Great story! I’m a couple of years older than you and wish I had started as early as you did.

Hi Loren I find this a little disturbing from your description. If possible could you post a pic showing this?

Nice finds, congrats!

Sounds to me like it adds or subtracts automatically according to what the next to last sentence says in your quote from the manual. It says “specific signal processing is applied in order to best adapt to the terrain.” To me the specific signal processing sounds like a filter that either adds or subtracts frequencies based on the ground reading. But, heck I don’t really know. That’s just how I interpret it.

I remember reading about the sea wolf mod a while back. I thought I might send my nox off to them some day, but that was before the new deus got announced. My nox is almost four years old now and hasn’t given me any problems but you never know. To send it off for the sea wolf package and have something totally unrelated to the sea wolf mod go bad is not a chance I want to take. I’m all in for the deus II with it’s five year warranty and (what looks like), better performance than the nox. As an aside, I really like the way sea wolf puts all of the buttons including the user program button on the face of the unit so everything’s accessible with one hand.

Thanks for the video! Your English is very good.

Did the third one from the left have anything in it? 😂

Congrats! I really like that watch fob!

When something like this is found in the UK isn’t the finder only entitled to half the value of the item found? Or is that for multiple coins found (a hoard)?

Hell yeah! Sounds like you’re killing the silver halves! I’ve only dig two halves in five years of detecting. Halves seem to elude me, but I always read of other detectorists having trouble finding standing liberty quarters. I got four of those last year. It’s weird what coins were dropped in different parts of the country.

Thanks Strick! I hit it pretty good today. I went “low and slow” lol. The button actually came from the exterior where the front porch was. Thanks! I don’t know if it had a heater or not. The finds were scattered randomly all over the floor. Thanks! Yes it had floor joists and floor boards. And no, I didn’t get a chance to detect the inside before any demolition was done. That jar is made of wood and there were 3 or 4 others scattered about. No writing or identification marks on any of them. I could have and should have borrowed a magnet we have at work. I used it before on an old commercial building floor tearout a few months ago and it really helped. I just didn’t think to bring it with me. On this floor, just like the commercial bldg floor, everything was very shallow; only an inch or two deep.

Got out today to a permission that’s close by. There’s an old house on this property and from what I’ve read the house was built in either the late 1800s or early 1900s. I’ve hit this place seven or eight times already and have gotten 6 silver coins. All dimes: two barbers and four mercs. The guy that bought the place is slowly tearing down the house and I noticed he finally got the roof rafters off of it. I’ve been wanting to detect the dirt under the floor system that he tore out a few weeks ago but I was leery of going in there with the weight of the roof on those old walls. So today I got in there with the nox and six inch coil. First thing I noticed was a LOT of bottle caps. That and lots and lots of iron. I had the nox running in both park 1 and park two with custom five tones, recovery on 7, iron bias at 0 and then 6, sense anywhere from 16-21. I got two ‘45 wheats, three buffs a ‘15, ‘18 and the other is too corroded to get a date off of. Highlight of the day was a ‘36 merc, my first silver of the new year.

Are you talking about the deus II? Because the deus II has an adjustment for coil knocks so it won’t sound off when the coil gets bumped.

Calabash might be able to answer that. Other than that The nine incher will be a little lighter and easier to swing.

For me it boils down to which coil would work better not the price differential. I can see your point though, but if the 9” coil will work better for you is it worth the hassle of using the 11” to save $50?

9” is what I have on preorder. I don’t need the extra 2” of coverage for where I hunt. If I do, I’ll still have my nox. However if this new deus is as good as it looks in all the videos so far, I can see me selling off the nox and getting the 11” coil for the deus.

Is that speculation or do you have some facts to back that up? Btw, I mean no offense just wondering how you came up with that statement.

Damn! For my sites I don’t see a need for the 11” coil. I have a 9 “ on pre order. If, once I get the 9” version I may sell my equinox and purchase the 11” coil for large fields and such. But I guess I may have to wait a wee bit longer for my 9” version.

I just weighed my nox. It has an Anderson carbon fiber shaft and their metal armrest, home made counterweight, deanos control box cover, and a coil ear stiffener. Guess how much it weighs? Check pic below for the answer. The counterweight makes it more comfortable for me to swing but it’s still heavy, especially after 4 or 5 hours. Now the deus II can be set up in several configurations, but if we go with the heaviest setup with the nine inch coil which is what I have on pre order, I believe it’s around 1 kilogram which is 35.27 ozs. That’s a 22.83 oz savings!For those of you using a counterweight, have you ever weighed the entire rig? If so, please post up some weights.

That’s a nice bunch of finds and some nice camaraderie. I have the same issue you have with asking permissions. I just don’t have the “people skills” as you mentioned. Yeah I’ve asked and have gotten a few, but it’s just not me to ask for things.

Wow! Nice pics, nice finds and great storyline. Thank you for taking us along a hunt most of us will only dream of!

Nice! I love seeing finds with the old tesoro analogs. I may have to look for a five pin big concentric for my mojave.

That’s the nicest 2 cent piece I’ve ever seen! Congrats!

That’s the nicest 2 cent piece I’ve ever seen! Congrats!

That’s incredible!!! Sure beats digging a bunch of mercs and rosies and GWs which is what I get excited over. Lol! I’d be ecstatic just finding any one of those out of your collection.
