Some folks may think it's a hoax.
Is it?
I will tell my story here and post a pic.
You all can decide for yourselves.
Alright I have this rather large old site (100 acres) in total, but over the last 6 years plus I have been hunting what I believe to be the key areas based on where structures stood, where the old town was ( town was deactivated around 1817) and some Intel gathered by another detectorist who lives nearby.
I have ran some nice, very good detectors in these keys areas, Deus with both 9" and 11" LF coils a bunch.
How many silver anythings did I find with Deus and LF coils??
Notta
Previously before I got wrapped into Deus unit, I found 4 mercs and one Spanish 2 bit and 1 engagement or wedding ring silver with Etrac, 1 one bit Spanish bit with CTX and stock coil. Both of these bits found with Minelab were deep,,like 10" deep.
Need to add here, one war nickel found in one of the key areas with Nokta Impact and small coil, this find actually broke a long dry silver steak here.
Like I said other detectors run in these keys areas, used smaller coils on them as well.
Again nothing notta silver anything found.
Fast forward to Deus and HF coil, remember I haven't had this coil very long, and I had to try and get proficient using it.
So far using it in these key areas, a total of 3 silvers found,,a 1 bit Spanish, an even smaller bit Spanish, and a half dime today.
This HF coil is what I call a vacuum cleaner.
In an old site where modern trash is limited, you turn this baby loose get ready to search and destroy a site.
No joking here, and I don't want to insinuate this coil finds all nonferous in iron,,,but it does extremely well both in open ground and in nail pits.
Depth too in my ground is very good for HF coils size.
It is quiet running in the hot program.
I am not telling anyone to buy this coil.
I don't work for XP either.
But I can say in old civil war sites, old home sites,,,,even if they are hard hunted previously, don't discount this coil as finding a goodie or 2 left behind.
This coil has the ability to when it breaks over iron shallow to really punch down and give a person separation to boot.
I run 28.8khz mainly, I think this is where the performance is for relic hunters, old coin hunters too in hard busted sites.
Any site that has been good to a person in the past, this coil just might smoke more out.
The gold coins even the tiny $1 gold is sure in trouble moreso when someone is swinging one of these coils and has it set up correctly for soil and site.
Even a reactivity setting of 2.5 with -1 silencer, this coil can latch on to a 10" dime.
The audio this coil provides is very telling in polluted sites, much more intelligent than the 9" LF coil and even the round HF coil (I have the round HF too).
If a person gets a chance to hunt with someone using the elliptical, I think you'll come away liking it very much.
The key is use in a site with little or no modern trash.
For the record here I have loads of detecting time (I think since 2013, maybe 2012)using Deus LF coils, not much though since acquiring the HF coils.
Will post a pic of the old silver finds found this far using.
