#6 Musket Ball Hill--XP Deus gets me 1765 Silver!!!!!!!!

[Full Metal Digger]

Hey Diggers,
Yes, you read it right. I have switched from the e-trac to the XP Deus. The e-trac is a great machine but not for hunting in Europe. The Deus has amazed me with it's capabilities for tiny signals.

Tonight I got my oldest silver and oldest coin ever! A 1 Kreuzer dated 1765. In the 1700's Germany was not yet a country. Rather a confederation of states. This coin is from the free state of Frankfurt. It rang up like a tiny button. I knew it was a silver coin as soon as I saw it (even though it was black). Here's some pics. HH, Dave.

Congrats on your oldest coin (so far) Dave! And it's a silver one too! (Just like Terra Germania finds.) I knew it was just a matter of time before you found something like this. I have a feeling this will be just the tip of the iceberg!

:congrats:

Awesome find! Also a big congrats on your oldest coin.

I think Vegas has the over/under on the number of times you will change your avatar this year at 2.5. With so many great finds in just the first month I'm going "over"!

Congrats on your oldest silver!

Congrats on an awesome find Dave. I knew it would not be long before you broke that oldest silver record, WTG.

The best part about finding old stuff in the ground is researching the history that surrounds it. Great find!

 

[Cheap Thrills]

Did you buy a Deus?

I did! EVERYONE uses them over here. There must be a reason for it. The e-trac is great for sniffing out American coins and especially silver but it's not really set up for what you can find over here. Plus, the deus is so light and easy to maneuver around trees and limbs. It took me about 3 days using it to get the hang of the signals and understanding its "language."

Lovely coin! I feel certain that it won't be your oldest silver for very long. There are Romans over there.
