First few hunts with the Deus

[rebbel31]

Like the new machine so far. Compared to my v3i it's like a feather. The swing speed is great, can cover alot more area.
Here's a few coins I found. 2 small silver kreuzers 1856 and 1864. The other silver is from 1770 not sure what it is yet. Was surprised to find the 40 Wheatie, not to far from the 38 nazi pfennig.



If anyone know what the twist tie looking thing is, looks old, and the buttons I'd appreciate the info. Found a couple silver rings one is huge with maybe diamonds. Definitely liking the machine! Thanks for looking.

You're doing good with the new machine! Buying a Deus was a wise decision.

Lou I think I'm about ready for iron fields. Let me know if you are going to do a weekend hunt sometime!

Your unknown silver: German States-Wurttemberg, Karl Eugen as Duke (1744-1793), 1 Kreuzer,

The button with the bomb (or pineapple like thing) is french military button - sapper/Grenadiers regiment.

Congrats on the deus! I also have the Deus & the White's V3!

Maybe the one with the 4 is French too? They both had AMD on the back. Anyway thanks for the ID

@Ben;
''Hey rebel, got mine last week. What programs/settings are you using? I am mainly going out in Forests in Romania now, I tried the fast and Gmaxx stock programs, both making me dig a lot a lot of good sounding iron (although they should come in as iron tone) I tried the deep program which is a bit better but also lots of iron, even shallow iron. (the iron comes in as high tone instead of iron tone)
I really want to learn this machine as I know it is a killer but just wondering if I might be doing something wrong. With the ctx I can identify iron 95% of the cases... Keep up the good work!''

I had the same issue. Iron is not as easily understood by the tones of this machine. You have to get used to it, the programs make little difference. Only hours spent will help. I used to think iron nails sounded OK, now I know they are nail but often clear them anyway.

Possible. AMD refers to the manufacturer.. I've seen the button before, but can't recall anything about it right now.

By the way, if you feel iron is a problem at times, try using "pitch" on the Deus. Set disc to about 5-10 or what you like and iron volume to 2-3.
You can modify the Gold Max Power, Deus fast or which ever program you fancy.

Probably will still end up digging more iron then with the V3, needs a bit of adjusting to get used to the sounds.

Congrats on some very nice finds! That Deus is really light & very fast response time. Great machine!
