Started off slow then in the last 30 minutes pulled 2 buttons and a nice 1861 seated dime with great detail. I can't find any info on the smaller button. Says Morling Balt. On it and has patterns front and back. The larger coat button has a faint line design on it.
Very pleased with the hour and a half I went out in the rain today. But MAN is that site filled with iron and square nails. Worth it but it's slow goin. The 2 buttons came out of the same hole along with 5 or 6 small square nails. The dime was mere feet away and the confederate droop wing button I found last week was found 10 ft from where these were.
Anyone have any info on the morling balt?

I'm impressed by the deus capabilities and it's done great thus far. I picked up an xterra 705 with 6"dd coil which will hopefully give me a small edge when it comes to these good targets hiding amongst not one or two but a blanket of nails. Wish the deus offered a 6er. Love it but would love a smaller coil
