Metal Detecting a Hidden Waterfall (XP Deus 2)

[@shaundevane3549]

Look at the edge of the quarter. if you see a copper ring, it's a clad quarter.

[@fauxque5057]

Your quarter is easy to tell of its silver. First the edge will be solid silver colored. The clad quarter will be a sandwhich. Copper in the center betwern two silver halves. The easy way to tell is drop it on the counter. If it rings out its silver. If it's a dull thud its clad. And as others have said, never polish coins. If it was silver and was worth 8 grand, it wouldn't be after you cleaned it

[@kescco]

Correcf

[@charlieb9502]

An easier way to see if that quarter is silver or not is to look at the edge of the coin if you see a copper ring in the center of the edge of the coin it is not silver. And I agree cleaning any coin past just using water will lessen the value greatly.

[@noway57]

Run it under an at pro or any other model of metal detector. If it rings high on the pro it would be in the 90s range. Exactly 87 if clad

Hi Nora. I'm a coin collector so, 1965 to 1967 quarter's had no mint mark because the US mint was trying to discourage collectors not to hold them until the mint caught up making coins. They were a little behind production. If it's silver you have a small gold mine.

[@ShroomDay0117]

Rusty you forgot to mention that she destroyed the numismatic value as soon as she put that polish on it. @Nora, if you ever think a coin might be valuable, never clean it. Show it to someone with some knowledge and ask them how to handle it. Two small helpful tips, One is never put an old copper coin dug from the ground under water. You can wipe it gently with a toothbrush but beyond that, dont run it under water. And for silver coins, you CAN run those under water but NEVER NEVER rub on it. As soon as you start rubbing on an old silver coin, each stroke depreciates the value. And by the time you're done polishing it, you got shiny🐩💩 left. The value is all gone. I hope that helps. With all that said, I've always enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you for the endless hours of entertainment. 🥰

[@Rodbar22]

@@ShroomDay0117 Don't ever try and restore a coin!!!!

[@ShroomDay0117]

@@Rodbar22 Did you actually read my comment or just glance at it and see something completely different other than what I wrote? Because I'm pretty sure thats what I was getting at. Not to mention , nobody can "restore" a coin. You cant add metal to fill scratches or revert corrosion into solid copper again. Now that I got that straightened out, if someone finds an old coin and decides they want to clean it and add it to their collection, who are we to tell them what to do or what not to do with their coin. There's nothing wrong with cleaning a coin as long as they dont try and represent it as something its not.

[@angelaesquibel5649]

Today is the 1st video I have ever seen of yours!! I am a fan already!! U need a satchel/ bag with either velcro or draw string to place treasures in. Or I could sew u some arm band pouches to put smaller items in so your hands are more free to move about. U almost need a second nate with you to film for you. U could try velcro straps that adjust to try to keep it on or u may have to rig up a dash phone holder like one with the magnetic ball on it to keep screen secure. Cool finds woman!! Let me know I will sew u up something for your hunting!!

[@petbytes7167]

Detectors like the one you used are easier to handle when only the shaft and coil are submerged. Of course the control head can too which is great when you're in hunting in say 4-5' of water. Otherwise they are cumbersome fully submerged and held nearly horizontal while sweeping the coil. Great finds!

[@romrixx]

Dan''s Lanyards does a tether for the Deus 2 head, because if you lose it, they are $680 to replace. Detect-Ed in Australia does an upgraded carbon fibre upper shaft with an improved head lock on it. Good finds and that is a lovely long haired Schnauzer you have.

Never never NEVER polish a coin find

[@Baldie731]

why?

[@talvalon999]

@@Baldie731 could damage the coin and reduce the value, best to take it to an expert before doing anything to it

[@casdvm]

That is ABSOLUTELY correct. If that coin has real value, the polishing just destroyed close to 50% of it. Total bummer.

