I don't post a whole lot of my finds, but today was decent day for me and I know that 75% of use are going crazy waiting for the ground to thaw, so I wanted to bring a little excitement into everyone's life. lol.
I got out today and did more than just kick a little dirt. First time in 3 weeks i was able to commit get myself a little dirty. I went to two places right down the road from one another. The first place I must have detected 7-8 times with 2 different machines in the past and didn't really expect to find anything. I was using the Deus with 13" coil and I played around and was able to tighten up some of the signals.
I found a 1906 V nickel a Buffalo nickel and also one Wheat cent. Amazingly this is the first wheat I have dug on this lot, but in the past I've found a silver spoon, two silver dimes 2 older Jefferson nickels and a dateless V nickel. I think the Buffalo from today is a 1913 because the Buffalo is standing on a mound. I can just almost make a date out of it.
Other than that, I went back to a sidewalk that I've detected hard with my CTX and found this 1946 Jefferson nickel and a memorial/wheat penny spill at 8 inches. Total it was 4 wheats and 4 memorials. I have no idea how I missed it before. I think the Deus just tightens up some of the signals that the CTX doesn't quite lock on.
I'm amazed at our weather. We had 20 degree temperatures last week and next Tuesday we have a high of 70 degrees. Anyway good luck to everyone.
