I'm befuddled with nickles

I know that cherry pickers usually leave Nickles but this is getting kinda ridiculous. In the last month I have found like 6 V's and about 11 buffs and only one merc.
I like digging nickles but a silver coin would be nice.
The victorian Costume Jewelry was a nice change of pace

Re: I'm befuddled with nickles

clearly your hitting spots that have been heavily hammered by silver "cherry pickers" in the past --the nickles you found ring up in the tabs range -- but then so does some gold items as well :wink: :icon_thumright:
so tico looks like you gotta get a bit more of the beaten path if you want silver -- the spots your hunting seem beat to bits -- try the not so freindly to hunters areas -- a bit farther off the side walks than normal --you gotta get outside the "box" hunted by the normal hunters --since "the box" clearly been beat to death for silver and is fairly empty -- look for faint deeper signals and a bit out of the way spots

Re: I'm befuddled with nickles

Don't get me wrong, I like digging nickles but would like a little mix of silver every now and then
If you want to find old nickles, get yourself a Fisher CZ and they will literally pop out of the ground.

Re: I'm befuddled with nickles

I wish I could complain like that! Love those V's and Buff's.

Anyways ... do you find gold? It's so close to nickle signal that you should be finding gold too.
