NCtoad

Tuesday evening I took the deus out to practice in the yard and hit some fringe areas. I had probably had my nox in these areas but only maybe once or twice. The first two good finds were copper memorials in different spots. There’s a power pole in the yard and a while back I hit a wheatie maybe ten feet from the pole with the deus. So after hitting those two memorials I headed over near the pole to see if I might find another wheatie. This time I went on the opposite side of the pole from where I had found that wheatie. I got a strong 88 tid and thought that maybe it was a deep smashed beer can because I had dug a few of those not too far away with the nox a good while back. I dug about five inches down and see a small spill of a few pennies. I get those out and stick my pinpointer back in there and it goes off again. To make a long story short, I kept doong this over and over with the pinpointer and then the deus until I had 61 memorials! It probably took me a good 45 minutes. I checked the date on a few of them as they came out of the hole and they were 60s and early 70s. So in all I got 63 memorials ranging from 1959 to 1975. Wednesday night it rained but this evening it was nice and sunny. So I decided to hit an area over by my shed. In the pic it’s on the opposite side of the shed. I dug a couple of junk targets and then I got a nice 91-93. From about six inches down out comes a 1947 rosie! I have searched and searched for silver in my yard. The only silvers anywhere close by have come from an old spring which is about 120 yards away. This rosie puts me at 14 for the year.

Thanks Chase! Somehow I missed this.

I’d wager that ring was made for the stone. Very nice!

Hi Allen and welcome to the forum! I don’t know anything about the kruzer, but I think you would get more responses to your question on the nokta/makro forum. Maybe try posting your query there. There’s lots of knowledgeable nokta/makro guys that would probably be eager to help.

Suppose you could somehow manufacture a rod just like the OEM rod but with carbon fiber and improved cam locks and no flex. Don’t you think you’d sell a whole lot if them? Even if your setup cost say $350, I’d bet they’d sell like hotcakes. Look what the beach guys are spending on scoops.

Once you have the ws6 puck attached to the clip jack adaptor, what protects the back of it? I found found something made in England that protects it it from dirt and dust and makes it look like a finished unit. Is something like this available in the US?

Is that for a 1/8” plug or a 1/4” plug?

I don’t notice much if any flex at all in mine with the 9” coil. However I’m 5’10” and don’t extend the lower rod much past the #1 mark.

I didn’t even notice the GM on it. I thought it was one of those divot tools used by golfers. Thanks for noticing that!

I think the key is a clock winding key. That makes sense on the washers. They do look crushable.

Those buttons are fantastic! I can see you pulling an old, old silver out of there.

That button is huge! Congrats on some great finds!

There’s no reason you couldn’t post yours up on etsy for $46,999!

Sorry to quote my own post but in the second pic, right upper corner are two copper washers. I dig these quite often. Does anyone know what they were used for?

There’s a town park nearby that I’ve never detected. It has a woodchip totlot so I thought I’d get there early Saturday morning with the deus II and see what I could find. I hardly ever hit totlots, but I have limited places to hunt so I thought it would be worth a try. I spent about an hour in the totlot and only got $1.32 in clad and some junk. So I thought I’d hit some of the grassy areas of the park. This park isn’t very old but it was a nine hole golf course before. I think the golf course dates back to the 80s so not expecting anything really old to turn up. Before long I found an old shotgun headstamp. Then I found what looks like an old metal wheel off of a toy truck. Hmmm, I’m thinking maybe there was an old house here before the golf course. Just a few minutes later I get a very sweet sounding high tone in my custom general 1 program. It’s showing 92-93 on the tid. I was hoping for a silver dime but about seven inches down out pops a slick no date slq! I had to leave soon after that but I went back on Sunday hoping for more silver. Try as I might I only managed two wheaties (1918 & 1920) but did find some nice relics. Looks like I’ll be going back there more often!

I wish all metal detectorists held this point of view. I commend you for that. Some are too opinionated and too quick to attack someone else’s opinion. I see it on the so called friendly forum a lot. Because of that I find myself reading and posting here more and more. The drama over there is entertaining at first, but after awhile it gets to be too much. Lol.

Yes. I posted about this a while back. Maybe they could add a program where high conductors have more TID range. For US users all the silver coins are ringing up mainly from 90-96. Here’s what I said a while back: Initial thoughts: I really like the lightweight and ergonomics of the deus2. My nox feels like a tank in comparison (11” coil). As far as performance goes, and me being a silver coin hunter, I feel the silver range on the deus is more compressed than the nox. Silver range on deus2 is about 90-96. The silver range on the nox is 26/27-35/36. Both of these ranges are for dime to half dollar. As Steve said in another post the deus seems to be made more for beach hunting with an expanded low to mid conductor range that would work well on gold rings.

He did a video about this. He says the depth hasn’t changed.

Absolutely!

I’m probably not being very clear. My point is that it’s not an official xp update yet until they announce it as 0.7. I’m wondering why they are letting owners download a “new” 0.6 version without it being a finalized version. I have not downloaded this partial update and won’t until xp sends out an email that the new 0.7 version is available to download. I can live with the small screen for now.

In fact he calls the update the new “naught point seven” version.

Did XP officially announce this update? I didn’t get an email from them. I think Gary Blackwell’s video is the closest thing to an official announcement. If I’m remembering correctly even he says the official update is not ready yet.

Gary says something about full tones being more like deus1 after update.

Me too. If the legend ends up performing as good as the nox I may just get one just for the build quality and selection of coils.

Thanks! Yes, there is gold in this part of NC. I tried panning once in that stream and I also ran the nox in gold mode where the stream is undercutting the bank back in the woods but I didn’t find anything. I also really don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to finding gold.
