Metal Detecting - Buffalo Nickel - Nickel Hunt Day

12-13-2020

Hello Everyone,
Today I did a 3 hour Metal Detecting hunt at my local park.. Our Detecting club all went to Prospect park and I'm waiting for their report on finds there.

My goal today was to hit some areas where I have found silvers to search for Nickels. If you look at my past threads I show very few or don't show any Nickels at all. Thats because I'm using a Discrimination mode on my machine to detect only the high numbers where silver, clad and copper fall under. So todag I set up the lower numbers and found that the Nickels were everywhere!

I even found a dateless Buffalo Nickel..

Meow is going to rip out all of Meow's fur with jealousy.

 

These are today's Nickels cleaned.. Why are they dark? Years of Environmental Exposure toning.
Nickels are 75% Copper and 25% Nickel. That would be Cupro-Nickel. The Copper tones a darker color when exposed to the elements for many years.

 

Looks like you had another great day in the field with your detecting.

 

Yes great day . Next the Barber quarter time .

 

The buffalo looks like Denver Mint?
Congrats. I know you wanted to stay home and chill, but you couldn't miss your weekly post.

 

After all, he's a Utube sensation.

 

Go easy Sal. His head is already big enough.

 

I know, right . Then he's gonna want donations . LOL

 

He shouldn't because he's getting rich and popular at the same time. Just wait until the advertisers line up to pay for ad space.

 

That's OK, He has plenty of Nickels .
