Good to talk to you as well. Wow a lot of history there. Great on your finds. We don’t have that down here so the best finds are far between.

Hey F350Platinum, I really appreciate that info. That will help me a lot. I am in SW Virginia, Floyd Co, and found it at an old home site dating early to maybe mid 1800’s.

Yesterday while detecting with my deus 2 I found a small metal button. I know very little about old buttons. I have been detecting for quite a few years but a button like this has eluded me. Can anyone possibly id it and maybe an idea when it was made. The dime is just for size comparison. Thanks.

The main thing I was trying to emphasize is how well in those conditions the detector ran. It was very stable and quiet. I was able to tweak settings to achieve the result I wanted. I’m Yes I heard iron but it wasn’t an issue. The jewelry was 6-7 inches deep. I realize if it isn’t under the coil you have zero chance of finding it but I do feel the deus 2 is one of the best machines out there and it’s capabilities has helped increase my finds due to unmasking etc. Thanks for your reply.

I went detecting at a park today the first time since updating to ver 1.0. Very little iron. I used sensitive FT as my base and raised sensitivity to 95, high square tone, audio response down to 3 , no notch. And loved how it did. Very stable. I found these my first silver with ver 1.0 along with coins, pull tabs and usual trash. Even found a 12ga head stamp UMC new club which was made from 1892-1900. So over all a great 3 hour hunt

While detecting at a local elementary school with my deus2 I found this Hardee’s fun machine coin. I had never heard of this coin before. Has anyone found this coin before? I did a little research on it and found it interesting. Thanks for looking.
