Happy New Year !!!! to everyone here on American Detectorist !

I recently sold off a couple of detectors , the DFX went to a nice gentleman in Colorado and the Deus was sold to a real good guy (Mark) that i've detected with more than a few times . This left me without a decent cellar hole hunting detector but a good friend Dave (HEAVYMETALNUT) was gracious...

I have not ordered the deus 2 and will miss both machines , the DFX has found more than 900 coppers !

I got a very well used Whites DFX that works perfectly , at least four coils that goes with it ( detect 10 x 12 butterfly , original concentric 10 " coil . the eclipse 9" x 6" and the small shooter 4"x6" coil ) , it has the heavy duty Herke arm cup and thesaurus cover over the control box ...

The cufflinks have a nice patina Dave , the old military items have a special place in my heart so it was awe inspiring to flip this large button around and see the pronounced anchor . Thanks sir ! Thank you WD , this button has been on my list for a long time but i didn't expect to find...

Got an invite today in northern Massachusetts , there was actually about a half inch of snow on the ground :shocked04: we hit a huge colonial deep in the woods and it was a "button day" for me . in spite of finding a nice pair of cufflinks my find of the day was this Revolutionary war era...

Got out with Donnie B , and Mr. Ron Yingling on Sunday . A good three plus mile hike along some very old abandon roads , i recorded about 4 to 5 old homesites and told the boys i had a good feeling about this adventure. Donnie did good but Ron had the hot coil and claimed a couple of old coppers...

Wow ! I had no idea silver thimbles were that rare out in those midwest Victorian house lawns you guy regularly detect . huge Congrats to you Tony !:clapping:

very nice shoe buckle Drew , its easily pre 1750's . Great find !

Roger , you should look at the RnB lithium ion types as they last about 35 to 40 hours on a 2 hour charge and their lifespan is years longer than the NiMH types . Dan

here on the east coast we find lots of "Dandies" , they help us date the site we're detecting as most were popular from the 1760's to about 1810 . these are just the fancy designed ones i've found over the years , i probably have a bit more that are plain in another case . Dan

Very nice shoe buckle Drew , congrats ! these are usually a copper-alloy as this looks from its coloration , but can be made of pewter , tombac , steel and even silver or gold

besides collecting old medicine and bitters bottles i like early federal era artwork specifically eagles , one of my latest acquisitions is this old Inn sign
