Decent hunt with the deus II

I got out this past Monday with a couple of friends (Jim and Ron) and hit western Massachusetts , it was a cool day in the Berkshires and great for some hiking and detecting . The Deus II and I haven't been one like my previous machines but the latest update and the new HF coil seemed to be working well this hunt. I did pretty well on buttons especially in the iron along the lips or slopes of the cellar holes oct. hunt with jim.jpg I even snagged a very wiped out 1803 draped bust large cent it rang out as a 99vdi with double left to right lines on the XY screen which was very unusual but since I've owned this Deus II the XY has been very wonky or erratic .1803 draped bust.jpg I did get a kick out of some of the buttons as its the first time i got multiples or the same designed buttons in a single hunt .floral buttons and brooch.jpgthe tiny oval brooch in this picture was an interesting find for me both because of its very small size and its floral and butterfly porcelain faced features . Jeff the program that finds buttons in the iron infestation worked very well and I later found out why my XY screen was so erratic or pixelated , on the Deus II there is a feature in the settings that allows you to "zoom" in the XY mode and Lord I don't know why but mine was on 6 and it really over sensitives the XY lines and fractures them to look like junk .this setting should really only be on 1 to 3 at most and I have no idea as to why it was higher but i have a feeling my next hunt may be even better .

PS I'm only 2 coppers from my 1000th
