    someone was telling me this weekend that a square loop shows newer than CW. The buttons that old were supposedly all round loop. For whatever that info is worth.

    take a pic of the back. I'm just curious to see. I've found a WWI collar pin and a WWII collar pin and a few CW buttons. Those kind of things are good finds. Congrats no matter how old it is. :thumbup:

    Waterbury company made buttons during the civil war, not sure if that carries over to anything else. Not too familiar with buttons other than the ones I found. The eagle looks about the same as the ones on an eagle button, but the ones I know don't have the round item above them. Silver stays...

    Tex, I had 2 days to find relics in over 600 acres and happened to luck into a spot that contained some. The targets I got that were no deeper than 3" came up with no problem. ALL other relics I dug were 12-14". Nothing in between. I may have gotten those 3 targets with the shooter, if I had...

    I have that coil. Do you think it would pick up the bullets at a foot in that ground? I know it hasn't picked up a quarter at a foot in my yard.

    Holy Frijoles! bad ground

    Sounds good. The only thing I didn't think of trying was the salt settings. I tried all the other adjustments to get the machine as stable as I could spending a LOT of time with it. What I had set was as quiet and as deep as I could get it to run compromising a little on both to get the right...

    Holy Frijoles! bad ground

    I had tried to run a lower gain and did notice a loss of depth on some signals. In other words, I would get a signal and adjust all kinds of stuff to see if I could make it better..or what would make it worse. The very first thing I did when I got in the field was to bury a quarter at 3". I knew...

    Holy Frijoles! bad ground

    Hunted here near Orange, VA today for about 9 hrs. I knew the ground was bad, but holy cow! I did a ground probe and in most locations, the ground vdi was a -92..not too bad, but the percentage came back at 50% plus or minus!! I had no way to filter that out and still use discrimination. I tried...
