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 two hunts and I was floored...4Khz seems to knock out the iron best of all, and isn't as sensitive to gum wrappers and foil like 12 and 18kHz are.
At the local park, all of the older coins lie deeper than 7" and are just non-VDI squeaks using 4kHz. I dig plenty of foil, some iron, and a few modern coins, but at this place it's the deep ones that I love to dig. When you see that dark green color at the bottom of the hole it's fun to imagine the story of how it got lost and what the world was like when it was lost...if only coins could talk!
Next time I'm at the park I will try the non-motion audio disc mode to hopefully better ID deep coins vs foil. Last year while using the "NOMAD" mode I was able to find a couple 9-10" deep coins that I couldn't get with the 4khz program...with a little more time under my belt hopefully I can reach an older level of history!
