I worked most of the day but was able to squeeze in maybe a one hour hunt.
As usual, I went back to my pounded field where the targets are few and far between these days.

I started digging some pull tabs, a few old shell caps and other trash and after a little while I got one of those beautiful high hits. About 5-6 inches down I found this beautiful vintage, monogrammed Sterling cufflink.......

I knew it was real immediately although I wasn't sure what it was until I saw the big monogrammed "D" on it. It actually looks like a mirror from a toy car. I did a Google search and it appears to be from the Victorian era. I could be wrong but it looks pretty old to me. If anyone hear can tell me anything I'm all ears. I dig this stuff but still don't know that much about some of it.

I poked around a while longer and dug another 1920 Wheatie and a rusty junk ring with it's stone missing. From the looks of the setting I imagine the stone just had to be nothing less than genuine glass. But, it's ring #62 and it still counts as far as I'm concerned.

The field is really getting hunted out (thanks to me) but the Omega is still sniffing out a few goodies. It seems to really love round objects. I really love it so far. Now I just need a site that actually has some silver coins and I should do okay.

So as usual it got dark and I wrapped it up. It's cold and windy out there this evening but it was a good, impromptu hunt. I walked away with a little old silver, a Wheatie and another ring so that's a good one in my book.

Thanks for looking & HH......

That cufflink is a very nice find. Looks like the detector is working for you:icon_thumright:

Thanks and yes; it is. I really like it.

I've wanted to upgrade since the end of last year and a deal finally appeared so I jumped right on it.
But I still love my Delta and have no intention of parting with it. Still a great machine.
 

Congrats on the sweet silver piece. :occasion14:

I do not get attached to my detectors. I keep three in my arsenal. My go to F75-LTD-SE, a gold detector, and my aquanaut for hunting the local swimming holes.

The Delta is a good back-up/loaner. It's hard to go backwards and stay content unless of course it's a necessity due to needed repairs on the primary machine.

I'm not even remotely attached to my old BH machines but the Delta is a definite keeper.
And the Omega; forget about it. That'll be my go to machine for quite a while.

I can see myself getting something submersible at some point. I still wanna' waterproof my old BH 202 just for fun. I just haven't gotten around to it.
