today I went to the park and totally IGNORED everything BUT nickel range signals.
I dug everything from 01-12 to 14-17 range. This is the range I get most nickels. I dug for 90 minutes and have never dug this many nickels in such a short period. I am bound to get gold if I keep this up!
I got a 1936 buffalo
2 silver war nickels
1942, and 46 Jefferson
a "blue" nickel....lol no idea on that..
and 10 more asst yr jeffersons
today I really watched my screen, I have a hard time hearing the difference of nickel signals VS lower conductors like foil. To me it is not that big of a difference like from a penny to a silver coin. So I paid close attention to the numbers today, trying hard for nickels.
War nickel number 1, was 08-17, and the 2nd one was 12-16. War nickels are always a bit higher for me than other nickels. The buffalo was 08-14, the two 40's Jeffersons were 01-12, and 04-13.
Some of the newer shallower nickels were 12-13, but MOST of my nickels are NOT 12-12, or 12-13, they are always crazy signals. So I opened my disc up a LOT around the nickel area to accept anything even close. The e-trac is a nickel magnet for sure, but if your only digging 12-12 or 12-13, for nickels your MISSING a ton of 5 centers! Old parks are literally loaded with nickels, I'd say it is say to say they are the most abundant old coin left because VERY few hunters dig those signals.
