    HF Coils and Gold Coins - Discussion

    So I've lived in Colorado for over 2 years now, and have dug hundreds of deep (6-10") coins from several local spots in that time. The conventional approach to deep coin hunting in this environment has been using 4kHz with the 11" coil, which helps get through the mineralization and ID iron for...

    New Neighborhood, Old Houses, and a Park Hunt

    Just got moved into the new place which is in one of the older areas of Colorado Springs - this neighborhood dates back to the 1890s and there's a nearby school undergoing renovation that was built back in 1902. Some sidewalk sections have been dug up for the school renovation, and I was lucky...

    9" Round HF Coil

    Hello all, Haven't been detecting as much lately, much to do with getting ready to move across town....but last weekend we got it done, got it over with; and now things are settling back to normal. Mike and I hunted the new rental property, built in 1949, and is a corner lot with a few...

    A Nice Oldie from the Pounded Park!

    Made a trip to the park the other night as usual for a Thursday - I started off digging some deep iron and a couple beavertails, and then got a consistent high tone about 2 hours into the hunt. Got down to the 9" level and brushed away the dirt to see a silver coin of some type at the bottom. I...

    Deus Still Rocks the Park - MI-6 is Fantastic!!! :bouncy:

    Have been getting around to posting recent coin finds for several days now, and finally found my round tuit today! :grin: Pulled a Seated dime several hunts back - it's been warmer than usual lately but some cool air made its way to our neck of the woods today. Mike and I have been slowly...

    Sidewalk Tearout and a Rental House

    Had to fly to Memphis over the weekend for a death in the family, and when I had the chance I was able to get out three different times to hunt some old ground. It was a good distraction from reality, even if it was for only 2-3 hours each hunt...and finding silver will always put a smile on my...

    V4 Picks Out Several Winners!

    Have been taking advantage of the soft ground and getting to areas of a couple of parks with easier digging! Have also been using Reactivity 1 and also Reactivity 2.5 depending on the "trash quotient" - sometimes it's a rewarding venture but I felt obligated to show the mountain of junk targets...

    Where does one pick up a new MI-6 pinpointer? Can't seem to find one around here....

    Last Three Hunts

    We've been lucky to have periods of rain and snow that helps soften the ground in otherwise tough soil! I've been busy lately with several different things happening all at once and haven't been able to post anything as a result. Last three hunts have been at local parks - and getting to the...

    Yesterday's Haul

    Got out in the 65-degree sunny weather yesterday for a hunt in two different places. Late last week I learned of some recently demolished turn-of-the-century houses, and Mike and I made a night hunt from that tip - we pulled a single old coin each - with Mike finding a Wheat while I found a...

    Mobius Ring, Key Date (?) Wheats, and Silver!

    Made yet another trip to some old ground and was rewarded with several keepers...started in the same area where I left off last hunt with the Barber quarter - and about 30 minutes into the hunt I remember getting a 66-69 VDI in 4kHz on a clear, somewhat large signal. Dug out a crusty Wheat to...

    A Barber-y Kind of Hunt!

    Got out the other night for a little hunt - we had 7-8" of heavy wet snow on Tuesday and by the end of Thursday there was no trace of it! It made the digging MUCH easier and you could feel it just walking on the grass that the ground was nice and soft. In the first 15 minutes I found a little...

    Back to Work Tomorrow - So Had to Hunt Today!

    Today I made it to a local spot and spent almost 5 hours where I left off about two weeks ago. I started in 8kHz, but was digging so much small aluminum that I relented and switched to 4khz after a while. First coin was a 1947 S Wheat, and below it was some iron, and then below that was an old...

    Last Week's Booty From the Volunteer State

    Took 10 days off beginning last week for some well-earned vacation - we made a trip back to the Memphis area to visit with friends and family. The weather was calling for rain on Monday and Thursday, but it ended up being nearly perfect for the entire week! We left on Saturday and didn't get...

    A Few Hard-Earned Coins...

    The ground is getting increasingly more difficult to dig - we haven't had any appreciable rain for the last 4-5 months! :no: Where the soil is sandy, things are easier, but still no picnic - after more than 5 hours of digging yesterday my forearms and wrists were starting to push back! Went...

    4kHz V4.0 First Impressions! :thumbup:

    The day that almost ALL Deus users finally arrived yesterday - the long awaited firmware update to v4.0 finally came down the pike courtesy of XP!!! I got out to the park with the same settings as I used with v3.2 - and wanted to see what if any difference I'd notice while using 4kHz for deep...

    Short Hunt Yields a Key Date Barber Dime!

    I still can't believe it.... Yesterday I got out for a short time to the local park to hopefully pick up several nice coins before it got windy and colder.....I wasn't prepared for what the detecting gods were going to let me have, however.... I used the "Relic Program" with the Deus, which...

    Last Two Hunts - The Silver Keeps Coming!

    Haven't posted in a little while as I've been busy with other projects, but got out last night and scored some keepers at one of my local haunts that keeps on giving the good stuff! I hunted last week and found 10 coins total: Five modern coins totaling $0.18 as well as five period coins...

    One Thin Dime, One Sharp Indian

    Went out last night to one of our spots, and although I was feeling ill, Mike and I managed a few oldies! It was very slow-going and painful for me, but I could either be sitting at home feeling miserable or I could be out digging coins (at a much slower pace than usual) in fresh air....hmmm...

    Honey Hole Keeps Giving!

    Went at it again last night for about 4 hours and found three keepers! Not pictured is some clad, and a mountain of rusty nails, gum wrappers, and foil - par for the course Dug the 1864 Indian cent first, this is what Mike and I have come to call "an engraved invitation" for a deep coin...
