I have used way too many detectors over the years and until recently, I thought a properly tuned CZ or Etrac was the best nickel detector. Today, I dug 10 nickels with the Legend, including a sharp Buffalo nickel from 8 inches deep. Here is what I have found in my ground. A shallow nickel is a solid 25. No bounce to 26 or 24. The deeper nickels are a 24-25. Again, no 26 or 23. 23 numbers are most always a beaver tail and 26 -27 are pull tabs and slaw. I have never had a detector so sensitive to nickels. This detector is turning me into a believer.
