Good job guys, looks like yall had a blast. It was definitely a hot one Saturday.
Went through 4 bottled waters and a 32oz Gatorade Saturday.
Sorry I couldn't make it. Had a buddy I was supposed to hunt with down here that backed out on me last minute.
I ended up going to a field down here I that sampled Wednesday evening. Will post pics later.
My best advice on learning any new machine is going to a target rich area and dig everything i.e. schools, churches, beaches, etc.
Yall ever goto Sardis Lake? When I lived in Hberg, I remem people always mentioning that place.
Slad-Nickels usually ring up in the gold/alum range. I tend to avoid digging nicks sometimes, because there is so much can-slaw and Katrina debris in this area; however, im prob missing some good finds. Havent mastered the nicks on the DEUS yet, but on the V3i, and the E-trac it seemed like they were almost unmistakable. I agree with muerte, the nicks usually lock up tight on the numbers from both directions, maybe only varying a digit if that.
muerte-The deus is definitely light. I get my only fatigue from the heat and digging holes. I hear the CTX is great, but weighs a ton, and its really pricey.
