Awesome score,I hit a 7quarter,2dime, and a nickel spill yesterday.biggest one yet.getting a new rig and pointer tomorrow. Can't wait!!!!!

 

No highlights.

 

Most of these are local. (Natural History Museum, Albuquerque Aquarium, Rio Grande Zoo, Rio Grande Botanical Gardens) But some of them are from:
Oatman, AZ Wild Donkey Preserve, Butterfly Wonderland Scottsdale, AZ, San Francisco SS Jeremiah O'Brien, Cave of the Winds (my favorite) Sea World 50th Anniv., Sea World reg., Balclutha, & a couple unidentifiable.

 

Nice Mike, my rig doesn't pick up nickels I didn't get my new one yet. But I did find a new spot today and I did real good.ill post later.

 

I've only found one of these,it says "Good for a free hug anytime".

 

If you are set to "TONE" and high discrimination, the silver and copper give strong high solid tones and the nickels should give a low tone. Nickels on mine sound similar to pop top and pencil eraser ends. But the nickel is a more solid tone.
And the zinc will give a solid crappy/ crackly tone.

 

One of the best days out for me!!! Still have a good bit of the place to do. Hit my poor thumb with a hammer today,man it's sore...

 

Nice score.
The nickels are there. They used to be very difficult for me to find on my old machine. I bought the same type again, although the modern version is much lighter which is nice, and I get tons of nickels.

 

I dug this recently, its my 4th silver dollar detected

 

Nice!! Ive only dug 1 big dollar coin,well I didn't even have to dig it. But I found it with my machine. A nice ike dollar. But that takes the prize. Mike k has dug all kinds of goodies up too. I love this one.

 

Super scrounge today. I should be back into my regular rotation soon, so hopefully things pick up.

 

Hotdog. Yeah baby

 

The only even semi rare coin I found turned out to be a fake. Apparently they faked coins with regularity long ago. Actually the fakes are worth money though too but point being that I'm not much better at metal detecting than I am at determining dd varieties.

 

Let's see a photo. It's probably pretty cool.

 

I'll do that sometime. It's tucked away. I want to say it was colonial coinage or somewhere around there. I recall looking and comparing it stuff in the front of Redbook.

 

walked over to a little strip of grass that's next to my friend's house.the Ellis Island quarter was laying on the qravel next to the road and the nickel was covered with small pea gravel on the other side of the median. I was there 27 min and came away with this.i like the button,I gave it to my wife and she threw it back at me lol .the cents are stuck and will not come apart,I dropped them and nothing.

 

Let them soak in warm soapy water. They will come apart later by themselves or with a thin knife/ screwdriver blade between them.

 

I get it. Knife, screwdriver. Very good. Wait. You did mean it that way.

 

If they aren't valuable, you can't really hurt them by separating them with a knife or a screwdriver. The soak usually is enough to loosen and twist/pry them apart without the tools.
