More nice relics and a coin with Deus from early site including some firsts

[toasted]

Third hunt on my recently found colonial site. First two hunts with my Equinox were mostly lead and tombacs. I did pick up a wiped farthing size copper yesterday too. Used my Deus in full tones zero disc with the Deus Fast program. I must say the Deus is my choice when relic hunting on my old field sites. It just glides over the iron and nonferrous really stands out

Nice variety of relics tonight. Please correct me if Im wrong on anything. Finds include more tombacs, thimbles, some fancy two piece buckle fragments, a couple small early tombac nipple buttons, a broken circa 1700 spur buckle, the button with masonic? symbols on it as well as what I believe to be a KG II Hibernia farthing. Firsts included the crude cast lead button with shank and paste stone button and another paste stone that I eyeballed

That would be nice but Id rather find a good condition milled Spanish. Ive found enough cobs this year This site sure has a lot of relics for so few coins though

The Deus kicked some butt today. Congrats. What settings were you using on the Nox?

Nox 600, Field 2, 50 tones, recovery 3, iron bias 1, sensitivity 22, all metal. Nox is justtoo squirrelly in the iron. I havent tried running it in single frequency though. It may help to lower my sensitivity next time too. Deus is about a pound lighter and I can really feel the difference after a longer hunt

Maybe try lowering the recovery to 2 also. At 3 the signals are just too fast (for me). I did some testing and 2 separated just as good as 3 (maybe some more depth as well at lower sensitivity) but more importantly the tones were much easier to isolate. (3 feels too short-staccato)

A milled Spanish over a cob? Better be a pillar 2 reales! lol. Some cut pistareens will do nicely!

Yeap, nice masonic cufflink (18th C)

The 17th C nipple button, I'm not sure they were tombac but I'm often wondered what they were.

Now that's a nice group of finds. I found a linked pair of those Masonic cufflinks a couple years ago.
