I have been using Garys "hot" program that he shared on the XP Classroom website XP Deus hot and cold programs
I was hunting in an iron infested sugar cane field that seems to have a little bit of everything, a "mixed site" as we like to call it. Signs of habitation from late colonial times all the way through the 1920s or so.
This program, a modified #3 Deus Fast program, really homes in on the smallest of non iron targets, really deep among nails and other iron blips. I was pulling shotgun primers out of nails at 5 inches.
I managed to sniff out 4 flat buttons (one was a basket weave design that I'm told are from 1790-1800), a musket ball, a brass piece of a ruler, a silver plated spoon or fork handle that was really ornate, a 1920 D Mercury dime (my second ever Merc) bent by the plow and a 1813 Spanish One reale.
Also numerous pack studs or rivets, which ever you prefer to call them, and numerous shotgun shell brass and modern bullets.

Happy Hunting- Thanks for looking
