George my collection is a lot smaller, but now i have the Deus 2 I have to say the old ones are just for wall decorations its not that i dont like them its I am 85 years old and cant hunt for 8 hours like I used to. The Deus weight of 2 lbs lets me have at least 3 hours of hunting its been a lifesaver for some one that still likes to hunt, Keep the post comming your collection is outstanding.

Does the Deus 11 support any wireless pointers? I am old and hard of hearing and with gloves I can barely feel the vibration on my Garrett. Stick

Looks like a center to a hub cap from the 60's or 70's

If they had reworked the workings of the Compadre and made a discriminating and waterproof pin pointer they could have sold thousands of them.

What does the back look like? I have dug small dragon like side plates from Flint Lock rifles but none so fancy they also had screw holes in them.

Strick congratulation. I have some advice that's a very nice coin and you will never forget that feeling when you found it. I told the story here of finding two $5 gold some time back also I found a 2 1/2 1836 on the Santa Fe trail in 1988 that is the one I wear.
I used to look at my finds once a year at our metal detecting open house and realized that I would never get rid of my gold coins so I had a friend make me a bezel and bought a nice gold chain, I wear it at least once a week and the feeling of when I found it comes back every time. You will never forget the feeling.
Enjoy Stick.

I belong to LostMyStuff.Net there is no charge for looking or finding items. Members pay a small fee each year to belong, as for myself I have a 100 mile limit that I will travel to look for items. I said look because some times it's not where they think they lost it.

Just finding old coins is what I enjoy, so far this year I have found a 1867 shield nickel 1907 V nickel 1918 Buffalo 1943 war nickel
plus after over 40 years of detecting my first 3 cent nickel 1865. And 2 two cents a 1866 and 1864. The war nickel is the only silver coin I found this year so far.

Strick I think the image on the watch is of the Battle Ship the USS MAINE . The ship was a cry for the Spanish American war (Remember the Maine)

My Tesoro's a Silver Saber Plus , Tiger Shark and a Tejon, have all been back for repairs with shipping one way. I can not say enough about the Tesoro lifetime warranty I have had the Silver Saber Plus for over 30 years and still use it with the clean sweep coil for clad hunting. Wish I could find a clean sweep for the tejon . I had to send my Pro Pointer back for repairs and could not find the receipt I had to take their word it was out of warrant cost $50. All receipts now stay with the box they came in and go in to storage.

I used a bulletin board magnet i bought at Walmart it snaps in and you can remove it, helps find small nails and iron bits just reverse your pinpointer. 30 Magnets in a box the 6 large ones are just the right size. about $5.
