    S-Mint Streak is Alive and Well...

    Paid homage to one of our local spots yesterday, and managed to keep the "S-mint" streak alive. It's been going for the last 5 or 6 hunts, and it usually comes in the form of a Wheat cent. Used the same program as before, with Reactivity = 0 and Silencer = 2. Second hole was a deep 1897 Indian...

    Yesterday's Digs...Beavertail, Folded Beavertail, Cut Beavertail, and then....

    Yesterday's hunt started in a familiar spot where both Mike and I know there are deep coins hiding...but there is a layer of trash to get through first. I bet we dug 30 beavertails apiece in various states of preservation - I got lucky on the third or fourth hole with an 1894 Indian at 9" deep...

    Digging Deep With a Simple Program Change....

    Went back to an old spot after being blessed with a moderate amount of rain looking for those deep squeakers again yesterday with Mike, and we spent several hours concentrating on a couple areas. It still amazes me the stuff the remains buried even after checking, checking again, and then...

    Yesterday's Haul...S-Mint Streak Alive Again

    Made another afternoon of it for a few hours yesterday and the very first target dug was a 1919 D Wheat! We've been lucky to get a good amount of rain which is really helping in softening the ground, making it much more enjoyable! Seems like after a good rain some targets stand out slightly...

    More Deep Keepers....4kHz Fine Tuning

    Yesterday Mike and I picked up where we left off - just feet away from where he pulled the Seated dime last hunt. Had a slow start - finally got a deep 1903 Indian cent under the coil at about 8.5" deep in the same hole as a rusty bolt. Mike initialy started hunting with a Fisher ID Edge but...

    Last Hunt at the New Spot

    Got out a few days ago but have been very busy with several things happening all at once...so here I am posting at last! Hunted for about 4 hours total and it was fairly difficult getting to these deep targets - all coins were found between 7-9" deep and the ground has somewhat hardened up due...

    New Park Gives Up Old Coins :beers:

    After my Mike and I got skunked two hunts ago, and subsequently got one Indian cent after that apiece, I figured it was time to try some new ground. We have decimated our usual area but in the process both of us have pulled some truly fantastic Barber coins - but it's time to move on until XP...

    Early "S" Mint Streak Keeps Going....:bouncy:

    Last week leading up to the Fourth of July we've been busy moving...finally got the majority of that mess in the rear-view mirror, and yesterday was the first time to get out in about a week. Last hunt I bagged a VG-ish 1902 S Barber dime, and Mike had found two earlier "S" mint Barber dimes...

    More Deep Goodies...

    I was excited to get to hunt yesterday after practicing with the non-motion audio disc modes lately...but after about an hour of hunting in this mode I decided to go back to using the 4khz and 12khz programs together to help ID the deep hits....I even planted a few coins to get the audio disc...

    Non-Motion Audio Disc Mode - When It's Too Deep for VDI :detecting:

    Had a good Father's Day - hung around the house with the kids and watched a couple movies, and the Honey-Do list was suspended for one whole day I played in the basement for a couple of hours, experimenting with "Squealer Mode" in all the different frequencies and found some important facts...

    9" Coil Continues to Shine!

    It's hot almost everywhere in the country this week, so I decided to try out the good ole park at dusk for a couple hours. Have been using a deep-seeking 4 kHz program here for a couple of months now, and the coins just keep coming - somedays it's nothing but aluminum and deep nails for the...

    A Couple of Good Hunts This Weekend

    Yesterday I had a little over an hour to hunt a curb strip in a 1900-1920 era neighborhood before having to drive home after our cookout....After becoming nearly comatose after the grilling, drinking, laughing, and chocolate cake I was finally ready to find some older coins after not being able...

    Tried a New Program...May Snow Melts Fast!

    We actually had snow on May 1st, and hadn't seen the sun two days prior, so I was more than ready to get back to old, freshly moistened ground! So yesterday I got back to the deep coin park and tried a different program in the hopes of ignoring smaller aluminum targets while still getting good...

    Today's Haul!

    Had a short 2-hour hunt after work today - posted some more details in the Deus forum....I will be working this spot into oblivion!

    Today's After-Work Hunt...

    Made it out again today after work to the good ol park - and right off the bat I started hunting in exactly the same area where I left off. First coin target rang up 62-65, in 4kHz; and from only 6" down comes a fairly decent 1916 D Wheat! About three feet away, I got another good target...

    Mineralization Bar

    What exactly does the mineralization "bar" do? The way I understand it is that the bar graph shows the current "ground reading" between the upper right number and the lower right number is where GB is "set" manually or otherwise. So, for instance if you've set your GB manually to "85", and the...

    Cold and Snowy Hunt Yields a Variety of Keepers! :thumbup:

    I had most of the day to hunt today, and although it was cold and snowy I soon forgot about the weather after digging the first target - a 7" Indian cent that actually gave a VDI of 62! This was to be the start to a very productive day, but there were definite lulls in the action. All in all I...

    Deus Hits a White Gold Surprise Today...Plus a Few Collector Coins!

    Got out to the park again today after work and concentrated on more deep targets using 4kHz. The first target I came across was faint, but I got a VDI of 95 and it seemed to hold true to that number. Some bottlecaps and cast iron can ID around the mid-90s, but the audio component of the signal...

    Found an Older Curb Strip! :thumbup:

    Yesterday was a nice, warm day around these parts...so I ended up in Pueblo not far from where the original Generous Curb Strip was located. Didn't have a lot of time to hunt, but managed to find another productive curb strip which was holding shallow old coins. First target was a clad dime...

    Last Few Hunts - The Deep and the Shallow Coins!

    The last three hunts with the 9" Deus have been good ones - I've spent time at the local park and over the weekend I went to a nearby town and pulled a few older coins each time. The weekend hunts were on some curb strips that gave up a few shallow silvers - nothing was deeper than 3" for those...
