a nickle is just that mostly "nickle" which is a metal all of it own -- just copper is copper -- a nickle is called a nickle today because that what their made of --in the old days they were called half dimes and made of silver -- due to them switching to nickle to make a 5 cent coin --they started being called --you got it --"nickles"

nickles ring up similar to 10 kt gold items often as well as tabs --they all are very close as far as their conductivity levels -- in lower end machines with very number of limited slots to sort stuff out with ==things tend to get "lumped" together --exsample the ace 250 has 8 sections to put things into ---vs my delta 4000 has a 0 to 99 number display in effect 99 slots to sort stuff into thus it has a much larger and finer sorting area into which it can sort its find into. --thus a better chance of correctly IDing it properly -- but various factors can effect your machines ability to properly ID a item if in the least bit of doubt at all dig it up.

Nickels are 75% copper. :laughing9: (Except 1943-45: 35% silver)
