The Deus doesn't have to find amazing stuff every time

Sometimes it is just a journeyman. This is from an hour hunt at a sidewalk strip at our Thanksgiving annual family reunion:

Three silver Rosies? I would say that's a fantastic day! I have about a 50' long section of sidewalk strip in my front yard, and have pulled all the high and mid-ranged targets from it using a CZ-6 - I wonder what the Deus could pick out of there that the CZ-6 can't see due to iron in the sidewalk! Great day!

If you are talking about the rebar in the concrete it should not really have any effect on your detector except right up against it which will effect and detector.A small coil would be the biggest help.
The Deus shines when hunting in areas littered with iron , nails and other trash.

I have an issue with the rebar as well, and would love any strategies for dealing with it. Many of the curb strips around here are very narrow -- only 2' - 3' in many places. So there's not much to swing over if you're not up near the edge of the sidewalk or the curb (which around here usually has rebar, too). I don't really want a smaller coil, but would love a way to deal with the situation. The rebar varies on where it rings in, but often it's in the 70s when using 12 kHz. On some very shallow targets I can still get a 2nd tone that I can differentiate from the rebar, but that tends to be recent clad drops, or pull-tabs, bottle caps, etc.

Thanks,

Seems that every sidewalk I hunt near has a decent mid-high tone when I get within 2" of the concrete...for the entire length of the sidewalk so I hunt out far enough from the edge to keep that signal out of my sweep. I assume it's the reinforcing fabric in the concrete. It's simialrly difficult to hunt next to chain link fences for the same reason.

I'd be pleased with your haul...even if it was all clad. I know this isn't going to make me rich in a financial sense. I just love the time where my mind goes blank other than listening to the tones. I zone out and it's very relaxing.

Exactly!!

This is the biggest reason why I fish the dirt!!
