So today was my second time out with the Deus, again I went to spots I have pounded the snot out of. Around an old house where I found my oldest IH cent a few years ago, I managed to pull up a wheat, two newer pennies, a 1990 quarter, and the cool iron maple leaf. The design is very old, was happy to dig it.
Then I headed over to my wife's uncle's place. On one side of him is an empty lot that used to have an old church, on the other side is an empty lot that I own, used to have a billiard hall/barber shop back around 1900. I started at my lot, which I figured nothing was left. I did dig a few odds and ends, a little buckle, copper pipe pieces etc., but no keepers. Then, walking the old sidewalk over to the other lot I hit a nice high tone. It read 97, then the other direction 97 again. Weird because the sidewalk is basically a grass path, the grass has grown over the sidewalk, which I think was asphalt. The top few inches are dirt, then it's like this old crumbly disintegrated asphalt underneath, it's hard to make out signals in it. I have walked this path countless times going from lot to lot, swinging my old detectors. I was shocked to see a 1936s silver Washington come out of that black gritty asphalt remains.
Man, I can't wait to take this machine to a spot I have never hunted before!
