4 hr woods hunt, Merc and 5 wheats!

[treblehunter]

Second day of hunting with my new Deus, first day don't count because I didn't ground balance right. lol haaaaa. Yesterday I only hunted two hours, one hour at the spot I was at today.


Nice hunt, seen deer, beautiful weather and I seen this box turtle (I like turtles!)



I was hunting for awhile with no real finds when I got to this area I had found a wheat last year hunting with Oldjerseygirl. So I tighten it up a bit and hit a wheat, then I started gridding, hit the 1939 Merc next then four more wheats.
Enjoy the pix

I'm running a program that J. Vance helped me load, George has been running this same program. That program is for running in iron infestation. From what Iv'e seen and what I have been told, in iron you can't beat it. I have been reading Sabisch's book, and according to them and Deus, that machine can be set up for whatever conditions your hunting. I believe it. I'm sure once I completely learn how to do that, I will have a serious machine to hunt with. My opinion about the CTX is it is a deep silver monster and what it tells you is gospel truth. I know you can make the Deus waterproof, but the CTX already is waterproof. I bet the CTX could be set up for any type of conditions just like the Deus. Its nice having three machines I can carry in my new golf bag,lol Time will tell, and there will be times I will check each machine against each other. At this point, Both are super machines.

Congratulations on your first silver with the Deus!!

I truly and honestly believe the CTX 3030 and Deus are the two best machines on the market currently. I think if I were hunting farm fields I would use the CTX with the 17" coil and over the shoulder harness as that thing is a heavy beast.

If I were hunting around home sites with a lot of iron and trash the Deus with either the 9" or 11" coil would be the way to go.

Something you might want to try Brad is to set up your machine in the Relic mode when in a heavily iron rich site. Walk away till you find some clean, target free ground, set your ground balance there and leave it fixed at that setting. Don't change it when you walk back to the site with all the iron. The Deus is exceptional at "deciphering" what it sees and by that I mean you will often times get an initial beep like it's found a target. But the next pass you get the iron grunt because it analyzed it and determined it to be iron. When hunting like this when you do get a solid, repeatable signal...DIG IT!

Did your buddy Carolina Tom explain to you how to determine if a coin sized target is a bottle cap or a good target yet?

Good luck with your new toy!
