Popular Post Condor Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 I took about a half hour with the D2 on visible schist bedrock that was loaded with trash and steel bits from the original blade that pushed this gully. I tested the D2 with a .3 gram nugget. It hit 33 to 36 TID in the Goldfield program. The machine ran quiet and separated the trash from nonferrous quite well with the 11" coil. It locked on 2 small lead fragments that ID'd at 40. Close enough that that I was pretty confident if any half grammars were present it would have sniffed them out. Naturally, it would not be my go to gold detector, especially in this configuration with the 11" coil. But, I was impressed with its ability to run in heavy ferrous trash and convincingly hit on the nonferrous lead. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Condor Posted March 30, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 As always, Rye Patch is tough sledding. I eked out enough with the 6000 to buy about half tank of diesel. Today's price at Rye Patch $5.19. I don't know why the photos are always inverted here and I'm not savy enough to fix them. Oh well turn your head sideways, enjoy. 20 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tho the photos look ok in gallery, I have to edit each one (just crop them a tiny bit) and save them before uploading. Drives me nuts but here we are. Nice gold! 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldseeker5000 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Condor, I am having the same problem with the photos uploading sideways. Really annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bado1 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I've swung the original Deus with the high frequency coil (not the super high frequency elliptical coil) in the gold program in Quartzite and found gold with it in very shallow trashy areas. Like you stated...not my first choice of detector to hunt gold with (I'm not a fan of VLFs for my style of hunting gold) but it will do in certain situations. Good work on your nugs!

Nice gold! 👍 It’s the orientation info that some phones embed in the photo. Like you say, edit, save, upload, usually does the trick. Which I just did to Steve’s pic to fix it. Does not really matter how you edit it. It resets the orientation info, which phones seem to get wrong sometimes, especially when looking down instead out straight out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
