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
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 .
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 .
the 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
