Great finds. I have gotten a good snorkel / mask combo and am going to attempt some underwater searching with the Deus II here in Michigan when the waters warm. Thinking of getting at least a wet suit for the colder lakes.
I am still having very low vol when in pinpoint when on speaker. Seems to be ok on ws6 attached to my headphones. Time still a problem.. Working on it, trying to reset time, remember to recheck when I do any changes,
1910-1937 Signal Corp Brass; depends on the type of back attachment. https://www.germandaggers.com/Gallery/USCD.php Not a complete listing of all army brass but this one has what you have..
Nice finds.
1910-1926 screwback with a concave screwback, 1926-1937 screwback with a flatfaced screwback. Note that both are the textured brass with raised edge while the 37-43 is not textured, it is flat with no raised edge.
I have never had the clock appear at any setting that appeared Large if that is what you mean by blown up. My problem with the clock on Ver 2 is that it no longer keeps proper time...
I have not checked the pinpoint vol. as I seldom use it. But the time keeping is really bad and I have a real need for that to work. I don't wear any jewelry when detecting, (one would wonder why) ๐ซค
