Hey guys,
Haven't been able to dig much lately, but the my wife finally kicked me into gear with an Xmas gift of the Deus HF 9 inch coil. Been swinging the HF elliptical for some time now, but was excited to see how the round coil compared. Headed out to a tried and true spot and was not disappointed. First up was a nice rev war era sling buckle.
As dug
Light toothpicking
Not far from the buckle I found a few other varieties along with a nice assortment of flat buttons
These silvers were missed among the iron on previous visits, as both were standing vertically in the plug. Rang in nicely with the pitch program - 1789 half real and a 179X 1 reale.
As dug
Oddly enough this monster shark tooth was on the surface nearby. This one predates Megaladon, a few pipes on the top as well
Also pulled a nice 1857 flying eagle and a victorian lady's sash buckle.
This one is probably my favorite of the finds, an early 1800s saw medallion manufactured by Eagle Works, in Sheffield, England around 1835. Would have been inlaid into the handle of a hand saw.
Here's how it would have looked
All in all, impressed with the round HF performance and should supplement the elliptical nicely among the iron. As always thanks for looking and good luck digging in 2019.
