First Gold With The Deus2… A Chunky 1893 Wedding Band

Recommended Posts

Went to a sight yesterday that I have hammered hard with my nox800 hidden in the foil and iron was this beauty. I was using a custom version of the park program, reactivity set to 1 and sensitivity set to 98. I only got a blip of a high tone while swinging at a normal speed. When I wiggled over top of it the Deus2 locked on with a solid vid of 94 in every direction. I’m guessing the number was so high because this is a chunky ring weighing in at nearby 10 grams! I have air tested large gold coins and they ring up high as well. So to all you beach guys out there don’t pass up those dimes and quarters!

That is a beautiful ring and a fantastic find.

Since I am mostly a turf hunter, passing up a quarter or a coin sized 94 would be sheer lunacy. 

Just for my own curiosity, what is this ring's VDI in the higher weighted modes like General, Sensitive or Fast? Also, it looks like it was about 6 to 8" deep.....is that about right?

That’s cool man! This forum is so fun to follow and generous with the educating side of things for a nube like myself. Well done and what a special date.

Hey Jeff I did some air testing most of the search modes have this ring coming in above 92 however Deep HC, Goldfield and the beach modes bring the numbers down into the upper 80s hope this helps. If everybody works together we’ll figure this machine out.

Thanks for the quick answers.

Is there a "Makers Mark" or indication of karat type. Some older rings like that one may not have both.
