Very nice find , the Deus is a killer on small coins in the iron trash  ...  Not only for European coins as I can see ...  🙂 🙂 . Unless you found it with the Equinox , which is also very good on silvers ...

Equinox on this one Palzynski

That looks like a terrible place to swing a coil.   I can imagine falling and getting impaled by a cut stalk.  Cool ring find!  

Ok get on a plane and come out here!  You can be my color commentator.  A coworker says who needs oak Island when we have you so, maybe I should make videos like Cal Cobra? What do you think? Tom_in_CA  could be the technical advisor and script writer.  

My wording is not as great as my humor, yes ask my wife I’m very inappropriate and love stupid humor.  I try to be good on here as to not offend anyone.  In person you couldn’t keep up !! 

Rich I cannot get good pics with the new phone, Apple lied. My old 8 took better pics than this 12 junk.  I’m trying though.

I tried to grade that half dime (great find, BTW) and had trouble tying it down, but somewhere in the high fine to mid very fine region.  Half dimes are tough to get with an MD but you nailed this one!

 

I barely nailed it.  I was in pretty thick iron. Thanks GB!

That coin is in really good shape! Small date large C if you want to know its worth. That is one heckuva find, tho not moreso than your gold.

Thanks F350.  Here is a back side with some light  and I added the front

Sorry Chris, 

Us "older" and/or "retired" guys sometimes forget that most of you "younger" guys are still working!🤣

   Who knows, you may be older than me, and still working! Nothing wrong with that either! You know what I mean!!😁👍👍

I’m 52 and still hard at it.  Here are pics through an old loupe.  

I’m at work so, I’ll get a better pic tonight. 

Bad  pick of back

There’s coins you don’t see everyday.  Nice finds!

Thanks Matt

Thanks Chris, I'm grateful that I find anything. The 1911 wheat penny tells me I'm in or close to Barber era, but the silver isn't gonna jump out without removing a lot of the trash. I wonder sometimes if they sent all the Barbers out west! 😀 I've still got two more unexplored farmhouses to go, and a lot to revisit with greater experience and this great coil. It can really sift through the junk. All the coins I did find were not clear signals at first, nor was my initial understanding of the Equinox.

I use an old Army trick and wear a bandana like I used to wear under my helmet. Not a stranger to sweat 🙂 84 isn't hot like it was in August but there wasn't any shade unless we got behind our vehicles.

Funny thing is I have dug hundreds of wheats but never a Barber. I think they may all be on the east coast.   I can burn through a couple sweat bands a day and use bandannas/hankies to keep my glasses dry. The heat sucks.   Are you really liking the Coiltek?  I may pick one up.   She will only use the 6” coil, doesn’t like swinging the 11.

   I second that, Chris-Rock!! Hey, isn't that name already taken by some funny guy!?? 🤔🤣👍👍

Hey Rich I am a funny guy.  😂

Hey F350, CVISChris here using my alias because I messed something up when the forum was down.  May not be the greatest finds for you but fun nonetheless right?  The heat sucks but that’s what hats and sweatbands are for.  I’m sure you will pull something cool out of there.  I enjoy reading all your posts so keep at it. 

Good hunt And a nice story Dan.  

Interesting ring and a cool find.

Outstanding finds, Chris. That 5 franc coin is huge! Bet it blew your mind to have the detector max out on something and it wasn't crap. 😀 Even the jewelry looks French. 👍 Cool half Reale too. 

F350,  it was quite a shock for sure. I now have that kinda weird overload sound in my head!  I’ll dig those from now on.  

Tom,  so far American, Spanish, Swedish and now a French coin.  It is such a thrilling place to detect.

If the little lettered tag you found is made of Copper based metal it might be a printing plate for an old newspaper advertisement. I have found some before. Pretty neat.

It is but I think too thin.  It is very fragile. 

It is the same site.   Two dimes just a few feet apart.  

Kac, already have but I lost all my previous posts.  

Yes, I see sardines now.  That’s really interesting.   Thanks for that.
