I noticed that I could now regain access to the old schoolyard where I scored my first two silvers ever including my one and only Walker. This spot is one of the few in my area that I know has been hit hard over the years. I managed a few deep wheats and a measured 10" 1946 nickel. The merc was suprisingly shallow thus I didnt take care and knicked it. Its worn anyway

I then went to the courthouse where I have found nothing but a 53 quarter in past hunts. First time with the Deus though and got a few whisper hits that ended up being colonial coppers :hello2: The KG II is really nice with a date of 1747 I believe. The other appears to be a toasted KG III

Nice old coppers and silver. It's crazy when older silver is so shallow like that.

Congrats on those finds. :occasion14: It seems to me that the XP Deus has made old sites produce again.

Love the Deus. I had already been through this area with an atpro and vaquero. Both pretty good detectors. We have had a lot of rain this spring. So that may have helped
