F-19 1820's button

[KyJoe]

This is a Lewis & Tomes Extra Rich button circa 1820's. I know it's not much but to find anything on this small patch of ground I've pounded for 15 years with 8 other machines amazes me.

Very nice recovery. Its fun to sneak a good one out of a hard worked spot. HH jim tn

And there is a NOX in that first picture ??? Did you check if it could pick up that button and ID it correctly as well ?

The Nox did pick it up but was dropping the #'s because of co-located iron. For my ears in my soil and for this target the F-19 hit on it better. There's just no mistaking a good target in heavy iron with the F-19. The Nox makes a lot of similar sounds and sometimes high chirps on iron and trying to pick out the repeatable signal is a little more difficult. I have my F-19 volume at 13 with no disc and V break at 35, I'm hearing probably 10 soft iron grunts every swing then a " ZZiiiippp" on a good target. It just jumps out at you, hard to miss. This whole location is a minefield of small iron. There was a home that burnt back in the 20's. I've found many old coins, buttons, some jewelry and civil war items including a Union belt plate.
