I've posted many times about this small beach I have been detecting. Red clay under the sand, quartz and a lot of black sand and iron to boot. Since January of this year or thereabouts I've gotten a lot of rings and silver off of this beach. Not hardly anything in the water per the lake is 12 ft low. I'm hunting the normal pool line and where people would have swam when it is at full pool, way up the "now" beach. I've hunted it with my Excal II and flat blistered the small area with my GT. The mineralization flat shut the ETrac I ran over it down. The GT smoked it pretty darn good after many visits then I hunted it with the GT in all metal. I still pulled some silver and another ring even though the finds were getting scarce for anything metal. Then I got a wild hair and bought the Deus. I had over the last year really picked everything off of about 20 or so small beaches at this lake and could not hardly get a signal or just a couple of finds each trip. I actually bought the Deus to coin hunt here in town the beaches were so metal free it seemed. No joke! This one small beach I had been hunting had dried up. I put the Deus on it and and really still just cannot see how much stuff the mineralization had obviously hidden from my other machines. That's all I can think of the reason being. I really don't know? My last 2 hunts have been a huge eyeopener for me. I'm back to finding a LOT of older beavertail pulltabs and a good many greenies, also a couple of rings in the last three hunts. My GT will get a rest this fall and winter looks like. Like I said if there is this much stuff still in the ground I'm gonna pull more rings and jewelry. Here's some pics from the small area again. This was my first hunt on it with the Deus. Two more silver dimes and and beavertail pulltabs.
Here's three hunts ago on the same little area and I'm learning the Deus still and how to adjust it. Pretty 10K gold ring.
Here's two hunts ago, same small beach, not much bigger than a double car garage as I've mentioned before. Got a pretty little silver ring this time and more old beavertails!
The ring has an R on it.
Here's this mornings hunt, more greenies and old beavertails. Same place.....
I believe I have found my new dry and wet sand detector. I would have bet you a lot of money this was not there. Now I've got about 20 small beaches to hunt "again" this fall and winter. There is no possible way I have missed this much stuff in this small area. I'm digging this all inside and around small indentions where I've dug other stuff since this past January.
