A lot of folks like the pitch program. I got some DEEP stuff on Deus fast yesterday. Never could adjust to the pitch program, I guess because I'm used to silent searching with my Tesoros.

Pitch also found a very deep, broken civilian pewter button for me as well last fall in an area I've hunted 20+ times......nice find!

Be careful cleaning and preserving that one!

 

[Whatdayagot]

Any recommendations? I just dug this about 8 yards to the left of the button

 

[G.A.P.metal]

After cleaned of dirt.
Take Elmer`s glue and water it down about 30% and coat it a few times with it..use a small paint brush!!!!
Also be careful not to drop it might shatter

What G.A.P. metal said and do NOT let it dry out between getting the dirt off and adding the Elmer's.

 

[G.A.P.metal]

yes and do it very soon...it will start to flake...and deteriorate.
Please show us a picture all cleaned up...what state r you in ?

If that ball is a 69 cal.
69 cal. is what most of the men in the Sullivan Campaign carried through here N.Y. in 1779...but not the riflemen.

I don't have a good sense of how rare the USA button's are, but it's near the top of my bucket list. I'm giving a banner vote.

Calabash I’ve been over this site a hundred times recently been using the sonar program and ultimate which were picking off buttons left n right then I hit a stand still and maybe one button twenty nails/iron pieces as soon as I got there I put your program in and within two mins found the old tool and the USA button do t think I missed going over that spot I found pewter buttons with the other programs but this hit like a ton of bricks loving it thanks again!!!
