Deus XP 3.2
Great find, 13 coins total with 10 silver. All were in a small area of the woods. The silver coins are extremely thin and fragile. The copper one cleaned up pretty well. The Deus XP was used for this hunt and I was surprised it detected the thin coins. Most coins were at about 6 in depth. Deus XP is really making this a great year. Silver coins cleaned with vinegar and q tip. Coopers cleaned with light olive oil and toothpick.

Happy to see some nice finds. Old coppers and silver are what we need.
 

Wow, I would love that. Congrats!
 

Great finds !
One of them (middle coin bottom left pic) appears to be a 1682 German States Sayn=-Wittgenstein-Kreuzer, 1 Pfennig.

Great silvers Iroc! These are mostly broken in the fields, you are lucky to have them in the woods. Very nice pocket spill. I like the condition of the Albus, great!

Why are you surprised, the Deus is designed to get small thin silver coins in a bunch of nails.:icon_scratch: I've had hammered qrters which make those coins look huge.
 

Great day out congrats!
 

Crusader, first coin signal for the area was just a fragments or more flake from the coin. I was going pretty fast thru the woods. I have 18 moths of Deus usage, it's been great. One coin broke during the cleaning process. I am also coming to England for the Deus 2016 Summer Rally

You have about the same hours as me. I'm now in the zone, & this year should really produce.
 

Great pieces of 17th century silver! :treasurechest::thumbsup:
