Well you certainly have the best equipment now.
Just need the time on the Deus to experience the abilities of the detector.
I have dug in dirt around Colchester 8X = 1000hrs approximately.
So quite familiar with the fields and the amazing range of history on can dig in a single hunt.
I've been using the Deus ll for a year now, still learning how to use it to its best capabilities.

Yeah I’ve been getting used to it, I have set a program I use now that sounds similar to the Minelab, found a range of coins and buttons including my smallest hammered coin so far. I need to set it for deeper stuff tho.

As for the field, I’ve been searching it for a month now, got Celtic to 1944 so far, can’t remember the shilling date. Oldest series of finds are 1500s to 1600s then 1800s n newer with a couple 1700s and the 100-150bc Celtic coin

Time to try to talk my brother into driving me around to do some metal detecting lol. I need a break and it's my day off from work. I don't care if it's only a couple of parks I get to hit as long as I can dig lol

 

[oldmxrat]

Uninspiring?

You obviously don’t know what it’s like to dig nothing but fence pieces and square nails. 🤪 I see that as a great day of digging. Congrats 🎉

Thanks WD! I suppose I should be a little more appreciative.

You can always tell Ai generated images of humans because it can never get the hands right.
Unfortunately, other than that, the pic looks pretty accurate for our future.

Hey I like square nails I hardly find them around here lol. I actually keep the things because I don't really find them lol

 

[oldmxrat]

Hope you have a great dig today John!
If you ever find yourself in Reno I can show you where to find buckets full of square nails, no detector needed!

Lol I'm sure. In my area I just don't find sites old enough to have them

 

[oldmxrat]

Do you hunt in Turlock? Pretty old town if I remember correctly.

I have a pile going that I'm collecting from my yard. I figure that by the time I'm done I'll have enough to build another house.

I've never got to don't live far at all from there. But me not driving limits me often. I often will walk long distances just to be able to get a hunt or two in lol. I'm stubborn

Off to the chiropractor to get my neck bones adjusted. I’m so glad they don’t do it like this anymore!

View attachment 2110733

Wait , they don't? Seems pretty much how mine went pre covid still.
My chiropractor called it his ....I forgot. But it was a Hollywood type neck breaking deal.
i knew I should have dug into his credentials better!

Miss that man. Neck could stand an adjustment today.
But....Arteries and more have been injured during neck manipulations once in a while. (Not mine! Or to his credit that I know of.) So I don't make it a habit anymore.

 

[releventchair]

The case of far/near looking. 🤣
I'm going with that one.

I figured she'd just lost the top pair. She'll find them eventually. Probably.
