Ok I may have slipped off to do a little detecting for a couple of hours. I decided to take a different approach today. Rather than hunting a spot that I haven't been to, I decided to swing by an older 2 story brick home that I scored 3 Silver dimes at a couple years back. I have hunted this yard with both My CTX, and Equinox 800.
I decided to set the Deus2 up in Deep HC with the notches set to only accept Nickels, Wheats, and up. I didn't want to bother with the Indian range and the trash that goes with them due to My time restraint.
I started in the main front yard. About 5 minutes in I had pulled 3 copper Lincolns. I was trying to learn the way it hit on high conductors, and digging scratchy ones as long as I could get them to come in back and forth, faint ones as well. I had the target volume at 4; Reactivity 1.5; Sensitivity 98.
I started hitting deep Wheats. 6-10". This really surprised Me. I just kept going. By the time I made it to the outer curb strip I had already found 8 Wheats.😳
By the time I made It to the second pass I got a faint but solid 91-92. Out pops a Merc!! By this time I'm , well , you know🤦🏼♂️
So anyway by the time I finished up the front, including curb strips, I ended up with 11 Wheats and 2 Mercs. I don't know what to say. I'm sure I had My other 2 machines dialed in. I just don't know, but very happy with this hunt!!! Silver#15fty!

Wheats-1946D;1911;1944D;1949D;1919D;

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!!!!!
