Double Bi-fecta with my new machine - earlier seated

[Scrappy]

My CTX has been gone for three weeks now and I got a little randy to hunt. So I bought a basic Deus. No frills.

I spent yesterday reading and learning, followed by a 1/2 hr field test.

Today I went to my 1671 Church. Pounded by me and some of my friends. I went straight for an iron infested area I never really bothered with since it overwhelmed my CTX. Nuff said, here are the results.
First target was a War Nickle - my first of the year.

Is that cud I see on it? I know nothing of coin errors...

Second (good target) was a V-nick, followed by a seated dime in decent shape and a barber in not-so-decent shape.


Here's all the other stuff...


I'm excited to see what else is in here. I believe the iron is a result of an 1859 addition, but maybe there's some colonial hiding in there yet. I'll figure it out on another day that it isn't 95 degrees...

I'm real happy with the deus for starts. Strangely I felt pretty comfortable. I didn't have a fancy program, just P2 or P3 at 12 KHz/ GB at 89/Sens at 90.

Could I have found all that in the trash pile with the CTX?
-maybe, but I doubt it.


Enjoy,

Stay hydrated

The iron beast. Congrats. You keep pulling that shallow junk metal out and I'm afraid youre going to have another cob in your hands.

Are you gonna ride the deus the rest of summer?

 

[WildWildBill]

No arrows variety.....I believe to be slightly rarer. Great saves!

Congratualtions on the new machine and the productive hunt!

Do I need to add this machine to my collection...

Great start buddy! Glad you're liking the machine and I know it'll keep turning up the goods for you. Can't wait to see what you find at your other spots.

Heyyyy buddy! It's great to see you back on Tnet! I think there is some old stuff back there. If you look in the junque pile closely you'll see two rose head nails...

Thx for looking bud

Thanks Art, but it's your night. That gold coin is super sweet. You must be over the moon!

Well well well. Armed with the CTX and the DEUS means there is no stopping you now. I have found with the Deus that I dig more iron, but it certainly finds the good stuff my other machines just couldn't pick up.

Excellent finds, and enjoy the new machine!

Thx Brad, and yep, I'll need to revisit some of my old iron bound spots now.

Thx J. I definitely was digging a bit more iron and some caps making high tones. I just have the little hockey puck control so I don't get ID's so it's just beep=dig

WOW Scrappy! Congrats on the really nice finds. I am glad to see that the Deus is working for you.

That seated dime is rally sweet. I can hardly wait to see what you find next. Best of luck to you sir!
