Why is it when my detector picks up a nickel signal it usually turns out to be a poptop or a pull tab? What is a nickel made of anyways?

That's funnyitsmymind said:The older ones were made out of buffalo testicles and the new ones are made out of the recycled pull tabs we all send in to the government each month for our part in the stimulus package. LOL just kidding.

War nickels: 35% Silver, 56% Copper, 9% Manganise.
Early 5¢ pieces ("Half-dimes"): 90% Silver, 10% Copper.
When my IDX PRO hits on nickle and it has to stay on the 5 cent for me to dig , and 80% of the time it is a nickle for me then pull tabs and a couple of times GOLD!Fishtanks said:Why is it when my detector picks up a nickel signal it usually turns out to be a poptop or a pull tab?
