Well done for Martyn, his new Deus II has been broken in quite well. For you it was a shite day. That's what it's like when we're metal detecting. I'm glad you were finally able to get out on a field.
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee…and your buddy , Martin. Another wonderful day of freezing cold, frozen ground and awesome coins (for Martin) and your…things. Great fun.
Tennessee here also brother. I'll be honest I found more with the 0.71 than with this newest update. Happy hunting brother here in TN lots of civil war history
1861 is the second year of the recoinage, when the Pennies were made slightly smaller. By the look of the 1861 that Martin found, it was dropped when it was fairly new.
First 5:44 looks like a grandfather clock winding key… back to the vid….I can’t believe he whooped you😳 we will call it beginners luck for Martin…. Nice finds thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼
A bad day in the field beats a good day at work, anytime. Good on Martin. Interesting to see the two machines compared heads up. Keep the sparrows, I'll take the pint!! Cheers!!
Well Marty beat you on the coins today - beginners luck I recon on the new Deus with the big coil! Well done Marty and still like the key and paintbrush! Not chanced trying the version 2.0 yet so it’s really useful seeing how both of you do in comparison. Great video as ever 😊
At least you two were able to get out. Using your gps coordinates to mark future finds is an idea. Now you have an artists brush for your archeological finds.😂 I hope Martin likes his new detector, I just ordered a new Deus II myself. But I’ll hang onto my Equinox 900 to add to my detector collection.
Quite a lucky start for your friend Marty with the D2, here in CT it took me 3 months to find my first King George II Half Penny using the Deep HC program and probably 15 detecting outings. We know frozen ground here also but thankfully it was a mild winter, Great Video!
Just to give you a smile. When I collected pennies as a kid in the 50s there were quite a few Victoria coins to be found. All the kids that I knew called them Honolulu pennies because unlike all modern coins at that time the trident that Britainia was holding was not on her knee, it was "On her Lulu" Stupid childish joke that brings back happy memories.
Nice finds in frozen ground, Martin broke in his new XP DEUS 2 with a few coins. Actually love the paintbrush, just imagining how it ended up there! Thanks John!
We got ten inches of snow last week and most is still here. Been really really cold. Supposed to be getting better tomorrow. Love your videos and your good sense of humour! Hang in there!
Thank you John, I REALLY appreciate the image of the actual coin you edit into the freshly dug footage. I am certain it takes yet more post processing to provide us with our entertaining slow tv/ vicarious metal detecting experiences. But I do love to see what the coin would look like. Thanks
The key looks like a mantle clock winder, but the metal roller skates used a key to clamp onto your shoes that looked very similar. Congrats on the new detector too!
Howdy From Ohio John and Marty. Get a Rock Hammer for when it's cold and frozen some have pick ends and others have mattock ends. Good Job Both and thanks for sharing.
John you are just waiting on the gold and silver,he had beginner's luck. May you and he find the hoard of 50,000 gold coins Cleggy always was seeking! Cold frozen ground is no fun and another day with no water here in Lynnville, Tennessee, at least we finally see snow disappeared! It seems like only yesterday we got a bath in a big washtub,or a water fight shower from the rainbarrel! The good Ole days,to be 12 again having the mule plowing me thru the dirt and rocks,chopping weeds out of grannies garden til noon then off to the bluffhole to swim,lol! Maybe I should just watch another of John's excellent history finds! Thanks for the adventures!
That is great Martin has a great teacher to show him the ropes with the Deus. I bought one a few months ago, took it out of the box to charge, tried it 5 minutes on the beach and didn't know what the heck I was doing. Its been in the box since. I need to take a trip to Perthshire and hire you to show me. lol . I have been taking notes from your videos etc. But ach well as you say. ha.
Nice video again John, thanks! So Marty’s machine has 2.0 software installed on it? I don’t really understand that because I don’t see a version 2.0 on XP’s website? Do you (or does anyone) know when it will be released for people that have the XP DEUS II with the old version on it?
Hello DD. Yes Martyn’s machine just purchased came with the 2.0 installed. The 2.0 is actually the same as 1.1 as far as I’m aware except there is a change to the goldfield programme and to allow you to use the xtreme hoard hunter, otherwise it’s exactly the same as 1.1 as far as I’m aware, so if you’ve got 1.1 you’ll be fine. I’m actually using 0.71 but may upgrade soon. Hope that helps?