[@Rasputin-p4e]

Never never my foot. You don't need expert just to clean it. So long you have the common knowledge to clean it wisely.

[@stinkasscat]

What all these comments talking about not cleaning coins aren't being explicit about is 'if it's a valuable coin', A coin coming out of the ground isn't going to have much value due to environmental damage anyway, unless it's a gold coin that is less likely to have environmental damage. I can't stand hearing people say 'Never do this or do that.' I clean my coins before I put them in a book, because I want them to look nice. Most seasoned detectorist would do the same thing. I don't think many coin dealers are detectorist.

[@davidleslie1963]

Hey Nora! The quarter is a 40% silver reg. coin. Condition is everything. Never polish the coins cuz it kills any collectibility value. Sorry. BUT, If you’ve got a 1965 quarter that weighs more than 6 grams, it’s worth getting inspected in-hand by a coin certification firm that encapsulates coins in plastic slabs.

[@joelmasson3539]

I use the Deus 2 with the shorter dive shaft and bone conductor headphones. The control module has a slightly tighter fit on the dive shaft than the standard shaft. I would avoid handling the detector by the control module under water, also I secure the cable from the bone conductor headphones to the handle of the shaft with the provided velcro strips to prevent it from dislodging the control module from the shaft mount. The Deus 2 is a great machine - Enjoy!

[@NoraSvet]

Thags awesome. Thank you! 😃

[@donniecanby9681]

Hello Nora. Looks like you are starting off with nice finds on your new detector. Congratulations on the gold ring. Be safe! Donnie- W.V. 🇺🇲

[@shauncrohn34]

Nora, I just want to say....your videos are always so beautifully shot...the quality is awesome. Thank you

[@NoraSvet]

Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoy them ❤️

[@charlesfreed5045]

Definately need the dive shaft. The original shaft's bottom locking mechanism has metal that interferes with the coil when shortening the shaft to dive. There are some excellent videos on youtube that test this. The Deus II is Amazing. The dive shaft doesnt require any extra prep as the wiring is built into the shaft. Good Luck!!!!

[@NoraSvet]

Ok I have the dive shaft so I'll try it but I prefer the longer one cause it covers more ground when I'm swinging 🤔

[@had2galsinthebooth]

I'm not a collector but back before I lost it the edge of my 1940-something silver quarter looked different than new quarters. New ones had a dark line on that thin edge and the silver was only the silver color. Also a silver quarter has a distinct sound when dropped on a table if you drop it,then drop a non-silver one you can surely hear a difference.

[@robertmacfarlane8176]

Wow, that sunset is just beautiful.

[@saintsefo4763]

Hi, Nora. Lovely to see Kairo, again. He's still very much the playful type, isn't he. I confess that when he was flinging the gravel around at the end, I instinctively turned my head away from my screen 😂 You could ask Michael Oliver about the Deus II display problem plus any of the modifications he's made. Excellent 14K gold ring find. It doesn't look like anyone's been detecting there since your last visit. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy and safe 👍

[@carollamprey2617]

I absolutely love where you dive and it's so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this video! I think if you find old coins it might not be good to clean up. I would bring it to a person who studied coins find.

[@banqshawt]

Hey Nora.... conventional wisdom among numismatists is to not polish your coins, but the kid in me always likes them shiny. Your coin, your choice. 🙂 Look along the 'reeded' edge of your quarter, if some orange/pink shows through it is a copper-nickel quarter worth around $9 in the best of best condition. If it is silver only on the edge you've got a good one.

[@dawnprochilo8084]

Hey Nora, so happy to see you posted. I'm glad Kairo joined you this time, he got so big, still like a puppy though. You didn't do too bad. That area is beautiful, couldn't get over how clear the water was. Looking forward to your next video. Take care.

[@ClashwithCanada10]

Nice hunt with the Deus! Congrats on the gold ring and other finds.

