Today I only had a 2.5 hour hunt without Dad, so I wanted to try the Deus 11" Depth capability. My choice was a nearby ridge & furrow pasture field with 15 grazing Cows. The reason was that it's the only 'never' (except in the Medieval period) ploughed field that I know that I could reach the 17th C with the XP GMP & I wanted to see if the Deus could do any better.
It's very rare that I do grass land but I really enjoy digging a 7inch turf flap & still hearing the find deeper. Although I got back into the 17th C the only really deep objects at 12-13inches were the lead weights & scrap lead.
It was a good test & the results are below:
Blank 17th C Jetton
17th C Pot Leg
18th C Furniture Decor
Collar Stud
Nice 1660-1720 Buckle
17th C Lead Cloth Seal - Nice & complete (another indicator its not been ploughed) & with hand carved numbers on the reverse. (often to do with yards of cloth left or...)
