Popular Post Theraker Posted October 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yes I’m so green that this 1977 nickel is special to me since it’s my first non-trash find! Nuggets here I come! Only a matter of time. and no, I’m not willing to sell the Batman keychain I dug. I’ve got to post it in the paper so I don’t get popped for theft. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Nice find on the nickel, but what I think is even better is the small item between the key chain and the hooked item. When you can find something that small, gold is just around the corner. Keep it up and all will fall into place, I am learning my grandfathers detector and have much to learn also. Good luck on your next hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hey TR, Were those finds with the 24K? And where were those finds? In one of your permissions in gold country, or just a regular area! Try hitting a park, or even your yard, for more coins! All practice gets you more familiar with your machine! Good luck!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on your next hunt. Thanks a lot! Lead bullet fragments are coming more often. Crazy how tiny they can be and still trigger my detector. Pain in the arse to get in the cup too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those came from Piru creek! SoCal. With my 24k. Gettin more and more small bullet fragments now. Tiny. Often times they look like nuggets to me but scratch tests tell otherwise. Getting better here. Closer I just know it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Finding nickels in parks is a good sign that the park has been cherry picked for the copper and silver. Many skip the low conductors because of aluminum. Where there is nickels and aluminum you have a better chance of also finding gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 You'll always remember your first find. Congratulations, and all the best, Lanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotAU? Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 A nickel is a good target to test with, so just think of that one as your first 5g nugget. ? I buried a few at different depths to make a self testing area also, works well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
