Pictured are my last 2 relic hunts with by brand new Deus....... on Christmas Day I was fortunate to hit a small 4 by 4 area where I dug 3 French Rev War buttons ( 2 coat 41's and 1 cuff 41 from the Sasoinois Regiment). Also found was a 1738 one reale and 2 cut 2 reales. On New Years Day a return visit yielded a super rare cuff 70 (Lanquedoc Regiment) and another cut 2 reale along with a bayonet tip, a 1773 Half Penny, and a 1777 coin from the Netherlands known as a Duit. 2016 was an awesome year with the discovery of 11 French Revolutionary War buttons!!! I dug 2 coat 8's and 4 cuff 8's (Bearn Regiment), 1 cuff 18 (Gatanois Regiment, 2 coat 41's and 1 cuff 41 (Sassoinois Regiment) and my favorite my first ever 2 piece officers button.....a cuff 16 (Forez Regiment). This 16 is as rare as they come. 2017 has started off with a bang with the discovery of a cuff 70 (Lanquedoc regiment)......another rare regiment and only my third in over 30 years of relic hunting. Living in Yorktown all my life......these little gems mean more to me than you know! My goal for 2017 is at least 12!!! Everyone be careful if you got hit by this snow.....we got 12 inches in Yorktown. HH Devonrex

Great stuff. My Deus is now two weeks old and has pulled stuff from areas I had hit hard. Now for the snow to melt....
