Needle in a haystack...almost

[Damnails]

How about a "Pin a pasture field!" Back to a site where we've found lots of flat buttons, cut pistareen ca. 1720's. Taking my time in a 10' x 10' or so sq. & found a couple of flat buttons, then found a first for me......a brass stick pin fully intact with the head & seems to be the sharp point. (IH just there for size comparison). Down about 4". Never know what that little squeeker might be! Thanks for looking! Dns

That is one incredible find.

That would do a number on my bare digging fingers. I know I am bad.

Found with the Deus, no doubt?

with my eyes the way that they are now, the only way I would find it would be when it was stuck in my fingers or hand. Heck I struggle finding those pesky thin wires, been know to chase em all over the place.

CUFF LINKS DID SOME FIND CUFF LINKS ? NICE FINDS.

Now that's a sensitive machine. Way cool find. One thing I also am liking about my Makro Racer 2 manually ground balanced @ 44 is it has been hitting on incredibly tiny targets. Some targets are so small my Garrett Pro pointer won't even go off while holding them against the tip. That's a quality I love in a machine. Great recovery!

Congratualtions on the nice relic hunt!
