I went to a ghost town/mine that I have hit hard this last several months purposely to test the ability of the D2.
So, did it live up to the hype?
Well, the last couple of times I hunted this spot I was hard pressed to get a signal worth digging with the Legend. With the D2 I was pulling jean rivets from 6 inches down in ground covered in nails!
While I didn't find any coins, I'm shocked by how many targets I had missed before. And I don't know this detector at all yet.
The little brooch is Sterling silver. A nice little surprise. I need to test the metal blob, it's too heavy for aluminum and too shiny to be lead.
Finally saw my first desert tortoise! I've found two empty shells in the past. This guy was an old timer, with a shell as big as a dinner plate, he is likely 70 years old or more.
All in all I consider it a definite winner of a first outing with the Deus and look forward to getting more familiar with it.
