Ryan and Steve make a good team…great products. 👍🏻😊

Outstanding!!!

Another nice outing.  That rider button and coins are interesting “finds of the day” 

Good job soldier…..🫡

🫡.  Outstanding !!!

I’m with F350.  I have exactly the same shovel.  Can’t go wrong with that one

Glad to see your Relic program treated you so well!  👏🏻🫡

Now, can anybody give me some tips on hunting in Aluminum trash?🙃

I think I can give a top tip if you’re talking about beach hunting….you simply dig it!  🤣

Over the many years I’ve tried numerous ways to ignore it, discriminate it, and notch it in order to find the goodies hiding around it.  What I finally concluded is the most reliable way to ensure you get the goodies that are interspersed with aluminum trash is to dig it.  👍🏻😂😂

Great detective work Bob!  😊

The walking liberty and pin made the effort worthwhile in my view.  🫡

Your “good” days = superior for most folks.  😊

As I’ve said before, you live in the epicenter of US metal detecting, you use the best equipment on the market and you know what you’re doing!!!  🫡👍🏻

Soldier on…..

probably more than you wanted to know.  🥴

I looked that up and it looks like WWII era  made by a company called Auld in Columbus, OH.  Can’t find much more about it, but it’s in extremely nice condition.  The clasp for the pin still rotates and captures the pin.  

That’s an Army weapon qualification badge.  There are 3 levels of badges for those who qualify with their weapon…Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert.  This one is the Marksman level.  The bar at the bottom indicates which weapon.  It can be rifle, pistol or even grenade.  Finding one in Sterling is a very nice find and one that is about WW II era as you say.  🫡

Glad to hear you like the coil.  In fact, there isn’t much at all to dislike about XP products is there?  😊

WOW!  🫡

but get that program with the 9" in lots of iron, and it really shines. It's not that great where there is a lot of brass and aluminum junk,

Well Bob, that leaves me out!  😂.  Aluminum is basically what plagues us on our beaches when you bring up the topic of junk.  
And where I land hunt at the Seminole Indian War site is not really riddled with scrap iron.  Does this mean TEKNNA was not meant for me?  🤣

Keep in mind that most success in metal detecting requires you to just get the coil over the target.  I’ve found nice objects with inexpensive detectors as well as expensive ones.  In any case,  congratulations on the great finds!!! 🫡

Another great hunt my friend!   That button was the keeper of the day....👍

Gary Blackwell addresses the halo effect at the end of this video and how CSR impacts it.

I was thinking more in terms of land hunting programs for the on/off switch….e.g. Deep HC, Fast, Park etc.

I like that idea Colonel. I use General when the ground is wet and it does seem to help with the falsing on those crusty iron colonial nails. I'm not sure the halo effect can be eliminated, but I would take any improvement!

I’m sure the halo effect can’t be totally eliminated in all cases.  I’m not sure that what I suggest can even be done.  I just throw it out there for those much smarter than me to chime in.  Like I said, it may be a crazy idea….🤷🏻‍♂️

Due to the characteristics of the areas that I routinely hunt here in Florida, I only use programs that have the conductive soil reduction capability…the beach programs, General and Relic.  Wet conditions are very prevalent as you can imagine so the halo effect, when using the other programs, has the potential to impose itself on your detecting life.

Now this got me wondering, would it be possible or feasible to add a conductive soil reduction on/off option for all programs to the Deus II software?  If so, the halo effect would be, could be or might be eliminated throughout the program options.

 I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no software engineer by any stretch so this might be a crazy idea.  Just thought I’d  throw it out there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a day for you two!  Nothing like unlocking an old “jewelry box”. 👍🏻😊

Your efforts were well rewarded.  

What a day.  Nice finds .  Again, you live in a great area for this hobby.   👍🏻

I’ve noticed a definite reduction in pinpoint volume with version 2.0.  I hope this can be corrected in subsequent updates
