1800's !! 3 are first finds for me!

Checked an area around an old looking tree and glad I did.

First find target ID with XP DUES 87-92 kind of jumpy but nice sounding, down about 9 to 10 inches in the hole came the buckle I don't know anything about buckles but it is the first older looking buckle I ever found. Any information on this buckle would be appreciated.

Next target ID with the XP Deus 92-94 sounding quite nice. About 7 to 8 inches down was a coin, upon inspection I believed I saw a shield so I believed it was a shield nickel. Upon further inspection it appears to be a shield two cent piece. 1864. This is a first for me I'm very excited.

Next target I believe was 94-96 nice sounding in about 8 inches down I pulled out an 1825 large cent.

Fourth target in the photograph is another first for me, a flat button, it appears it has little flower designs on it possibly four of them. It is a large flat button really cool.

I'm really excited about these finds today excellent for me couldn't be happier any information on the buckle the flat button and the coins are welcome enjoy the photos. I will take additional photos after cleaning.

Great looking saves! What settings were you using on your Deus?

I am no expert but I’m using a modified GM POWER program
Freq: 18K
Discrim: 10
4 tones 100hz – 10 to 56
350hz – 56 to 76
603hz – 76 to 88
800hz – 88 to 99
Sens: 90
TX Power: 2
Iron Level: 2
Reactivity: 2
Silencer: 0
Audio Response: 3
For ground balance manual set -2 from pumping number ex: if I pump and get 86 I manually set ground balance to 84. I was told from an experienced user this helps get more depth. Also Freq. can be changed to the 12K for more depth but ID numbers are slightly lower. I toggle between the two freq and adjust ground balance each time I change freq.
This is not gospel I’m still learning this machine. I check my own programs against factory ones to see if a reading may improve or get worse etc.
