Nickel Tri-fecta today

[Pointman]

I don't post a whole lot of my finds, but today was decent day for me and I know that 75% of use are going crazy waiting for the ground to thaw, so I wanted to bring a little excitement into everyone's life. lol.

I got out today and did more than just kick a little dirt. First time in 3 weeks i was able to commit get myself a little dirty. I went to two places right down the road from one another. The first place I must have detected 7-8 times with 2 different machines in the past and didn't really expect to find anything. I was using the Deus with 13" coil and I played around and was able to tighten up some of the signals.

I found a 1906 V nickel a Buffalo nickel and also one Wheat cent. Amazingly this is the first wheat I have dug on this lot, but in the past I've found a silver spoon, two silver dimes 2 older Jefferson nickels and a dateless V nickel. I think the Buffalo from today is a 1913 because the Buffalo is standing on a mound. I can just almost make a date out of it.

Other than that, I went back to a sidewalk that I've detected hard with my CTX and found this 1946 Jefferson nickel and a memorial/wheat penny spill at 8 inches. Total it was 4 wheats and 4 memorials. I have no idea how I missed it before. I think the Deus just tightens up some of the signals that the CTX doesn't quite lock on.

I'm amazed at our weather. We had 20 degree temperatures last week and next Tuesday we have a high of 70 degrees. Anyway good luck to everyone.

I just love catching one type of coin across several generations. Really is kind of special! WTG

About the missing from before? You really need to stop thinking according to the way that advertisers want you to think. That is, upgrade, better, more money, more money.

A simple zig instead of a zag, even after many times there could explain a "miss". Not to mention conditions. Like a coin that was on edge and has been turned more flat due to the ground changing, or a small piece of iron finally rusting completely thru, or air interference being different, or someone who was skimming and moved a piece of can that was masking, or maybe a piece of foil finally rinsed/blew off the spot, or, or, or, etc. LOL

Not even mentioning the fact that each time we go out, we go out with more experience than we had the last time.

Could it have been the machine(s)? Well, sure! But that's ONLY one aspect.

Nice tri-fecta!

I guess I need to stop keeping the companies in visits with all the machines I have bought.

Maybe. I can see missing the nickels cause of the low tones. I was bound to have heard them because the area is tiny, but to miss 8 copper pennies 4 inches from the sidewalk and then be able to find them with another machine?

Nice job. A trifecta in any denomination is sweet. I almost had one in dimes a little while back. Actually found a Merc first, then a Barber. Do you think a Rosie could have popped up ? Not meant to be.

I've never found all three dimes in one hunt. Too many times, I have found a Barber and then a Merc and that is all. Go back and then find the elusive Rosy. Once I did this with a seated dime. I found a Seated and then a Merc, next visit I find a Rosy. One place I found a few Barber dimes and Barber quarters. Lot behind it, found all Mercs, across the street I find Mercss, Rosys and a Barber quarter, but no dimes all different hunts of course.
