This week I received my new Deus 2 and decided to try it out on a recently acquired 250+ acre permission along a colonial-present road. Started the day walking towards what I thought was the original home site and found a few flat buttons along the way. The Deus 2 performed amazingly! At the home site I found a piece of a shoe buckle, and quite a few household trinkets. THEN it happened! Button signal... and out pops something square.. As I begin to clean it with a toothbrush, I catch a glimpse of an eagle wing. Needless to say I was freaking out by this point... George Washington's Inaugural symbol but it appears to be on a watch winder, instead of a button. I still can't believe it! Thanks for reading and I hope you are as in love as I am! Happy hunting!

wow, such a great save and unique piece. well done friend
 
Now that's something new on here!
Not seen that design watch winder before.
Seems plausible that its GW related, but when was it made?
Need an expert view on it....
 
Yup There is a variant of a GWI Button that has a similar design. Might be a Possible watch fob, super rare, Congrats,keep diggin'
