Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
I put the Deeptech Smart Plus to a nail test to see what it could do. It passed with flying colors. Even with the small Super Six search coil it could still get a good audio response at 12+ inches above the quarter.

I headed back to the site that I last detected to do some beep and digging. Even though the house that's there now was in the mid-fifties the subdivision where it's located use to be an old plantation. It's no telling what might pop out the ground. I find old skeleton keys and Indian Head pennies etc..

It didn't take long after starting the grid search before I got my search coil over a good target. A button a little larger than a penny with some eagle wings on it popped out of the ground. My next good target was a large button with an anchor on it. I don't know what heck it is. Any how other than those two buttons all that I found at that site today was a bunch of trash and around a half dozen coins. I pounded it pretty hard on my last hunt (23 wheats and 2 silvers).

On my way home, I saw a lady out in her yard that gave me permission to detect her yard a couple of years ago, so I stopped and gave her some homegrown tomatoes and chatted with her for awhile. Nice lady, she has gotten me a couple permissions around her so far.

After leaving there I stopped at another site that I've detected before and found a few more coins including a 1955 Canadian Five Cent coin. I didn't detect there for long because the ground is still hard and I don't like hunting in the heat of the summer. I'm going to rest up some before heading back out to do some more detecting.

Could be NAVY coat or (long shot) fishing captains coat button? They might use a button for on deck foul weather.
 

eagle button looks like a civil war general service button
