Deep Big Silver / Coin Silver Pocket Watch Cover / 1934 Chauffeur License Badge

floodplaindetector

Well-known member
Finds are from a few weekend hunts over the last 3 weekends with my new super light XP Deus 2. I bought it 3 weeks ago and started getting familiar with it right away.
All finds shown are from old researched public sites. Most of the silver including the big silver was pulled from North Dakota.
It didn't take long for me to put any doubts to bed if the Deus 2 was a deep machine or not.
The 1910 Barber Quarter was way down there with the 1935 Half dollar being at least 2 inches under the quarter. I originally hit on the Quarter as i was getting a subtle but repeatable 94 signal on my machine.

The 2 oldest silver dimes and the Chauffeur License Badge were pulled from a Sunday hunt in Minnesota. It was about 8 inches deep. Yesterday was a 5-silver day.
That silver pocket watch cover is very heavy. I was happy to find a 'Coin' stamp on it along with a patent date when I cleaned it up. That was pulled at a nearby former old school site that is now a city park.
thanks for looking!
Dave

Absolutely Incredible.
Seems like almost virgin sites.
Your work take you around the country. Mine did on occasion. Found some sweet items away from home.
Did you research these or just a bunch.
Great write up. Thanks for posting.
Keeping my dreams alive.
If I can ever get out of this house that is.
 
Looks like a seamless transition to the D2 for you Dave! (I personally think you'd find deep silver with a 1970's Radio Shack detector with your skills).

Finding marked "Coin" silver is pretty darn cool. Congrats!
