I hunted an old site today that was very promising, but very trashy. It has been everything from a stage coach stop, an Inn, a post office, gas station, resturant, roadside garage, you name it. Some very affluent people have spent time here including celebrities from the 1800s on up until the late 50s. It's owned by a friend so we went up there today with great anticipation. Since everyone has said the Deus is so great on trashy sites I had high expectations. It might be me, it might be the trash, it might be coronal mass ejections....but I dug more trash today than I ever have. Nearly every signal sounded like a mix of all 4 tones, raspy, high, low...ugh.... High tones with good numbers dug up trash...low tones dug trash, pennies were dead on, but a 1995 Nickel buried 4" down rang as 61-66 with no junk around it in the hole.
I did manage a few zinc pennies, a newer nickel or two and a 1970 Quarter, but nothing what I had anticipated.
Anyway...I tried lower the sensitivity (85 from 93), lowering and raising reactivity, adjusting GB (tracking, pump, manual), adjusting frequency, raising disc to 10, 30, 50...nothing seemed to have much of an effect.
Here's what I started with:
Basic 1, edited as follows
4 tones, 200 (up to 27), 502 (28-43), 651 (44-90), 791 (91 and up)
disc 2.5
silencer 1
react 1
TX power 2 (I played with this outside last night (1 thru 3) and it seemed to have no effect on a nickel, penny or quarter buried at 8")
Sens 93
GB Tracking
Here's a video showing what I'm describing as far as the tones. We do know that the yard was often used as a dump for all manner of things...and we found a lot of it! What I need is another Deus user to spend some time with me hunting, but until I can find someone nearby the internet has to do.
Thanks in advance.

I've attached a photo of the overlook off the back porch of this historic site. Pretty spectacular!
