Merrill, i missed the premier. But man I am loving my deus 2. I have dug so many cool thing with it. Today was no exception. I got 3 silvers in one day. A 1900 O Morgan silver dollar, a 1907 Barber quarter, and 1918 SLQ!!!! They are amaizing machines. This was one of my best days ever!!! Keep up the great work!

Morning Merrill! The bullet at 29:50 is what's called a "wad cutter", they're commonly used in target shooting competitions because they make a nice, neat round hole in paper/cardboard for easier scoring by a judge. Happy hunting!

“But I need to know….Can you take it out for like 3 years tomorrow….” Lol

Also the 14 incher is a toe tap. 1830s-1870s

Hi Merrill..and everyone..Just got home on the west coast …found 3 rings..woohoo

Side silver quarter would have sounded better with the 11" coil on the Nox. 15" coil on the nox is not a fair example when comparing pinpoint targets deep. 11" should be compared to 11" coils for more accurate comparisons.

My Nox has found many non-ferrous things with iron attached. I just pulled a wheat that was under 3 nails in my last vid. It's really good at hearing past iron.

The 12" deep brass thing is a toe tap. Mid to late 1800s

Merrill, that was a great pull. I have a few things to say about the Deus tho. First, that silver quarter covered by a rock was interesting. With my nox, I have had the same thing happen to me, rocks throwing off signals. When I dug out a test garden and buried a large cent, the signal always sounded like iron. When I finally dug it back up, there was a rock next to it, and after removing it the signal sounded normal. That issue wasn’t present on the d2 obviously. Also, when hunting older sites with modern contamination, try using full tones in the square program. It sounds like the nox with Deus tonal nuances. Great hunt! -Wil

Even got a laugh at your shadow when walking to the seated dime haha.

That looked like a heel saver; sheet metal with multiple nail holes. The bullet was a wad cutter, makes clean hole in paper.

Switch that deep HC into five tone and then switch it into square tones you will hear some familiar equinox sounds. Also will help eliminate some of the mid-range junk from the actual good targets

nice vid and hunt Merrill. I like General in square audio, 5 tone. Really picks up the highs nice.

Pretty nice that you can have the audio on both the headphones and remote control at the same time!

I know you've been told by now. It's a toe tap. I'm watching this and thinking the same things you are as I learn this new machine. Still having trouble with deep iron fooling me. I mostly use deep hc, fast and senci ft. Thanks for sharing. 🤙🏼Chris 🤙🏼

Great hunt guys, the grill is a toe tap.

the leather/lead thing is a bridal rosette and the copper grilz is a toe tap. Great video Merrill!!

Deus II is setting a new benchmark in all around detecting.

Merrill,You two pull some nice finds,great job and I enjoyed it and good Luck to you two.
