Hey diggers,

I went back to the old park that I had hunted so hard a couple years ago with my ACE 250. I had pulled more than 50 silvers and many old coins. Not bad for a park that is only one city block in size. You may recall I went back there a few weeks ago armed with my e-trac and 5 years experience and pulled 6 more silvers. I spent 4 hours there again and really focused on finding old coins masked by iron and trash. The war nickel rang up 12-19 and I thought it was a pull-tab for sure. The other silvers were all very difficult to hear due to heavy iron around them. Believe me, I dug many, many worthless iron targets today because I thought I heard a coin! I am always surprised at how many nickels can be found when you slow way down and really focus on each signal. Most of the nickels I found today were recent drops but there was a 1958 and 1961 in the bunch. Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.

Yeah. kind of shows I'm not as good a detectorist as I thought!

Thanks Don, I think that nickel was an early drop. The windows on Monticello are still quite visible.

Thanks Ron, it definitely will sniff them out of places other detectors can't.

Thanks Tony, I learned a lot watching you detect and I owe my improvements all to you!

Yah, I was really hoping for some buffaloes or V nickels. I have found many in that park before. But it was all Jeffersons this time!

Very nice finds Dave. Where I dig (the woods) I dig all nickle signals but a vast majority of the time they are shotgun shells. I wish I would find more nickles. Congrats on the excellent hunt!

Good job cleaning the remaining coins especialy nickles.

I have been going over parks where I thought I had cleaned it out with my old Eagle Spectrum. I am surprised how many nickles I missed and have found with the multi-frequency V3i. In one day I found 13 nickles, a high score for me. Also found two gold rings that rang up in the same range.

I love that nickle range. I guess I will be going back to a few of the parks I cleaned out with the Eagle.
