Well-known member
I decided to post a summary of my 2023 Finds.
My primary eTrac detector quit in May, so I took the plunge and switched to the XP Deus II and worked on a custom program and settings that translated well for me from my eTrac. I am glad I did.
Most of the finds shown were found with that new XP Deus 2 machine.
Just about all of my hunting for 2023 was done in North and South Dakota with a couple hunts coming in Minnesota and Iowa. Everything shown was at found at public sites I researched or have been to in the past.
I really want to thank everyone for following my detecting posts this past year and all of your positive comments!

Other Finds Summary
Tokens - The large $1.00 and 50 cent Tokens with the 1914 Patent date found at a nearby school site are some of my favorites.
Fobs And Tags - The 1908 William Jennings Bryan campaign fob and circa 1915 Avery Kerosene Tractor fob are 2 of my favorites.
Jewelry - The solid silver winged nymph pendant (1st silver jewelry with Deus 2), Silver and Gold Onyx men's ring and the Black Hills silver leaf ring are some memorable jewelry pieces.
Relics - The large coin silver pocket watch piece with a patent date of 1879 has to be my favorite. This was pulled at a nearby old school site.
Toys - The larger International 1947 K5 truck and 1938 Buick Roadster were some of my favorites.
