Beautiful button I know how exciting they are to find I’ve been detecting a spot that has blessed me with 5 War of 1812 buttons. Congratulations if there’s one there’s two [emoji1360]

I have to second that that small little 6 inch hits deep It had a lead toy dog that hit at 11 inches with that small coil I was shocked and happy
