Those nice sounding one direction tones

[ChrisinCT]

Just wondering does anyone dig those nice sounding tones that aren't repeatable and only sound off in one direction. Are they ever coins?

[Full Metal Digger]

yes and yes!

I've dug up only two of those (one direction tones). Both turned out to be a coin. One was a wheaty standing and one was a buffalo Nickle.... Both standing upright. I couldn't tell ya why it only pinged a single from one direction though.

hey Chris , this little beauty was about 9 inches deep and when i went over it , it sounded like a nail . deep broken low chirp target then i hit it at 90 degrees (as i always do to these type of sounding targets ) and it sang very sweet and knew it was something good . it was standing on edge so the profile was minute one way being so deep made it resemble a deep nail bit in tone but comming back the other way i hit the flat round side which is much larger and i was thinking it could be a coin by its nice sounding tone . because it was standing on edge and its location (on the edge of a nice slope with great drainage) both sides are in beautiful shape .

Thanks for the replies. It gives me encouragement to strat digging those one sided hits.

I usually check the numbers to determine whether or not to dig one way hits. 99% of the time, it's a nail. Last month, though, I got a nice one-way hit and dug up my oldest coin, a half Real. If it weren't for the high numbers, I don't know if I'd have dug it.

holy crap del that's the most beautiful large cent ive ever see in any metal detecting site! :shocked03:

If they sound really sweet from one direction I always dig, even if they totally null from the other direction. And yes, it's often a coin!

My standards are much lower. Just the hint of a nice sounding tone in any direction and that target will see the light of day ;) That's especially true if the cellar hole site I am at hasn't given up a copper in a while lol

I've always dug em and haven't been sorry yet. :groovy:
