Crotal bell was barely audible at 10" but yet silver plated suspender clip was screaming at same depth? Go figure.

And Scott Clark's first hour.

Calabash gave me his program also and it immediately became my GO TO programs for the Deus. Now that I have learned the detector a bit more I adjusted it some as he suggested you could. congrats on the finds!

congrats on the finds! when you use your machine a little more you can tweak it a little and make it a really deep seeking fast program but my advice is use it a little first and see how it does because it makes it more chatty .

Nice finds. Always imagine the stories behind how some of those objects got where they did.

Was using 12, with Calabash's program. It was a solid signal from all directions. It was just a whisper though.
There was a wire fence there 100 years ago leaving all sorts of noise where I dug that at. I'm sure it had something to do with it. The white button in the pic was in it and what ever they put inside it to jingle was to.

I told one of my teens that it was a drop from Santa's Sleigh. I was called pathetic.

I've had a lot of eye rolls from my family on some of the stranger finds I bring home and the stories I imagine them to be. Like the 2 foot tall brass candlestick I found buried at the beach (thought it was a buried 12-pack of beer cans at first based on the signal). It was nicely tarnished with what appeared to be a broken pieces of a concrete stand nearby and imagined it may have fallen off a period ship or something and washed ashore until I turned it over and saw the barcode sticker still barely clinging to the damp base. Even though it was modern, I then wondered how it got where it was (strange beach religious ritual? Leftover from a romantic dinner on the sand?). My wife now wonders how it got to the garage and why it's still there.

Thank you for the laugh to start my day off with! Sounds like something my 13 year old son would say [emoji3]
