do you understand silencer ,reactivity etc ? what I mean is have you read anything on the settings? Gary has some great videos there call deus expert training videos they are worth their weight in gold starting out.

You mean I have to go LOOK at it? Dealer brought it to my house the other day, has been trying to sell me one for a couple years now or so, he was in my lawn 5 freaking minutes and found a 14k gold ring. I bought the machine.

 

[Rogue Relic Hunter]

he prob planted the ring. but, its a great machine anyway.

 

[Calabash Digger]

the machine has away of doing that when I got mine I went some of my hunting partners hunted out sites and he found out they were not so hunted out lol A spanish cob ,vermont copper, waqr of 1812 artilerist button he broke on that one and said call them! that is the deus dealer lol

 

[Calabash Digger]

thats funny rogue!

 

[smokeythecat]

No, the ring belonged to the former property owner. Knew them pretty well. Recognized it right off. He gave it to me and I'm going to give it to the original property owner's daughter. The guy who owned it is deceased. This is the XP Deus, I believe it's the latest software version, mid 2016 model, WS4 wireless headphones and everything but surface to air missiles on it. Think it's the 3.2 software and it had 12 or 13 preset programs in it.

 

[Rogue Relic Hunter]

was only kidding about planting the ring, but i was a salesman for awhile so i am very skeptical. i have the same one you purchased, the WS4 headphones. i ordered a cover for the remote from the UK which is really nice but still not here yet. slow over there. put calabash's program on there, it is my go to program. that and relic 2. calabash mentioned gary's videos. if u have not seen those, watch all 10. they are great videos.

I started watching them yesterday. Also got a huge book written about the thing. The dealer is taking me to his special site Saturday am then we're going to mine. I'll have someone to help for a bit. For me, it's the quest, not the having. But I've have a VERY GOOD YEAR so far.

 

[Rogue Relic Hunter]

glad you had a great year. bet it gets better with your new Deus. cant wait to see tons of great finds posted.

 

[smokeythecat]

Be interesting to see what I find in my "hunted out" pair of Civil War camps. So far this year four plates, two Union, two Confederate, all shockers, about 70 buttons but only 1 Confederate, a complete spur, 150 or so bullets, Union and a few Confederate, stoneware ink bottle, two heel plates, five axes, one canteen (toasted), several porcelain buttons, keys, kepi and other small buckles, carved bullets, a few musket caps, two musket tools, only 1 silver coin, 500,000 pieces of ration cans, five almost complete ration cans, a few knives, forks and spoons, several shell frags, a few older copper coins, 5 pounds of camp lead, hundreds of nails and pieces of broken bottles, a kepi vent, big iron barrell straps and I forget what else. I donated a lot of the commoner stuff to a local museum.

 

[Calabash Digger]

the old home sites I hunt are not that lucrative I wouldnt know how to act in a place like that

 

[Rogue Relic Hunter]

From what others have said on TN and YouTube about the Deus, I expect your recovery list is going to grow further. However, that is ALREADY a really impressive list of civil war finds. great that you donated some to a local museum also. we have a new revolutionary war museum in Yorktown. I have been thinking about donating my revolutionary war musket ball.

i still love me an old home site. you cant beat those. i have actively been looking for them in the woods, colonial ones. no luck lately.

 

[Calabash Digger]

very very very hard to find.

 

[Rogue Relic Hunter]

very very very hard to find.

if finding and digging colonial home sites were easy, they'd call it coin shooting.

Hard not to buy when the dealer pulls gold from your own yard! LOL.

I bet he used to be a Kirby salesman.

 

[Rogue Relic Hunter]

in a way, the Deus IS a Kirby. The Kirby of metal detecting! (NOT in Yellowstone though).

They don't all come with cellars.
A dent in the ground larger then an old tree fall. Or an area the produces more buttons and such. Not always nails and tin roofs to leave traces either.
Just an area with more noise then normal.

 

[smokeythecat]

Extremely hard to find. That's digging about 10 hours a week over a full year. Most of the good items were simply missed by other diggers, I wasn't the first one at either of my sites. All of the plates were next to trees and were either under, above, or next to either aluminum cans or big parts of ration cans.
