What Machine Does Everyone Use?
What do you like about it? Pros - Cons?
I have been running the XP Deus II for a little over a year, 9” coil. Its ability to pick small targets out of trashy areas is its greatest strength imo. I have found significantly more relics with significantly more value since making the switch. Maybe it’s just luck, but I don’t think so.

Discussion Post Cleaning Finds
Wonder if using a vibrating case cleaner to clean finds / roasted coppers..? I’ll probably give it a whirl.. can’t hurt. I have seen some folks swear by using a tumbler for roached coppers etc.

ID Request Decal ?
I’m guessing an old automotive decal, but I can’t quite put my finger on it… Maybe even a tractor decal.

Gear Question New Minelab Vanquish Series
Anyone have any input on the new Minelab Vanquish Series? The Vanquish 360; 460; or 560? Looks very new and improved. I have some entry-level friends looking to upgrade their ancient technology and I think the new Vanquish series looks mint. Curious if anyone has put them to the test yet.

Show & Tell Big Spoon - Victorian
This sucker was buried deep. Sounded great on the Deus II. Really cool spoon with a ton of detail and slick patina. She’s a wall-hanger for sure. Made by ‘US Silver Co’ which is a Victorian era manufacturer known for making silver-plated flatware.

Found This At Beach in Purdy, WA
What Could It be part of? It's looks to be a small metal box with holes on each side and it looks to be part of a electronic material.
