So, I go up to my home state of Connecticut to bring my 18 year old son to his mother and to see some friends. I bring my Deus to poke around my friends house as it was built in 1952. 5 days into the visit I finally break out the Deus and start swinging..... this thing is going crazy!
constant chatter and falsing all over the yard! I'm baffled.....nothing helps, not changing the frequency, not shifting, ground balancing.... NOTHING! 
So I start to put it away and my buddy is like can you try to find if there is another one of these crazy brick and rebar things in the ground ( he shows me one) I say I can try..its going nuts! Now to back fit this story a touch.... I had the detector in the back of my truck in a tote for the ride up.... when I was trying to secure a lid on another tote with a bungee and I put just a little too much weight on the lid and my foot went through it! I came down on the detector 
I didn't look....and my foot was caught too as it broke on three sides to let my foot in but I couldn't pull it out and my so and so self proclaimed better half was across the parking lot smoking and not paying attention to my trapped butt!
anyway, with all the falsing going on I am thinking now I broke my detector with my foot! I start swinging and I get a good signal through the chatter and I pull a strange piece of metal about the size of an 8" sharpening stone and it appears to be lead.... then I get a solid 60 with good tone showing shallow.... I break the pin pointer out and can barely detect a signal, I shove my digger in and flick the dirt up and I'm looking at a barber!! 
1900 Barber Nickel... never found a Barber anything! I control my excitement a touch to admire this coin.... pretty clean it is.... Then I move about 4' away and get another solid 60.... out comes the pin pointer and digger again and pop out a buffalo!! !!!? how is this possible? Then I see the date, which is rare... and again...so clean... So I stand up and punch said buddy in the arm with significant umph! He stares shockingly at me for a split second until his smile gives him away!! PLANTED!!!!!! at least he gave my heart a skip for a minute! Bastard 
At least I got to keep the coins! lol

i could still find targets, but that interference was enough to drive a fella nuts!
