BRAND NEW DEUS - 1ST HUNT!

Hey all - figured I'd add to the "Deus postings" since we don't have enough of them lately!!

Been a while since I've posted anything good - it's been a dry summer here and not much action other than the occasional beach/water hunt for me

but anyway - I sold my old Deus to DeathRay and immediately replaced it with a new one and took her out on her maiden voyage over the weekend to an old vacant farm house I've had permission to hunt for a while now but had to wait for the right conditions (farmer to cut the grass and some rain)!

Here's my "good" findings for a 4 hr hunt ;-)

I like the WW1 eagle coat button and complete 1840s/50s 1 & 3/8" running horse W.E.B Crotal Bell

worth mention is what seems to be 1850s/60s sterling silver girls ring (the tiny one) and the 1893 injun - there's also a burnt/crusty merc dime that I can't make the date out on ;-)

HH all

P.S.
There was an 1840s/50s cabin at this site before the current farm house that was built around 1900 ;-)

Wayne--------Congrats on the finds.-----What's that item directly below that spoon?-----My wife & I have found several of them over the years (nine of them to be exact) and never really knew what they are.---They look like the one you show in your picture.----------Del

So I don't get it you sold it to deathray but got a truck and hunted with???? Why would you sell a deus and buy one again?

If you don’t dig it, then how are you going to know what you’re missing!

Hey Del

I needed the "cash" from the older Deus to put towards the truck -- then I put the new Deus on a credit card

A nice selection of finds.

The burnt mercury dime might be recoverable.
Electrolysis, and then a gentle rubbing with a baking soda/water paste, might give you a date.
This does wonders with some extremely salt water corroded silver coins.

Hey Wayne-----NOW I know what them buggars are!!------Wifes got them hanging on a wire for display---turns out we got 10 of them. (grin)

a fool and his money are soon parted?..just kidding!
sweet lookin' truck!

(h.h.!)
j.t..

I'm confused. Aren't you suppose to detect a new area first with a "conventional" detector, and then go over it with a Deus to see what the other detector missed? <G>
Just messing with you. Very nice finds! Imagine what else lurks there beneath the dirt. Keep us posted.

Did you try several different settings or programs? Did any particular settings group seem to work better in that "busy" place?
Thanks.
