    No April Foolery for This Hunt! :beers:

    We finally had a decent day where the snow wasn't blowing, settled, or otherwise blocking the way to get to a good local spot where older coins seem to congregate! I hunted this park on Monday and found a couple of older Wheats and a nice Type 1 Buffalo nickel, and for the last couple days I've...

    9" Coil Got Down and Dirty Today! :super:

    Had time for a short hunt today - I decided to try out an old park not far from home - the same park that I found so many deep coins late last year. Upon getting there I saw another detectorist using a White's V3i, and casually made my way over to him. Introduced myself and asked how the "hunt"...

    More Rental Houses...9" coil Gets it Done!

    Got back to the old neighborhood a couple days back and started at a bungalow type house built in the 1920s. One of the first coins to come up was a bent 1926 Wheat, but that was to be the only old coin from that house. Went around to the backyard to find three Showbiz tokens stacked in the same...

    9" Deus starts a Silver Streak!

    I drove 1100 miles to Memphis the other day to pick up my daughter for spring break and managed to get three hunts in before having to drive back to Colorado. Drove 15 hours straight through starting at 7pm and met Tabman (Gerald) at one of his productive house sites at about noontime....after...

    Rejoining the ranks with a Deus...very soon!

    I'm jumping back into a full Deus setup as soon as possible - recently came across a 401K I forgot about :laugh: I was just getting going with a couple of the non-motion audio disc modes hunting deep 8-10" coins in a local park where the normal 4K and 12K programs were *just* picking these...

    Silver Sabre II gets it done today!

    My partner and I spent about 5 hours today hunting a couple of old homesites...we found a few coins and mostly trash, but I got a good signal using the Silver Sabre 2 while in Disc 3 that disappeared when I turned Disc to 5. Thought it was going to be another piece of can slaw, but was surprised...

    Picked up an F70...can't wait to get started! :bouncy:

    It's on like Donkey Kong! :clapping: A little warmer weather on tap for us means it's time to see if the winter research will pay off! XP is still working on the new v4 but in the meantime, coins need to be saved...hope to get started later next week. Time for a coin garden too...

    A little help with a Silver Sabre II

    I posted this elsewhere, but I'd like any and all help that I can get! :thumbup: I recently had a coworker loan me a Sabre II to "get comfortable with" before him and I go out hunting on Sunday. This detector has a Sensitivity and Disc knobs, as well as "Retune", "All Metal", and "Disc" toggle...

    Back to familiar soil with the AT Pro!

    Made it back to the Memphis area for the big move and had some time to get out with dad and my uncle for some much-needed detecting! We had noticed a small house was recently bulldozed and dad had wanted to jump on the opportunity...but I wasn't so keen on the place since I noticed a bunch of...

    Deep silver du jour!

    After the resounding success from the first hunt at the "deep coin park", I went back last night for more...I set up the Deus in the same manner as before, and started hunting in almost the same area as where I left off with the two deep V nickels. It took quite a while to find the first coin...

    Where the deep coins live...

    Last night I decided to head to one of the old parks in the area and hunt deep targets. I had assumed that since this area doesn't receive as much rain the older items wouldn't be as deep, but this turned out to be a wrong assumption! Started off in 4 khz Reactivity 1 Silencer 0 Disc 0 and...

    Found a decent spot...getting ready to say goodbye to the Deus :sadwalk:

    I went back to a park where I've found a few deep Wheats before and tried out the opposite corner using 4 khz and Reactivity 2. First target was jumping from 68-74-66 and wouldn't really settle, but the audio was pretty clean in both directions. "I'm here to dig it all!" I remember thinking...

    Back to the vacant lots tonight...stabbing westward :rolleyes:

    Made it out tonight for about an hour to where I found a couple of Wheats yesterday....first coin was a Wheat less than an inch deep! Again, trash was sparse and there were more coin signals than anything else - always a good sign! The ground in places was like concrete, but other places...

    First couple of hunts in Colorado!

    Finally got a chance to hunt after getting to CO about 8 days ago. The weather is much drier and cooler than what I'm used to, and also the change in elevation was something I underestimated... Today's hunt yielded two Wheats that are in remarkable shape compared to how they usually come out of...

    Summer in the City...a few good finds

    Made it out before it became unbearable and found a few good keepers before wrapping it up around noon. Got a few minutes' worth of video, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoNZOJyHAQ0 Hoping and praying for cooler and wetter weather, but that seems far off this time of year...

    Last hunt in June...

    Got back to the old neighborhood last night with my partner - we found a newly vacated rental built in 1947 that I've always wanted to hunt before moving out of that part of town last year. This was a promising corner lot that didn't fail to impress My partner's first target was a Wheat - I...

    Good assortment of coins for today - some interesting spills!

    Got up bright and early this morning to a cool and clear sky - the oppressive heat that had been around all last week got blown out, at least temporarily! First stop this morning was a recently vacated rental built in 1926 that was exactly one block from where I hunted 2 weeks ago. The grass was...

    2 Fresh Rentals = Handful of old coins!

    Started out early this morning and hunted 2 different rentals houses until about noon. First rental to hunt was built in 1926 and at this house there were a few coin spills - details are in the Deus forum! It was a 5-silver day before 9:00 this morning! At the second rental I hit a 1952...

    4 khz hunt yields a wee .8g silver ring! :cool:

    Made it into the city tonight for a couple of hours at the "demoed" homesite that was built on in 1912 and recently razed. Unfortunately we weren't the first people who had hunted this place, as the lack of targets made that clear almost from the start. There were the usual large iron suspects...

    Some like it hot...:surrender:

    I had doubts about getting out to hunt today - needed a front end alignment and rotate + balance tires on my vehicle first before any type of recreation was to be had! Got the car back around 11:30 and it was around 92*F already with a 100*F index...and only light sporadic winds. The ideal place...
