No rain forecast today, so it rained.
Spent 3 hours gridding uncovered land & 15 minutes covering the area the gold hammered came from, just incase.

More great finds, Hammered! Are you sure you're taking your time grinding the area? 'Cuz if these are popping up where you've already been ...

i'll be coming to the UK in March 2017 and I wonder if you would tell me your Deus settings? This way i could start playing around with the settings now to get used to them.
Thanks

Not sure what you mean? My focus on this new field we got last year, is to do a 100% grid of the total field. After which point we will have a full GPS picture of the field & its better finds.
At the moment the lumpy conditions are far from perfect, so the 15 minutes I spent going over the area that the gold hammered came from was good enough for now.
We now have so much good land to choose from, this will be the last visit for some time.

I have a hear all dig most style. The idea is simple, dig as much trash (everything over 10) & recover it as quickly as possible. My style will not bring benefits if you;
kneel on the ground
use a pin-pointer
take longer than 30 seconds to recover the item (from beep-pouch)

I think that's my point, it's doesn't work for most & is my secret to success. (suffer from hyper-activity) Speed = more acres gridded = more finds

The settings should work fine, then you can decide what's best for you.
