I think I did something truly unheard of!!!

[Truth]

Well guys I never seen this have you? I went to Mississippi to meet up with my boy bonepicker and of course all I got was nickels, but this blew my mind and I have a witness. Lol
I know I’m a magnet for nickels and I not gonna bore you with pictures of them all. I ended up with 2 War, 4 buffs, 1 V (1911), a tax token and a hem weight.

But wait there’s more!!!

I HIT A NICKEL QUADFECTA IN 1 PLUG!! Think about this how does this happen in one spill? And the weird this about it was the clad Jefferson was last. Miracle plug is all I got to say.

I'm not doubting you , but it does seem if Nickles being 75% copper they would ring higher than they do . Especially with their size being larger than the 'screaming ' Non , Silver Dimes ,coated Zinc & alloy 'Brass / Copper cents.
Just a thought or brain Toot.

Yeah, you would think so, but, alloys have strange properties when it comes to conductivity. Look at all the odd readings you get on jewelry. Those alloy percentages (and metals used) are all over the board, with corresponding readings. Why do zinc cents (with a 100% copper plating) read lower than a 95% copper cent? The internal zinc has to be effecting the conductivity and reading somehow. Why do wheat cents read lower than memorial cents? Both are 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. I can only conclude that the 5% tin and zinc percentage must have changed proportions a bit.

All four of these were dropped in the 1940's mid to late(judging by the condition of the 1942 clad). This person most likely got the change from a local store. The local store most likely just came from the bank that day. I would also say, that these were lost on a Friday night or Saturday morning.

And it was 82 degrees and raining......

You know as i'm reading down , I just came to an obvious conclusion , or 2 ; 1 just how rare Gold Rings are (to dig) , & I see a Gold wave coming your way while digging all those Nickles & Pull Tabs , you might as well dig the 'foil' signals as well , those blunt , Ketchup & gum wrappers & can slaw need cleaning out as well.

It's amazes me the amount of Pull Tabs "Beaver tails " that are still in the ground.
I'm gonna Sue Al-cola & the Can makers for my aching knees & back. LOL

I’ll admit the low 1-10 signals are had to keep a positive attitude to did. The beach/water guy thinks it’s obvious because it’s easier. When you digging it a whole other deal. I’ve dug many gold ring, but the 800 in my opinion is not the gold finding machine I’d wanna deal with.....so far.

I’ve concluded that it was a 1942 clad, war and old buffalo was a spill that happened to be dropped on the same spot that the V was dropped at a much earlier time. Probably on Saturday morning.

I was under the impression that all four found at the same depth same hole? Unless the area is extremely target dense with both time periods, I very highly doubt it was two separate drops.

Quadfecta in one hole is absolutely astounding! That is a mega awesome spill, congratulations!

I dig deep plugs the war and the buff were in the sidewall stuck together, I could see them about mid way 5” then at the tip of the plug was the V. Then rechecked the plug a the Jefferson was about a 1” from where the war and buffalo was. There’s no way someone had a 4 different varieties of nickels of nickels. I see 3 all around the same late buff- war nickel, but not a 1911 V. And I’m sticking was that
