Yep, went to a park that has produced Silver time after time. It had been 9 hunts since I last came home with a silver coin.
Yesterday I loaded up the DEUS and headed out for a marathon hunt. Ten hours and about 3 pounds of trash, finally had the DEUS singing over a 1953d Silver Roosevelt Dime.
I am a nickel digger. I have dug 323 nickels so far this year. I know as do many of you guys that nickel and gold signals can overlap one another. With the DEUS, the solid "64" signal, (in 18hz), will usually be a nickel. I will give it a few notches down to about 60. Higher than 64 is usually a pull tab. Yesterday I got a "60" and went after it. It turned out to be a watch case that I just threw into my pouch and went on with the hunt.
When I got home and started to clean my finds. I realized that the DEUS had found it's first piece of gold. On the back of the little ladies watch,
I found, "14 K GOLD D & A."
The D & A stands for DiVincenzo and Arient. The "White" Gold is why I didn't check the watch when I dug it.
My finds for the hunt turned up a few older wheat pennies, including a 1914 and a 1917.

Congratualtions on the gold and silver find! :occasion14:

Like I always say "if your not digging nickels and pull tabs (higher end of foil for small gold wedding bands), your not finding gold".

Congrats on the sweet gold watch and the silver. I can see why you took the Deus, it sure is easier to swing for 10 hours than the CTX.

Thanks Andy,
We need to get together somewhere upstate. I'm looking at perhaps booking a weekend that may get us some Large Cents and big Silver.

I ran into Danny from New Jersey. He has a CTX and told me he ran into 2 guys swinging detectors on the great lawn.
Once he described your moustache, I knew it was you. lol

Yep. that was me. Didn't find much. A couple of Indians including an 1864, couple of shield nickels and a piece of silver from a spoon or fork. I'll be posting some recent finds.

A 10 hour hunt really put's you in the Zone, and put's your mind into that 'Closed off to the Point' just like a "Marathon" runner's Mindset.
Pretty Relaxing IMO, esp when you Score Gold & Silver.
