What's the deal with nickels??
So I don't know if this is just me, my detector, or my park, but I'm wondering if anyone else has this...
I'm finding a LOT fewer nickles that I expected, based on the number of other coins I've found... I've got 30 quarters (plus 7 quarter sized tokens), 61 dimes and 343 pennies... Thinking that a nickel is below a quarter in size (so slightly harder to find) but less valuable than a dime (less motivation to find), I would have guessed my nickel county would be closer to dimes... like 50's. But I've got 35.... I know that isn't a huge difference, and we could go on and on about the small sample size, margin of error, etc, etc, etc. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed this, or if it's just me.
