First Hunt

[HuntinDog]

First time out with my new Deus II.
Half hour in my yard.
I've beat this place to death with the Deus I. Every once in a while, I find a good target, but it is tough.

I tried attaching a short 15 second video to show what I'm dealing with, but it's too large.
This yard is a battlefield of rusty square nails and rusty tin scrap plus all the other ferrous metals in the ground.
But for what I found in that short hunt I'm very impressed.

Got a Citrate bottle digging the Iron bowl it's sitting in.
A couple buttons, thimble, couple bullets, a token, Chinese cash coin, 1928s wheat, wick adjuster and some odds and ends.
The cash coin is Shih Tsung 1723-1735
The wick adjuster has PAT Nov25 72 * PAT Feb 11 73
The Wheat is 1928S
The Token is Henry Jones Foresthill Cal / Good For 1 Drink
And the thimble is brass.. darn it

I only ran it in General preset program, so it will be interesting what I can do with it when I learn it.
I have to agree... first blush, this is a great machine.

Awesome, great maiden forage. What coil do you have- 9 or 11? By the way, One of my best ever finds is a colonial gold open thimble in perfect condition.

I opted for the 9" coil.
Now all I need is time to use it.
