XP DEUS IN THE LAND OF WWII BUTTONS
Nov 6, 2026
A quick hunt with the XP Deus on some contaminated land near an 18th Century mansion.
I've still got loads of land to go at so there has to be some good finds about somewhere.
Check out my other detecting videos - there are dozens on the Metal Detecting playlist on my channel.
Thanks for watching.

It's absolutely pitting down,
so the filming today isn't going to be fantastic,
but I'm back at the 18th century mansion
and I'm doing the trashy areas with the Deus.
I've left the e-track at home
because I'm just going to concentrate with the small coil in the
very trashy areas and hopefully pick something decent out.
I did manage to find two silver coins
The last time I was up, and that was using the huge coil.
on the e-track, so I think with a coil half the size
and a slightly more responsive machine,
I should do quite well, hopefully.
Although I've only got about two hours today, so we shall see.
This was reading as a nice sprightly 76 on the Dios,
and it looks like it's a button in
pretty good condition. Oh, it is.
That's in cracking condition. Look at that.
AFS, which I believe stands for auxiliary fire service.
I sometimes find them up here with NFS
which is National Fire Service so that's a very, you'd
think that was pretty much new,
you polish that up and it could go back on a jacket, excellent.
This one strangely was reading 93 and it looks like another button.
Deus is really picking the
signals out very well from the trash.
This one is in cracking condition again and this one is NFS
so that's National Fire Service.
Look at that, still shiny, that's what an awesome find.
Looks like we've got some sort of medallion or something,
some sort of artefact here.
Let's see what it is.
Ah, it hasn't actually got much on it.
I thought it would have a picture
of Mother Mary or something like that.
Although it looks like it has had something stuck on the front of it.
I don't think it's silver.
This is quite a deep hole for another badge.
Button, sorry.
And this is another AFS.
That has to have been probably eight or nine inches down.
And that gave a cracking signal.
Another one in absolutely excellent condition.
There's yet another button.
I've actually found a couple of pennies as well.
So...
Modern ones, though, so I didn't bother filming them.
That's another AFS button.
Missed in the back, that one, unfortunately,
but it's still in pretty good condition.
Another hole and another button.
This is yet another AFS button.
Slightly buckled on the back there, but it's still got the eye on it.
It's in pretty good nick as well.
Looks like the first pre-decimal coin seems to be an old penny.
It's approximately 8 inches deep, so that was a reasonable depth.
Actually, there may be two there.
There's one. That looks like another one in there.
Could have sworn
that was another one in there,
but it's not.
And that's a George V, so that's early 1900s.
It's in reasonable nick. Lovely patina on it as well.
1917. This looks like another pre-decimal.
It is. Oh, that's in good condition.
Wants to be, though. It's only 1957.
That's Elizabeth II.
This is another one that was reading 82 to 83,
so I'm thinking it's a pre-decimal half penny.
I may be wrong, though.
I am wrong. Whenever I make a prediction, it's wrong.
Another bottle cap.
Another hole and another coin ball.
Yeah man! Another penny.
This looks very much like another button.
Yes it is. I think I found more buttons
on this hunt than I have for the previous
hunts put together. Another AFS button. Auxiliary Fire Service.
That's another pre-decimal penny. George V.
In pretty good condition again.
Actually it's not in very good condition. That
That side's all crusty.
But it's early to mid 1900s anyway.
Two and a little bit hours later and it's still raining.
Not wet though, got the gear on.
I had to have the video camera tucked in here
so it was none too comfortable.
I managed to find some decent things.
A hell of a lot of buttons for some reason.
Um...
Normally I'm lucky if I find one button up here,
but I do normally find pre-decimal coins.
It seemed to be a hell of a lot of buttons,
not too many coins this time.
Not sure why, it could have just been the area I was searching,
but they were all decent signals, certainly diggable.
They've got dug.
And now I've got a pocket full of buttons.
There we go.
Two, one, two, three,
four, five, six.
Six, I'm sure I dug more than that.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Maybe it's just six, don't know.
Yeah, I may have dropped one or two.
I'll probably find them next time.

I've also got dozens of other metal detecting videos
in the playlist on my channel,
entitled, hmm, what's it entitled?
On deguru's Metal Detecting Videos, perhaps.
But there's dozens and dozens of videos
on there where I'm finding all sorts with Deus
and also with the E-Track.
Until next time, thanks for watching.
I'm going
to tell you about
the performance
of the XP Deus.
Bloody marvellous!
