Well I was surprised but shouldn't have been

Went out yesterday to a small, very old (1884), and very trashy park in search of loot.

Eventually I hit a very ugly signal that typically yields aluminum foil. I decided to take the trash in an effort to clean the spot in preparation for the 11" coin biggrin. Before I dug the target however, I decided to switch the frequency from the 12KHz I usually hunt in to the 4KHz which I am beginning to use a little more.

Well, lo and behold, the signal went from a signal no one should ever dig to a mixed signal with well defined iron grunts and a sweet, silky, come-hither kinda of signal that screamed silver. At about 7.5 to 8 inches deep I pulled this:

That's a 1916 S Mercury dime. I was going to put the pictures of the clean dime but the pics were too big. I did for a few minutes think the S was a D so I was very happy...for a little while.

Just goes to show, there are more layers to the XP Deus than an onion!

HH!

Nice Find .. to bad about the S but still cool. The Deus will really tell you a lot of information in the tones and I have also been surprised by those weird iffy signals that are just good enough to dig. The more you use this machine the better it gets. Congrats on your Merc

Nice work, pulling those makes it all worth it!
