Daniel,
For what it is worth, I tried my Deus at several Culpeper DIVs. The Deus did not work well in that hot ground. Depth was extremely limited. The woods helped some with the ground mineralization but the ground was still too hot for an accurate tonal ID. Having said all this, if you intend to look for huts or trash pits, the Deus does great at checking all that lose dirt you have dug out of the hole.
