    Video games anyone?

    I got a nice Xbox 360 slim with low hours. I got 3 controllers, power supply, hdmi cable and 30 of the best first person shooters, rpgs and some other random titles. Most are rated “M” and contain mature content. Call of duty 4: modern warfare and modern warfare 2 have 2 copies. Not sure how...

    A kepi with a strand of thread left?

    And I now that I think of it...there was a wasted old ball cap nearby. All that was left was the plastic bill. And some of the band where it’s thicker fabric. I swept over it and got the little steel rivet piece that holds the top of the cap together. I might have to go back there and look at...

    A kepi with a strand of thread left?

    Rode my sons bike to the end of the road and ditched it in the woods. Walked around with the DEUS for and hour and a half working an old road bed. Didn’t dig anything. Got back to the bike and hit this. I think it’s a kepi buckle...and it has a hefty blue thread still tangled on it!!! One image...

    Two buttons I found today?

    Smaller button maybe not American? Or not military? Larger button I’m not sure about either. Great finds though! I will try to find a two piece with that image for the larger one...

    Epic week in the heartland...bucketlisters

    Nothing like hunting old family ground. Our farm has been in the family since the 1870s. My partner dug a 1829 capped bust half dime in our melon field. It’s by far the best find I’ve seen come from that property. We have lived on it for so long and had so many buildings and equipment over the...

    Epic week in the heartland...bucketlisters

    Yes relics are what get me. Coins are a bonus but are tough to find on a really old site. I was at a supposed 1850s school (corn field) for the large cent. Silver came from an old yard that had a newer home on it. The v nickel and Indians came from a tiny city park in Illinois. All the wheats...

    Epic week in the heartland...bucketlisters

    That’s the goal. Settlement period. My research centers around fur trade to CW. 1790s-1850s homesites mostly.

    Epic week in the heartland...bucketlisters

    Took my partner, the DEUS and the Nox back to Iowa for a week. Conditions were perfect weather wise but were thick and some fields still in corn stalks and high grass. So not perfect but not bad. These are pics of what made it into the keeper pile. Notice the dragoon 1830s eagle buttons...

    Deep coins

    Agreed. Hunting deep targets is its own type of work. Not very often is a clean target from multiple angles. I use the pinpoint as a tool more than the rotation on the NOx. I always try my luck at a site when somethings deep.

    Deep coins

    Perhaps the OP needs to mess with iron bias a little bit until he’s used to how it acts on deep iron. Use FE 0 instead of F2. I’ve been doing fine on deep 10-12” bullets using FE 0 and yes I get a good amount of iron tones on any small target that deep. You just understand that it’s deep so it’s...

    Another brass piece. Not sure what.

    That’s how I’m thinking it goes, yes. The flange with the holes is thick and heavy compared to the end with the tapered hole. It’s heavier than anything decorative. It had a job to do.

    Another brass piece. Not sure what.

    It just seems to heavy of material for a candle holder. Someday I’ll figure it out lol

    Back-Up Metal Detector..??

    I’ll give you 150$ for it 🤣 Yes they are great detectors. Super reliable and easy. Good depth and speed.

    Another brass piece. Not sure what.

    Found this around a bunch of dropped bullets. It’s definitely of interest. One end is hollow with a tapered hole, like inverted cone. No threads or anything. The other end is solid and flat with small holes through it around the perimeter. It’s a lathe made piece of brass from what I can tell...

    My neighbor is an awesome fella

    I got a permission from an older gentleman at the end of my street. It couldn’t have come at a better time as I’ve just been kinda discouraged at my lack of legitimate spots. Plus he and his wife are amazing people and I’ve had a lot of fun just being around them. He’s got a few acres and an old...

    Artillery related?

    Yes that was with the DEUS. I then switched to the Nox shortly after to deal with all the aluminum
