    Some days you are the pigeon - other days you are the statue!

    ...today I apparently was the statue! I got an early jump on the heat and humidity this morning starting at 6:15 to a new-to-me rental on the DODGY (as in check out all the shell casings in the trash pic!) side of town, only about 4 blocks away from last week's Monday hunt. This house was built...

    Silver and (9999) gold!

    Posted details of today's hunt in the Deus forum... I believe the 9999 stamp indicates 99.99% pure 24K gold - but why would this be used for jewelry? Indicated a 76-77 on my detector which is dime/silver dime range...any ideas?

    Clad took a backseat today :tongue:

    Got out early this morning to an older rental property that I called about last week, but never heard a a response. I called her again this morning and got started around 7:45. It was already a sticky day - but fortunately the lot I was to hunt first was completely shaded by a couple of large...

    Monday hunt...

    Made it out today with Dad and Gerald again not far from where we hunted last week - we started out finding a lot of clad, but after about 60 minutes and only one Wheat between the three of us we decided to find some older dirt. Drove a couple blocks away, saw a rental, and called the number...

    11" coil v3.2 Air Test Results...then and now!

    For those interested, I have provided air test data from when I first purchased the Deus to earlier this week when I reloaded the software. Test methods and settings are explained in footnotes of the documents. I didn't run the Deus "Wide Open" to get maximum depth for every coin, rather I set...

    Reloaded v3.2 again with noticeable improvements!

    I reloaded v3.2 last Sunday night and hunted with it on Monday - but I didn't do any air testing until last night to determine if any responses had improved. When I did this last October, the 12 khz frequency was a clear winner in sensitivity and maximum depth on coin-sized targets, with 8 khz...

    Unforgettable Memorial Day hunt using TX = 1

    Out of boredom last night I reloaded v3.2 into my Deus for today's hunt, and didn't really expect much difference in performance. After I "updated" the software last night I went out to my test garden where I have a couple of 8-9" coins buried to see if the same programs would hit any...

    Merc streak continues!

    Got out to a new-to-me area of the fairgrounds last night and hunted for about 3 hours. Recently jimtn has had some success at this part with a few Barber dimes and a 2-cent piece, so naturally I had to give it a go with the Deus. It started off kind of slow, as it usually does here, but after...

    The Bus Stopped Here...and another Rental House!

    Made it out today to beat the Monday blues - it was almost a perfect day for detecting; it rained most of the night last night and the ground was easy to work with. Yesterday I was in Knoxville and decided to hunt for a couple of hours but the ground there was dry and rocky, ended up finding a...

    Mother's Day Chicago hunt!

    Took a little weekend trip to the Windy City to visit some friends who live in a 1900s-1910s era neighborhood. I had never detected here before but the potential for so many old coins was too great to NOT take the Deus! We drove up on Sat night and didn't arrive until 5:00am the next morning...

    Clad blasting with a couple of surprises!

    Since the fairgrounds have slowed down a little from the last couple hunts, I decided to make a busy night of it and set out to find some gold at the old apt complex. Visited a couple of folks I know who still live there, and spent about three hours madly stabbing in search of the yellow metal...

    Back to Silver Street...

    Didn't have any properties "lined up" for a hunt this morning, so I went back to the old neighborhood and found a "Marty rental" that I'd hunted last year. Might have pulled a couple Rosies from this place before - but back then I hunted with stricter notching and was in 4 kHz most of the time...

    A Couple of night hunts from last week

    The weather is a bout perfect for evening fairgrounds hunts recently - with temps in the upper 50s to upper 60s. I got out alone last Tuesday night and started off finding some clad, but I was looking for a new hotspot. It took about two hours to come across any signs of "older dirt", and when I...

    Short hunt today...

    Have been really busy lately getting ready to move, selling off some things we are not taking on the trip, including our beloved Honda which found a new home today! Got out with Dad today after performing some car maintenance to a spot not far from his place, where an old church was torn down...

    Tot Lot Surprise!

    Took the kids to a tot lot today not far from home until sundown - and I just happened to have the Deus in my trunk so I could play too :rolleyes: I have heard that this location has yielded some CW-era finds in the past from a few local hunters, but I was only after jewelry today. There were a...

    Seeded Hunt...and the Day After!

    Yesterday I went on my first seeded hunt in almost 25 years - I used a 12 khz program that is very similar to what I use when hunting rentals, except for this hunt there were period CW bullets, round balls, and some tokens along with silver coins. I decided to eliminate all Notch except 00-38...

    Factory Programs Optimized for 9" coil?

    I got to wondering after reading this recent thread: http://www.findmall.com/read.php?83,2171624 Are the Factory settings, which were written before the 11" coil came about, optimized for ONLY the 9" coil? And if this is so, what parameters could be altered to Factory settings to get more "out...

    Another untouched rental!

    Dug quite a bit of trash but many of the better finds were hiding closeby but deeper. Spent about 3 hours at this house and hunted the front yard only, probably more goodies to be had in the backyard! Corner lots always turn up a few extra goodies IMO! First time in a LONG time where I didn't...

    Short morning hunt

    Made it out before the rain got us today and hunted a recently available corner lot just down the street from where I found the 1932 S quarter and Walker. I think I will rename this street "Silver Street" since 9 silver coins from three hunts have come from houses on it so far! :bouncy: Arrived...

    Yesterday's Hunt at three different locations!

    Gerald (Tabman) and I hit two different places yesterday and did very well at the first site. I went on later in the afternoon to a rental not far from where I moved from last year and scored BIG! Video is from the first and second locations - had trouble keeping a charge at the third spot...
