George Kinsey Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 20 on the deep ones, 26 0n the shallow and 22 to 24 mid-range. But I went to the closet and pulled out my Mystery Master Classic. Who will reign supreme? Well, the "Iron Chef" of course. Bon apatite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Assuming your going for jewelry? Usually concentrate on foil to nickes here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Kinsey Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 If some gold pops up I won't leave it in the hole.🤩Better chance for nickels at this sight. It's an old country church with tons of non-ferrous. I have taken out the old silver and copper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Kinsey Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 Heavy rain killed the nickel hunt. Will try again this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Few years ago I found all these nickels in a local swim hole, most were in a small area maybe 10'sq. Figured someone was trying to drown their kid and stuff their pocket with them. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCR Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I'm hunting a new permission with The Legend. I have not dug any Nickels yet but the Wheat cents are running a wide spread like George's Nickels. 38-41 TID in Multi @ 4-8 inches. Out of the ground 43-44. They have a good bit of corrosion. The ground is very funky here. I have adjusted my TB accordingly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I have been digging a fair amount of Nickels the last few hunts with The Legend. Almost all Buffalos that are well corroded @6-8 inches. TIDs can range from 19-23. This mirrors George's observations. M1 Field, still running V1.08. Corroded small Cents are also down some, 36-42 TID. Silver coins seem to hold their respective TID much tighter even though they also have fairly heavy encrustation from laying in boggy ground 100+ years. Using the LG35 coil.
