I pulled the trigger and purchased another Deus. I had saved my notes and a program's from when I owned one 3 years ago so it was easy getting off to a quick start. I decided to try a couple spots that are filled with iron and that I've hit several times with the V3i, Etrac and CTX. The first is an old resort ballfield. My first good signal was a deep wheat 8+ inches, a good sign. I concentrated on the deep ones and was surprised by what I had missed. My first silver was a Rosie 1962, then I got a 1907 V nickel at about 7 inches. The surprise of the hunt was a coin spill at about 6 inches. It was only coming in at about 70 on the VDI scale and that is why the coins I got were a surprise. The first was a 45-D war nickel, second a 42 Merc and the last was a 42 Walking Liberty. Wow!! What a surprise. I rounded out the nickels by hitting the trifecta with a 1936 Buffalo. I also found 8 wheats.
The next hunt was my go to spot, the old grove. Here I loaded a high trash program and hit a couple areas that are loaded with trash, a challenge for any machine. I dug a couple clad coins and a bunch of junk while working on what the Deus was trying to tell me. I finally got a good deep repeatable signal in the low 70's, it turned out to be an 1894 Indian. After the trash I decided to take a hike in the woods and give myself a break from all the digging. I found 1 relic a toe tap and two pieces of jewelry. The first was a cross with some type of religious medal in the center. The second was a locket with a child's rosary inside of it. It looks silver but the numbers did not match what silver that size would produce. There are also no markings on it. A cool and unique find anyway.
