I have had the Deus 2 for 1 year and I follow the dig everything advice. I mainly detect the Pacific Northwest Coastline and have discovered that even Ferrous Tones are diggable opportunites, especially for coins.
However, when I hit on a '63' (in the sand) I get second and third thoughts about digging, I have never hit anything other then a Pull Tab on 63....and I have literally pulled more then a thousand of these lovelies from the sand. I'm starting to question the advice (and my sanity).
Any other people swinging Deus that have found the same thing with '63' or are you getting a good return (1 in 50 or 1 in 100?) on digging everything?
Thanks!
Paul
PS. Always love watching your videos Merrill and your advice has been spot on. Your video on detecting beaches really upped my game.
For me, a 61-62-63-64 has never so far turned out to be anything but a crimp-on bottle cap (97%), pull tab (2%) or nickel (1%). Thank goodness for Bottle Cap Reject.
If I were in your situation, I would notch those suckers out or ignore that number. You may lose a ring, but you'll retain your sanity and have more time to find gold to boot. Then again, I get an average of about 7 hours a month to detect, so I place a premium on spending that time wisely.
