I lost part of my Deus stem...
Now it gets stuck, or slides out.
Your subtitles are already on :).
Let me ground balance the detector first...
I'm in a new area, I have no idea what to expect...
I hope, there is hidden treasure below this tree.
That's probably the sound of "mineralization".
I'm out of breath, after a way up.
Is this the first signal?
It sounded real bad.
(Dust blew into my face.)
Hmm...
I don't think, there is something. Probably mineralization again.
Now, that's a real signal.
It sounded bad.
But I'm getting used to it already...
First find, a musket ball.
Doesn't sound like "iron" from this angle.
There...
That's a coin.
"1 Reichspfennig".
From 1875.
GPS (Point of Interest) #1
What?
I hit a rock.
Hmm?
Nothing...
That's just the coil falsing (it does that, when it touches something).
Now everything blew in my face from below the rock.
I inhaled diseases from 1700's!
It should come out any moment.
I have to be careful.
It's a wind cap from an old smoking pipe.
A relatively small one.
#2
It's probably just the root. The detector reacts to some trees.
It's a button.
The "shiny" type.
I'm more or less on top of a hill.
Something very fragile.
Part of an old buckle?
(I wonder if I'm sometimes not a little bit too picky.)
A silver button?
#5
I don't like this signal.
A small lead bullet.
Big iron.
Could be something cool.
The soil is hard and compressed...
Looks like I will have to "carve it out".
Have I already mentioned that it's hot today?
(Right when I finished, a short thunderstorm arrived.)
No, it got stuck...
It's a "billhook".
It looks old.
Is this a button?
It looks like silver, but I'm not sure.
Hmm...
I will show you better pictures later.
What?!
A small lead seal.
One second please...
Maybe the very first surveillance "bug" ;).
That's it.
I'll take this.
(Maybe I should have dug the other one too...)
It looks like plastic, but that's painted metal.
I think, this could be U.S. military equipment.
A key!
I can see some writing.
"American USA"
I think, that's foil.
It's probably deeper.
It's right there.
That's a button.
Probably 1700's.
The "concave" type.
Something "big" and relatively shallow.
That's not a good sound...
"HANSA" (beer).
Develops its full taste when warm.
I will make it smaller for my treasure pouch.
There is still something in the hole.
What if someone has hidden a gold coin and covered it with a beer can?
A pull tab?
Something made of aluminum.
A musket ball.
That's a button.
(Napoleonic, with an eagle 1804-1814)
#10
Hmm, unfortunately under a trunk.
The tree is long...
Maybe I can reach it from the side.
A WWII shrapnel.
That was all.
A piece of lead?
Oh, no! I almost hit a bumblebee!
Something is not right... there is another, smaller bee "attached".
Are they "doing" something inappropriate?
Oh no, I disturbed them!
They are laying right above the target.
What should I do now?
I'll wait... let's take a look at Google satellite map, or something.
That's enough.
"Come on, move somewhere else..."
Hmm...
I'll skip this target.
It sounded too good, I have to find it again.
Where was it?
This wasn't it.
(I left it, because it didn't sound like the previous signal?)
"Come on, I gave you enough privacy!"
I will transport their "bed".
(You probably think that I'm crazy. And you're right.)
They moved. "Thank you..."
I couldn't sleep, would I leave this signal.
Is this a buckle?
It looks old. It was worth waiting.
Could be shrapnel.
Yes, that's a button.
Sounds like iron.
I'm not digging it.
This on the other hand...
Under a trunk.
A coin!
"Fly, what do you want?"
"10 Pfennig" (1920's)
Made of zinc, as you probably can see.
Another signal right next to it?
The possibility of finding another coin is very high.
The second coin.
Looks the same.
"10 Pfennig" from 1920's again.
Unfortunately in bad shape.
No more coins?
In this case, maybe it's a good idea to check the previous "iron" signal.
Not this one.
This one.
Let's remove the iron, it could mask another coin.
That's a coin.
"Deus, what are you doing? There better be iron in this hole!"
(Don't worry about this coin, it's zinc...)
Probably another "10 Pfennig" from the 20's.
OK, iron is still there...
That's how this coin "should" sound...
The small chunk of iron.
Is this the sound of the hole with some rust, or a deeper coin?
I'm not convinced...
The fourth coin.
Could I call it a "coin spill"?
It looks smaller, but it's another 10 Pfennig.
I made a short sidestep to check the bushes.
There were the coins.
Surprise, surprise - another coin.
"10 Pfennig" from 1920's.
Boo! Zinc.
2h:14min into the hunt.
Is this even a signal?
That's how it should sound in the first place! :)
Another coin.
Same date and denomination.
But what a unique shape...
A signal in unfilled hole.
This can only be trash from another detectorist.
Aluminum sausage clip.
There it is.
I think, that's a coin.
One second please - the brush.
Very thin copper. ("Could" be a "Stüber" from mid 1700's.)
(Unfortunately I wasn't able to save the detail)
I think, it's time to quit.
Please wait for the pictures, or the "zinc horror show".
My assistants are tired as well.
Is this a U.S. military item?
"American USA"
"JUNCUNC BROS"
U.S. (military) seal?
Any ideas?
More lead finds...
The billhook (not ready yet).
"10 Pfennig" (1917-1922) coin spill.
It is what it is...
"1 Pfennig" (1875) (in great shape)
A button.
1700's?
Another one.
With a shiny surface.
The "concave" button.
1700's?
Wind cap from an old smoking pipe.
A "Stüber" coin from 174x?
Part of a buckle?
A button.
Is this silver/lead compound?
A similar button.
A buckle - "protected" by bumblebees.
French Napoleonic button (1804-1814).
Not much trash.
Treasure. Detecting time: 2h:30min
