Hey guys,

Picked up a Deus to overcome the Safari's challenges with iron infested homestead sites and was not disappointed. I had hit this site in the past with my minelab, but was unable to pick through the layers of iron that remained from a home that burn down shortly after the civil war. After configuring the machine to full tones to mimic my minelab, it certainly did not disappoint. The site turned up the original wrought iron rim lock, a spoon, door knobs, water pump component, buckles, and a two piece button. After venturing out onto the adjacent hunting property, fantastic coins began popping out of the ground. The day's count was 6 wheaties, 4 indians, and a buffalo nickel. While the Deus doesn't stand up well against the minelab on mineralized shorelines, it definitely dominates inland.

Very cool finds!
 

Cool finds! I have witnessed the opposite experience as you actually. What minelab were you using?
 

Nice Finds!
 

Yeap, theres nothing on close on the market that matches the Deus recovery/reactivity rate! Congrats
 

We got us some phat lewtz right'cheer! :laughing7:

I'm beginning to understand my Deus better, and I like what you are saying about the Deus being a terrific land machine, vmiairpwr07. Most of my permissions around my AO is mid-1700's to late 1800's, and they are all super iron-infested nightmares to hunt. I'm looking forward to knowing my Deus better, and learning how to set it up with tones.
 

Very nice finds. Congrats.
 

great hunt, great finds
