Currently Deus XP, also have 2 Minelab Explorer XS as backups.
Primary Interest:
Relic Hunting
So today the Deus and I revisited a Civil War spot I haven't been to, in awhile. It has produced some good buttons, but nothing great today. There is one place in there that I call "Grommet Hill", because you can dig Federal issue ground-cloth or poncho grommets until you get tired and quit. I would conservatively say between myself and digging buddys, we have dug at least 100 grommets in a 30' x 30' area. I always dig a handful, in hopes of finding another button or two in there. Bring-homes today were 12 grommets, several leather rivets, and a quarter-sized colonial Tombac button. Oh, and I met another snake today...

Nice hunt on Grommet Hill. All great saves all around, except of course for the "No Shoulders". Continued Success to you.
