Here is the better finds from my last two hunts, surf and turf.
First on the left, I found that one yesterday. It sounded sooo darn good, I knew what it was before I even dug it. A high tone from the heavens. I already had the thread titled "Sounds so good didn't need a mark". About 20 minutes later I sat down were no one was around to have a closer look. Hmm, looks plated, looks aluminum but sounded so good. Out of curiosity I took the headphones off to check a number, 96! Even rings like a bell when dropped on a table.
Then today I thought I would hit the drink, my usual haunt for that old gold. I got a nice penny tone while hunting in iron with reactivity of 5. I kicked the target around for a while until the clay finally released it's grips. Out comes a nice blue ring.
I thought, right on, this makes up for the silver fake out yesterday. I know what silver sounds like, I know what old silver looks like in the water, still about 10 minutes later I thought I better look for some sort of mark, Tungsten Carbide. Wha whaaa.
Oh well, it's heavy, (15.6 grams) I found it lets see what else is around in these conditions.
I then headed a little farther off shore (turned down reactivity to 2.5 cranked the sens to 95) and got a decent kinda mid range tone. By decent I mean anything remotely non ferrous that far from shore is a good thing. I took two or three scoops, signal got better, then a little worse. (Some iron farts mixed in) I was thinking it was going to be a small 22 casing or something under 1/2" and brassy or bullety usually farts, turns out it was a nice little 10K signet ring.
Whenever I find something good and/or old I'll check out the targets around it, I wanted to know what was farting, never know maybe just catching a bit of a chain or something. Turns out there were these little 1/8" round staples were mingling with the 1.1 gram ring.
Same 18kHz fulltones type hunt that I usually do, just turn up the reactivity when the targets get thick. That tungsten ring had about 3-5 iron targets under the coil at the same time, but the Deus just slammed it with that 5 reactivity.
I suspect 12kHz would be a little deeper in the freshwater, just as on land when talking general silver/copper targets but I just can't stop using 18kHz because of the depth edge on that old yellow.
