I could say My Detector but Honestly
any detector set to accept Nickels,
Then dig everything is Best.
Most people Ignore Nickels so
their are plenty there yet,
as long as you don't hunt behind me

Nickels are My Favorite Clad finds
I'm Proud when I Find Nickels.
It means I'm doing something Right
fng68 said:All good responses,
I really wanted to cut down on my pulltab digging, without disc'ing them out.
My nickel count went up ( bigtime ) this summer mainly because I'm getting used to the sound they make.
I use a little hint I found of putting a nickel in my shoe opposite my detector side.
Whenever I came across a possible nickel, I would scan my left shoe and compare the distinctive sound.
Although a beavertail part of a pulltab still gets me.
On the Explorer the sound is very important. On the XT-70 sound was a little less specific but the digital was a 10 or 12.
Every detector,I think,has it's own way of responding to targets.
Do some detectors really sing out in that range of targets,as LuckyLarry and others suggests?
Like an Explorer is noted for Silver.

That's what I'm trying to achieve in areas polluted with tabs and such.
I've noticed a few pleasant surprises when digging in that range.
I'm aware of all the different factors that can affect the response to nickels or any target actually.
And the need to slow way down (Explorer thing) when hunting these areas.
If I'm ever going to dig a one dollar gold coin,which is a 1/2 inch diameter, I have to practice this.
Thanks Guys,

I don't understand what you are saying .......Did you say that you got rid of your sovereign because it could not find nickels . And that the safari and x70 could find silver but not nickles.I ExpLuckyLarry said:My (ex), noticelorers in the same soils had the same difficulty. My cz-70 could said "ex" Sov could not cancel ANY nickels in some soils, and I mean ANY. The not cancel them either and neither could any other Fisher, but most Whites, Tesoros, and Garretts could. There IS a difference between brands due to inherent circuitry design - and don't let anybody tell you differently! In some soils absolutely ZERO detectors can find nickels, including PI's. I tell you this not out of opinion but from actual experience using them and knowledge of the inherent circuit design. Today the current Minelab Safari and x70 are killers on silver, and that's because of the freq choices, and they were DESIGNED that way.
And yes, the older Fisher cz series were DESIGNED to find nickels best, and this too is not my opinion. The original Garrett Deepseekers and Fisher 400 and 500 series were disigned to respond to copper and other minerals best. And yes they blew the other brands clear out of the water in this regard.
