Couple of days ago my brother dug a 80's Canadian quarter. He was expecting trash when he dug it because the tone wasn't steady and his VDI was jumping all over. Once out of the ground his GTI 2500 still wasn't getting any kind of steady signal.
He called me over and I ran my AT Pro over the coin with the same results he got. VDI was all over the board as were the tones. I also checked it with my MXT Pro with the same results.
I have never seen a coin respond this way. This quarter is 99.9% Nickel. I would think that it should have rang up as SOMETHING no matter what its composition but no! Just scratchy and jumpy on three different machines. Nothing to indicate anything other than trash!
What gives? Does all Canadian clad act this way? (being 99.9%, isn't clad I know)
*edit* Each detector was set with zero disc while checking this out.
