Popular Post F350Platinum Posted June 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hot and humid day today, we were supposed to move the RV but the reservationist said we could stay where we are. ? My wife said "why not go detecting? ? Didn't take me long to grab the Deus 2 and digging gear and go up to this small field in the north side of the campground. The last time I was here they hadn't mowed this, apparently they plan to expand and need more space for vehicles and maybe other activities. This place has been a campground for a long time, but was recently purchased by a big company. Almost all of the original camp has been replaced or renewed. Ran the D2 In a slightly modified General program and decided today that I would test out the XY screen, as I've been digging too much aluminum with this machine. And I am glad I did, going to rename this "coin shooting" or CS. ? I was thrilled with the performance. ? I only dug stuff that ID'd from 85 up, I was only fooled once by an aluminum bottle cap. 27 coins in about 2 hours: 5 quarters, 9 dimes, 13 pennies, all from the 1970s to the 1990s. No Zincolns! A 1980s Hot Wheels car was a 99. Apparently there was a lot of activity in this spot back then! They're all marsh coins, pretty corroded but negotiable. $2.23 more in the box. The XY oscilloscope screen is really cool, it gives a straight line and the tone is more pure when you are over a coin. Junk has a curve or loop and sounds more scratchy. Trash? Just one aluminum bottle cap ? There is a story too, apparently last night someone in the campground was very upset that I was metal detecting here. I had got permission from the General Manager last year, told the front desk I'd be out again this year on the strength of that. They said no problem. I had no idea management had changed. A couple of park staff approached me in this field and said the GM didn't want me detecting on the report from the woman who complained, and told me there was a new GM. I asked for a name, went up to the office and met her outside. I showed her my gear, especially the plug shovel, and said if they could find any of my holes I would be surprised. She said "oh, then I give you permission to dig anywhere here!" I told her about the live ammo I've been clearing out and she was even more impressed. The moral here is always get your permission from the GM at a campground, don't accept substitutes. Check in and check in again, and make sure you thank them. You'll be glad you did. ? It was too hot by noon to do much more so I quit for the day very happy with the Deus 2. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a keeper, thanks. ? I'm still hoping there might be some silver here, but don't know how much or if it has been detected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets doors open! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strick Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Glad you got it sorted out. We went on a camping trip couple years ago asked over the phone if I could detect while there the lady said absolutely...well first thing I did was head to the ball field and within 15 min a guy comes up and tells me can’t do that there...the guy was the husband of the lady (both were camp hosts) told him his wife said it was ok already ? he stood his ground but did let me detect out back behind some older buildings and of course in the water at the lake. We got along fine I’d show him what I found each day.. strick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
