For the last three hunts I must have dug at least 50 clad nickels trying to find gold, today I only found three but old ones two dateless buffs and a nice 1896 V also got a flat button the other button could be from the 1930's 40's..

You know how it goes. Gold will come. Really like the finds so far too, a V nickel and a couple buffs is a nice day for me!
 

DAG GONE PIRATE LOOKS LIKE YOU BEEN DIGGING BY A CASINO WITH ALL THOSE NICKLES. THE DOME BUTTON LOOKS NEAT AND THEM POOR INJUNS LOOK LIKE THEY BEEN RODE HARD AND PUT AWAY PEESED. YOU GOT SOME NICE FINDS.
 

Go lower into the foil range if you are going to find gold with a minelab. Nice nics

I found many gold rings digging nickels, but I have found a couple gold bracelets below the nickel range..
 

Holy Cow,thats a ton of nickles. was there a nickle slot machine nearby? where are all the other types of coins?
 

50 clad nicks is far better than the 50 something pull-tabs I dug yesterday ! Grats on the buffs and V ! I keep proving there's no gold in that park out here! Still I am stubborn lol

Great finds:occasion14: those v's are hard to find:thumbsup:
 

Nice V Pirate!!!! 50 clad nickels? You weren't kidding you were looking for gold! Hopefully next hunt you'll find gold!! HH
 

nickels tend to attack my ATPro coil in the hunt for gold also. sadly the 2 hole rectangle pull tabs can do a great imitation of a nic. :-(
 

I'd love to dig those 3 nickles. I have only dug one buffalo and the V nickle is still on my bucket list. I have pulled more nickles this season over last. Sorry you did not pull any gold, but you did pull 6 nice keepers. :occasion14:
 

That certainly makes you King of the nickels! There must have been some games going on there!
Great buffs and V nickels and button! Congrats!

My detector reads some of the pull tabs and those metal pencil eraser tops as nickels too, the gold reads in foil range...the gold I haven't found yet, that gold! :dontknow:
 

Nice nickel haul Tony!! I'm surprised Ed left you those!

Msbeepbeep many many targets come up under nickel can slaw, beaver tails, ace bandage clasps, old pull tabs, the list goes on, digging these signals In a park is very tedious, but it's all up to the person that's searching an area that will hold these coins, I know their here that's why I for go all the junk, but I find them.....
 

I've dug a lot of nickels but yet to find a buf let alone a V. Nice digs.
 

I got my nickels earlier this week!
 

All looks good to me. What machine were you swinging?
