I confess, I did it...

Many years ago, down around Yuma, when I was green as new grass I would occasionally bury a penny or nickel for testing.

I had no clue about high conductors or low conductors, or much of anything else...

Usually I dug them up but not always.  

One time back around Yuma, I got a very nice signal and fairly deep. After some digging and some anticipation it would be gold...because it was deep. Out came a copper penny...then I realized that I had been there and done that...

I was just in Gold Basin for a quick trip.  Before I left I decided to hit a wash, a big wash and have a chance at getting a big nugget I've been told.  So I get a bit of can slaw and soon I get a solid, booming hit not too far down the wash.  There are no track or footprints and I'm down now about 6 inches and its all loose gravel.  I get down to 8" and out comes the target.  I get it in my scoop and its a coin.  It has some tarnish on it ... old?  Nah, it's a 2003 nickel.  I've not found many coins with the 7000.  It could be a good coin hunter.
