Well I went out yesterday to do a little playing with the new detector.
Getting to the site I realized I forgot my shovel-return trip home.
The control wouldn't turn on-ZILCH!
Grabbed the Deus 1 and grumbled along.
Called the dealer and he said plug it in-"I'm in the field"
So I plugged it in on the charger last night-2+hrs for it to come alive.
13.5 hrs on the charger-take it off-zilch-put it back on the charger-it works-off the charger-ZILCH
Battery is hashed-or some other glitch.
So now the hassles of getting it replaced.
Not is all lost after playing for awhile at a hard hit spot I decided to look at another permission's fields next door.
Not done yet-but on the corner of the intersection at the far end I noticed a flat area in the bush.
So I investigated-nothing but I went out into corn field, as I was going back to the truck.
The deer and the coons had taken a strip of corn down, and there was brick, glass, and bits of sheet copper/brass.
Iron targets that date the undocumented site as being pretty old.
So now the wait for the harvest as detecting in 8ft corn is a tad challenging.
