My dealer gave me a price, but said they’re still waiting on a shipment date.

Congrats on the two war nickels and the buffs! If I were you I’d go over that area again very slowly. There’s a high probability of more silver whether it was detected before or not.

That’s really impressive! How was the ID at that depth?

Nice finds! Looks like you found a site that hasn’t been detected before. Will you be going back?

That does look like it, but on mine I can’t find any evidence of where a pin was soldered onto the back. I looked with my 16x magnifier and back looks perfectly smooth. I was surprised that there wasn’t any pin or remnant of a pin.

Sunday is my day to get out and detect and today I hit a permission that I’ve been going to for the last 3 or 4 sundays. This site has a 1890s house on it that’s about to get torn down. Up until last Sunday I’ve gotten three silver dimes, an IHP, a small 18k bracelet and around 15 wheats. Last Sunday I got a 1903 barber dime and a few wheats. Today I only got 1 wheat and a 1960 memorial, but I did get an interesting little sterling. I’m sure it’s some kind of military something or other. The place where I work is an old summer camp from 1928. Some days I’ll go in early and detect, but I’ve been over and over most of the high probability areas that might yield an old coin. Friday I hit an area where they used to have a camp fire. Found a little clad, but on the way back to the car right next to a parking area I got a nice sounding 30 that was pretty shallow. I thought for sure it would be a clad quarter, but out came a slick, no date SLQ! That made my day and put me at 52 fty

Why wouldn’t you always ground balance (ground grab) before starting your hunt? I always do. The only time that ground balancing may be inaccurate is when you’re on a site with lots and lots of metal and it’s hard to find a “clean” spot to do a ground grab. In areas like this I’ll walk to the nearest spot where I can find a clean spot to get an accurate ground balance. Sometimes on sites I’ve hit many times and I’m familiar with the ground balance number, I’ll just manually set the ground balance instead of looking for a clean spot.

Are you ground balancing the trx? Turn it on with the point in the air then Just hold the point on the ground and press the button. That’s what the unpublished manual says to do. I just hold it on the ground as I turn it on. Very little falsing since I’ve been doing that.

That’s a really nice backpack!

I’ve never owned a deus, but I’ve pre-ordered a deus II. Does the new deus use the same clip? Will it be a problem?

David, I certainly wasn’t referring to you. In fact I wasn’t referring to anyone in particular. I’ve watched plenty of your videos and like them. The point I was trying to make was that if you buy an XP you can rest assured that Gary’s videos will give you up to date, factual information that’s straight from the manufacturer. Gary’s vids are more of an instructional type rather than pitting one brand vs another.

Another plus for the deus II is having Gary make these easy to understand, first rate videos. Much better than watching some youtube wanna be star looking for subscribers. Lol. Seriously though, Gary’s vids are an added plus of owning an XP!

What a great looking site! Congrats on the Spanish silver! Do you mind if I ask what state you’re in?

I put my order in with my dealer soon after the announcement. He said I was first in line! I wasn’t 100% sure at the time because the Legend hadn’t been released yet and other than the deus II announcement, there wasn’t any other info on it. Now that they’ve made the manual available I feel 100% sure. I’m really looking forward to learning this detector. Btw, I ordered the 9” version.

Those are some great finds guys! Thanks for taking us along. Cal, it’s time for a new pair of gloves buddy. Lol

Good on Nokta! I felt two years was too short.

A find is a find is a find! Unless you noticed someone actively looking for it and returned it to them, I would keep it if I were you. About a year ago while coming out of the grocery store I spotted a good sized purse left in a grocery buggy. On that one I took it into the store and handed it to one of the managers and told them where I found it. I’m still wondering if that manager rifled through the purse and stole something. I’m also still wondering if I should have looked through it to find contact info and returned it myself.

What a great story Phrunt! Thanks for posting!

Digger supply park ranger. This is my first pouch made specifically for metal detecting. I like it!

To find one gold cufflink would be awesome enough, but to find a matching pair is off the charts! Congrats on all your great finds!

Plus 2. I’m pretty happy with my nox. The Legend looks like a nox clone with a few extra add ons. If it’s performance in iron and trash laden sites is better than the nox I will definitely be more interested. For now I’m still all in on the deus II even though it’s twice the price.

Although I’m 99% sure I’m going to buy a deus II, the perfect balance would be at the hand grip, not halfway down the shaft. Lol

Nice finds! I know when I’m hunting and I’m finding old coins I have a really hard time calling it quits for the day.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it odd that XP makes the big announcement of their new machine and then nothing. No videos, no release date, no official pricing.

112 silvers fty is huge! Congrats on the three you just added to it.