[@stevepacifico6017]

That is an awesome machine you are using. There are aftermarket 3D printed inserts that you can lock the module in place so it does not come loose. I’ve also adapted mine and inserted the antenna wire into the shaft in a kind of a long loop. Just need to drill a hole in top to slide the antenna through and connect to module. I can collapse my shaft completely at extend fully while the antenna is inside the shaft.

[@tracypond2418]

In 1965 they started using copper sandwiched between the silver layers, check the side edge of the quarter, it should show a thin line of copper. Yet, (if I'm not mistaking) some of the 1965's were still full silver. 1964 were the last of the true silver coin's, dime's, quarter's and fifty cent piece's. 💰

[@noway57]

50 cent pieces still had some silver

[@joecameron3674]

they are copper sandwiched between two layers of cupro-nickel not silver.

[@ynoT_63]

I thought I recognized the location as soon as you started walking the trail. My first thought when you picked up that one coin was how thick it is. The 1965 quarter is a cool find. I was 5 when it came out. Good to see Kairo. Looks like he enjoyed the hike. As for the detector screen...you might try wedging something small, like a toothpick, in the groove once the screen is in place. If you really want to get fancy you can drill a small hole and tap threads into it so you can use a small Allen Head set screw to secure it. That way you can lock it down when you use it and back the set screw out a bit so you can still take the screen off when you want. Thanks for sharing this adventure.

[@icefire99699]

If that was a rare minted quarter, cleaning it looses all of its numismatic (collectible) value, unless you were selling it as scrap silver. Like your own research discovered, it is not silver though. If you are interested in the future, when you find coins, do not clean them until you are sure they have no value except face value. If you want to check if something is silver or gold and can't find identifying marks, first step is to use a magnet. All precious metals are non-ferrous and shouldn't be magnetic. I hope this helps. Great video!

[@paulmiller7276]

Back then they made coins from solid silver and it’s probably worth a lot to a Colector. Love to see your Giant Schnauzer. My mini is with me all the time!

Took me forever to learn the Deus but now every other machine sucks, including my Equinox 800

[@marklanders630]

I have considered the Deus2, but I'm very happy with the Excaliburs. I do see a lot of people using the Deus are finding more small targets that I don't think the excal would detect unless I changed my settings, but I'm more interested in finding rings than earrings.

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

XPD2. ‘Bout time. Great platform. I do recommend the bone phones for underwater.

[@opshortonmetaldetecting]

If your going to use the D2 underwater you’re better off getting the underwater kit it’s much lighter and the bones headphones there is also an aftermarket bracket which goes around the control box holding it safely on the stem! Just trying to lighten your load even more 😊 and a 9” coil BUT you may already have that fitted just couldn’t see on my phone 😊

[@treasure_hunters]

Always good to watch your videos Nora. Greetings from sunny South Africa.

[@geterdone171]

aw you finally got the D2 its the best out there you will love it .I see you have the 11 inch coil .I like the 9 inch coil better you can get around better

[@vannagm9603]

So excited 🎉for today's video with Kairo in it!

[@ut000bs]

Don't forget, like with the Excalibur, the sound of the target is important like the ID number. The sound can sometimes tell you the difference between a gold ring and a bit of tinfoil that will show the same number. Learned that on Minelab and XP products both. That is why headphones are actually pretty important. Especially if it is an area where you don't want to dig a lot of trash or you don't have a lot of time. I see you already knew this but a lot of people do not pay enough attention to the sound they hear. The Excalibur helped you a ton with this, I bet. That quarter is clad. Also, had it been a silver mistake you took a quarter off its value by cleaning it. Never clean a coin you believe might be, or is, valuable. Please, Nora. The ring has about $300 worth of gold in it.

[@NoraSvet]

Yeah, I'm struggling getting used to the sounds of the xp. I have it down with the excal but the change is difficult. Thanks for watching! 😄

The pound coin can be 'paid' into a bank account or post office where you will get one pound transferred or exchanged into your account for you to spend.
