Hi,
First I'd like to say if anyone is considering to upgrade to the XP Deus, do it, you will not be disappointed.
So this was the 4th time I took the Deus out, been learning the machine in my yard, found about 20 coins my other detector missed. I decided to go back in the woods where I have a few spots that a pretty riddled with iron, not positive what the sites were, early 1900's I'm guessing from the V nickels, IHP's and barber dimes I have found. These seven 1945 Pitman-Moore Rabies Vaccine tags I found were the 2nd target I dug, they are in numerical sequence, 24692-24700 (missing 24798). I'm guessing whoever dropped these was a vaccinator? Any other ideas please let me know what you think.
So it was getting late, I was hungry and the coyotes started howling thanks to a fire truck that blew its siren. Had about a 10 minute walk down the path out of the woods, then another 5 minutes through my field to my house. Now I know I cant be the only one who has detected a path 50 times walking in and out to your spots you pound. Well I didn't turn my detector back on until I got to my field, although I thought to myself "you have detected this 4 wheeler path 50 times, why bother". An upgraded machine is why. So I get a real nice semi shallow hit right on the tire path, (you can see the hole on the right side tire path)
it seemed to big to be a coin, plus how could I miss a coin since I've ran detectors down this path 50 times before. The Deus will (sometimes, not sure why just sometimes) ring up large iron, like washers, as coins. Anyway in my mind, new detector = dig. I'm glad I did. The coin was standing up on it's edge about 5 inches down in clay below the topsoil, couldn't believe it. The only downside is that someone did something to this beauty, to me it looks as if someone put the coin between a nail and hammered it with something. The odd thing is that on the reverse there's a pimple where the nail or whatever it was trying to push through, something you wouldn't expect from a hammer blow. Plus there's an odd pattern on the reverse where the pimple is, not sure what happened here, any ideas? Thanks for any thoughts!
