Recommended setting for OMMO metal detector? I'm trying to find brass and lead and all of that since I'm looking for Victorian era artifacts.

I found two buttons. San Angelo tx ... Before I covered them in Renaissance wax I noticed on one of the shields it has all the striped but ONE STAR?

Kind of an artifact kinda not... I made a bugle charm for my wallet inspired off of the infantry bugle in the ACW.. it consists of a piece of lead, a friction primer wire, and a singular canteen chain link..

I just got bored..

One more thing I forgot to include... Can anyone help me identify this company? All I can read is IRIS CO or something like that... San Angelo TX found by an indianwars fort on my property

Soldiers would have to buy their own dishes at fort concho.

Solid shot? No markings or numbers or anything.. San Angelo Texas

Wrought iron, pretty heavy, no markings or numbers or anything like that, not even a hole.....

I've heard rumors from my grandfather of it being a cannonball when I was a kid. Because apparently that's what his father told him.

F35 with an F1 chasing it. Dallas Texas. more videos in comments

Saw it on my road trip to Dallas, Dallas is where all of the F35s are made, the F1 is owned by a contracted company that chases them to simulate dogfights and watch closely for any problems on the F35 as that is usually it's first flight.
