Got out on Saturday here in N. Virginia lovely low 70 degree day mid November to a battle/camp site that we’ve pounded for the past 10 years with multiple machines . But this was the first time at this site since December 2021 and first time with the Deus 2.
After 8 hours of digging I finished with 2 dropped .58 three ringers/one with a swag base; first in a long time -both were mere whispers 80-84 range ID using General Program at 8-10 inches, 2 flat button full of gold gilt, part of a pewter spoon and a General service Eagle cuff at 6 plus inches in heavy iron that locked solid ID 62.
Although not earth shattering finds wise; I am extremely impressed with these recoveries as this section has been pounded through the years. Why were there finds not recovered previously-due to heavy iron masking. The XP Deus engineers did their home work before releasing this bad boy last December in Europe and the US early 2022 when I received my Deus 2 mid February .
Two observations:
A) IMHO I believe the iron separation is much better than the original Deus. I dug this cuff button at 6 plus inches in heavy iron but when the Deus 2 saw the target it Locked on solid 62 all the way and I knew I had a button before I dug it.
B) IMHO I believe it is deeper than the original Deus. I’m going back to this site on Saturday with my buddy and hope to sniff out more civil war relics. Happy digging Deus 2 users