John, that key looks like it's for winding an anniversary clock that sits on a fireplace mantel under a glass dome. I have one and the key was just broken😅
Well done you two...Terryt is right, you are nice to have others join you and no grudge against them for finding things....Red Bull gives you wings right? Maybe next time, still good finds maybe a brush for Blusher? lol...Key for a Grandfather Clock? 😏😶
The key could be used as a bleed key on Farm equipment or used to wind up a clock The threaded hook is used in electrical installations to hang lights via chains in building with high ceilings.
That key looks like one used for winding my parent's old hanging clock with a pendulum about 100+ years old. It uses the exact same square shaped hole that fits over the strong metal winders in the face of the clock dial (one winds the clock and the other winds the bell). Surely it has some use for someone.
I watch the Pethericks convent renovations. They have been doing a bit of metal detecting in there grounds. I though what a great collaboration it would make if you were there helping them. You would have a blast and who wouldn't like a weekend in France with the lovely Billy Simon yanis and yours truly. ❤
Bit more rain down in North Kent on Sunday and I pulled out an Alexander 3rd silver hammered, Berwick mint. Well chuffed and a long way from Perthshire lol
That's beginner's luck for Marty. Not convinced that there is a major difference between versions so the jury is still out. Looking forward to the next comparison under better conditions.
Good contest lads, hard luck John it's 2-1 now to Martin so you'll have to do the best out of 5 to decide the ultimate winner. A good 15minutes entertainment cheers.
you need to use the same settings on both then check each others find be fr digging and see if one is clearer than the other ,as he may have been lucky to walk over it .Been wanting to see a video like this for a few months now as i have the D2v2 and wanting to know if to go back to the earlier version
Blames V2.00 then admits it would have been diggable with 0.71 😄 I find that, yes I do get iron falsing on 2.0, but I've had similar on other versions and on other detectors - it's usually easy enough to hear the junk once you're used to it.
Many thanks Don. I’ve been awing and umming about the update for ages and I figure XP know more than I do!! I plan to do another one or two head to head days and then probably take the plunge
Hey John, been watching your videos for a while now. You’ve made me want to buy the mighty XP Deus 2, just wanting to know where to get one and what’s the best settings to use. I’ve been using the Nokta Simplex + and wanting to progress. Thanks.
good evening, I follow your channel from France. Thank you for the quality videos you make. Question: What program are you using, with what settings? THANKS
using the tones and numbers as id is all good. but i dont see you use the drag off target method ? i get the best info about whats in the ground by swinging over the target and pinpointing the target , then while doing short swings i drag the coil off the target , and you more or less always get a very good id just before the signal runs of the coil .
how do you find those deu2 headphones .. i find them to be so blood sore after a few hours . .cut into the soft skin behind my lug ... totally agree with the iron .. i am pulling my hair out with IT .. i never dig iron with MY CTX ...
Could a difference in performance between these two machines be due to the circuitry conductivity because yours is older and seen more action in the trenches or is down to the programmes?
Hallo I live in germany I am English and like to watch the youtube vids about metal detecting I detect myself not so easy in Germany lots of restrictions I try to watch your videos but you have far to much advertiting in them I am 69 and do not wish to spend the little time I have left watching so many ads but I wish you all the best in your metal detecting adventures in the future maybe think about reducing the amount of ads you place in your vids
You said pint of beer or two sparrows? Sparrows? I went hunting and after no doves my Grandpa and I he goes shoot into that flock of blackbirds me and you empty the shotguns. We ate fried blackbirds for dinner as people in the farming fields around where we live ate them at the dinner table a platter of fried blackbirds, quails were better or duck of course wanted. Two sparrows to eat? Not knowing. Sorry you did explain afterwards on the 1861. Sparrows were in bunches or in bushes shrubs and shoot into them a bite to eat if hungry
Hi John .. I’m not one to correct you ..on what you think your finds may be .. you’re more clued up than me .. but on this occasion I’m pretty sure the key you found was likely to be a old clock 🕰️ winding key ..probably Victorian … It’s not often you are out shone on the fields of Perthshire ..but Marty and his new XP Deus 2 definitely made you look like an amateur there my friend …lol
Those Deus 2s are expensive! You certainly wouldn't want to spend that lind of money on your first detector! Not sure I could justify sinking that kind of cash into a detector!
