Thought I might start a new thread with the finds I make with the Xp Deus (pronounced day-uhs) which arrived this week.
Will be testing it out in the gold fields as well.
First a quick initial review.
1. Weight - The XP Deus is so light I swung it non stop today for 2.5 hours and could of kept going but the sun
was starting to set. I was like a boy in a candy shop. Dig one target and I quickly went onto the next.
2. Pin pointing is dead easy and its the easiest experience to date compared to other machines I have
used using the cross checking method.
3. Iron volume - I love this feature where you can hear the iron and can control the volume of the iron and the Deus
has a feature that can separate both targets.
4. Frequency choice - used this today where a target was just coming in under the 12khz. Change it the lower setting and
the target is more audible. This depends on the conductivity of the metal as well.
Above are my tools of choice.
From left - LittLe Eagle Spade 4" wide perfect plug cutter, lesche hand digger, heavy duty finds bag with thick bottom
mesh (which I use in the water as well) & Garrett Pin Pointer purchased from Phil at the Gold Mining Centre.
The area I went to was bare land with one site dating back to the mid 18th century and the other early 19th century.
The buildings have been removed and there is patches of quartz and rocks and bits of grass. The area is large maybe
the size of 3 footy ovals.
So the next question where do I start? Went to the back area first and when the first penny popped out 30 minutes latter
I was happy because I knew I found one of the sites.
This half penny was the 2nd coin found and the signal was like a buzzing sound but very noticeable due to its depth
which was around 7" or so.
My goodies for today.
Below is also a link of some of my other finds.
