Went to a yard permission that I had hunted earlier this summer with the F75. This time I unleashed the Deus
(still learning). Dug a little clad and a lot of trash to better assist in learning the VDI scale in 12 Khz. Dug way more trash than targets, hoping for Dues's 1st gold.
After hitting the front and side yards, I took a water & cig break. I noticed the neighbor on his back porch and struck up a conversation. Well I don't have to tell you what was on my mind.
We had a good chat and he gave me a YES!!!
He has lived there all but a year since his birth and stated that the property had never been hunted.
The house was built in the early 1900s. I put the Dues up and grabbed my trusty F75 LTD SE. I hit the front and side yards and only dug clad. I then started on the back yard by the garage and noticed that many VDI groups had been notched out. WTF
I reset the detector to factory default settings and then re hunted the front and side in a different direction. My 1st good target was the 1945 D nickel.
Moments later the 1949-D quarter appeared in a plug.
After about 2 hours of detecting I showed Dennis what I had found and got the okay to come back anytime I want to finish the back lot. Even though it's a new permission I decided to go finish up the one that I dug that gorgeous silver ring. Pulled a lot of clad, I was hunting the gravel in the garage hopping for a buffalo, Indian or some silver. I did pull the tootsie toy from the yard and finally called it a day.
In the picture, the tile on the left is what I dug with the Deus. The top of the right tile are the new permission finds and the lower right are what I pulled from the last site.

It sure feels nice to have two back to back silver days... it's been a while. My goal is 60 for the year and I am only at 31.
As always, I hope ya'll got out and swung the coil
today.
