Nice find! I'm still ramping up and learning my Deus. Would you mind sharing your settings and the environmental conditions that resulted in that beauty? How did it come in and what did you hear?
Much appreciated,

No problem. I'm also still learning this machine and at times have almost given up on it but then I find goodies and realize how good the Deus is:
I was hunting a farm field that has tall grass clumps so switched to PF program. The coil was at least 6" above the ground due to the grass but it rang out at a solid 72 (I think). The coin was another 6" deep in the ground. There is a learning curve but stick with it and hopefully Andy will help with his book soon.

Super find . . . and it's true, you never know what you might find out there . . . . tell Sam he needs to spend more time hunting and less time teaching 
I'm glad to see a post where the settings rather than the program name are the focus . . . . in the book I cover that point and cringe when I see people saying to use a specific program without discussing why specific aspects / settings in a particular program are preferred. The recent post on what program to use in a Colonial field with the resulting answers listing programs rather than explaining settings is a classic example.
The predefined programs were well tested before release but they are starting points - and since they were developed outside of the US, there are challenges we face here that are not prevelant elsewhere - the Deus can address them as long as one understands what feature and what setting will do that.
Again, great find . . . . did anything else pre-Civil War show up from the area? Might have a structure / dwelling that predates that war by 100+ years in the area.
