Hats off to you both
I was elated and to my wife’s annoyance I said it is up there with the birth of my son!
FYI for those wanting to know it was a pair of deus that found them!

personally i think it Matters not what machines you used . i have seven machines and my Deus ranks as one of shallowest,great for hammy hunting . Detecting success is 99% related to land your on and 1% related to machines and skill set of user .minelab ctx3030
