obscure and having a soft copy can save a lot of time...

    Coil Construction Question

    Does anyone have any insight into why some coils are constructed differently than others? I had to send in my 9-inch coil a while back--turns out it had failed so I received a new one from Massachusetts. I sampled some photos from the internet to illustrate what my original and replacement...

    Couple of Deus finds before the cold snap

    The cold weather and snow flurries moved into the Midwest on Monday morning--I was out hunting with my girlfriend and was able to nab another couple of silvers before the temps plummeted and winds pushed us out. I've had a string of luck finding silver lately, particularly with Barber coins...
