Deus takes on a bed of nails

[Southwind]

I have a site that used to be an old ice house back when I was a kid. The front is pea rock littered with iron so think it has been impossible to hunt with any detector. I ran in Deus Fast and picked out the good repeatable signals among all the iron and got some keepers. Best was a Pontiac Chief of the Sixes token from the 1930's. Can't wait to get back and see what else is hiding in all that iron.

I love seeing stuff like that.There were enough washers and nails there to make a small car.Was that the 9 or 11 inch coil? Thanks for sharing.

WOW great video showing how great our machines are.....Good job.

Junky sites is where all the good stuff is as other machines can not get the goodies.

We have very similar sites over here in the UK these are roman sites that are just covered in hobnails that had been used on the soldier boots/shoes to increase the durability of them.

But when using the Deus using Deus Fast it does certainly give you a chance to find some decent finds,best used with the 9'' coil,a great all round detector.

Super job sniffing those targets out.

Makes me wonder if a 6 inch coil would allow one to hunt sites like that a bit more productive than the 9 inch coil. I know the 9 inch coil does wonders (all I have is the 9 inch coil for my Deus), but for sites like that, as well as tot lotting for gold jewelry, a smaller coil would foot the bill nicely. Wonder how an F75/T2 with the 5 inch coil would do on that site.

No matter how well a unit separates/recovers, when there is more than one target in the line of sight of the coil, things get skewed ( both audio and visual).

I was using the 9" coil.

That signal I got in the video was the 1930's Pontiac token about 4" deep.
