New upgrade maiden voyage

[K1DDO1979]

Finally upgraded to a detector I wanted for a very long time. The black f75 Ltd 2. I laid some old and new coins etc. in my yard at first to play with the settings and messed around a bit just to get use to it. Today I finally took it out to a semi overgrown old field for a couple of hours to give it a shot. It wasn't long until the finds started showing and I am very impressed with the depth of this machine and the boost mode was awesome in the long grass. Some of the finds were super deep. Got a gold filled pocket watch,some nice buttons, 1864 ns one cent, huge 1847 British one penny and some other odds and ends. The coins were rough but I couldn't have asked for more on a first short hunt (except maybe some silver) with the new machine and hope many better finds soon to come. Thanks for looking!

Have you IDed the early Military Button yet? (Early 1800s)

The Livery Button is circa 1830 & is a Greyhound Head:

The button is a "commissariat staff" button. Not sure what this one dates to yet but probably between war of 1812 and victorian. Maybe someone will know! [emoji2]

Yes the Crown is Pre-Victorian.

Thanks. They are probably pretty common button around your area I bet. I can't wait to get back to that field. Got dark on me. I wish the big Victoria penny was in better shape. They are huge. I knew it was one of them or a 1864 New Brunswick token. That was only the second one of those i ever dug. First one came out in great shape.

Think the watch is a wrist watch. I found a similar design on a 1915 (I wish) Rolex...

Nope, Pre-Victorian Military Buttons are far from common over here. Between Dad & I (1000 hours), only 5-10 a year.

I would have never thought that!

"Transitional watch" from pocket watch to wrist watch. Early 1900's! [emoji2]

Remember most wore the uniform whilst abroad, not over here.
