Deus nailed the smalls today, silver and HURRY HARD!

[Gridwalker306]

Had an hour tonight, went back to where I found the 1867 IH last night. I've always kept my silencer setting at -1, but I've read that turning it up to 0 or +1 won't hurt the separation or depth in iron infested areas. I bumped it up to 0 the last few hunts and maybe it helped.

I got a very poor yet hopeful signal and amongst the load of crap came this 1904 fishscale.

All this came from the hole with the silver coin!

The little curling rock is super small, it was hard to find in the dirt, but I knew something was there.

It was a fun hour tonight!

Congratulations. Great job pulling the silver out of that mess. Like the curling stone. My favorite winter sport.

Very nice finds. The persistence paid off. I think I would have given up after pulling half of that wire out of the hole.

I have no idea either. It's very thin and tiny. I will post a pic of the back later today.

The curling stone was a surprise, at first I thought it was just a melty blob. Must have been part of a pin. I like curling as well, and it's crazy that I have never tried it! Thanks tom

Thanks vferrari. This is the location that had me posting questions on the Deus forum about maximizing iron separation. It's such a productive spot, but it can me maddening.

The long wire ran through the hole in with the majority stretching several feet in either direction. I almost did give up!

I have no idea, will post a pic of the other side later

The unknown coin appears to have a likeness of Lady Liberty and 13 stars. I can't make out the date.
The Statue of Liberty was dedicated
October 28, 1886.. Do you think it might be a commemorative coin or token?

 

[Gridwalker306]

Ok here a shot of both sides. It's not a coin unfortunately, and looks to have a small oval on the back where something was attached. Maybe it was a button or stud to decorate clothing, or perhaps something leather like an old wallet or belt. Possibly a really old play coin?

It's smaller than a halfdime, paper thin, and I think the date is 1901. Anybody seen this type of thing before?

 

[ajaj]

Really, really cool find. I'm not sure; could it be from a button or jewelry?

[treblehunter]

The Deus will find some tiny targets extremely well, took me a long time to be able to tell the tiny from the coin size.
Is that (fishscale) a Dime or a Half Dime? Or is it a Nickle?
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lol
Great finds!

 

[Trezurehunter]

Those are some nice looking finds.
