Thread: Nickel signals--dig ?? Or Not:huh:

    Re: Nickel signals--dig ?? Or Not:huh:

    That looks just like the fake 14K italy chain i found. The clasp was broken the same way. Because the ring that held the lobster claw on was steel and rusted out. Mine tested as crap on the stone. The guy at the jewelry store said it was junk too!

    Nice job. I once read a post that said the one thing he hated more than digging pull tabs, was missing gold. I would have to agree. Great post.

    Very nice find!

    My M6 loves nickels too. I've found a few rings digging nickel signals.
    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    I was at a totlot searching for coins a few months ago, and was digging up more than my share of pulltabs that read just like a nickel on my Whites M6.
    I must have dug 60 or 70 pulltabs--and got another nickel signal at the bottom of a slide in the totlot. I almost decided NOT to dig up another pulltab. Something told me to dig it up.

    I moved the woodchips with my foot where the target was and saw something not aluminum pulltab colored. I reached down and moved more woodchips and saw some gold colored links of a chain. I very slowly pulled it from the chips---- it seemed to go on forever......I thought it was 6 feet long.( It wasn't but sure seemed like it)
    After I got it out, I sat on a nearby bench just looking at it--then putting it back in my pocket----pulled it out again to look at it--put it back in my pocket....I did that about 6 or 7 times. I couldn't believe I got a gold chain. It was stamped 14K Italy on the clasp and was 24 inchs long, and weighs 17.1 grams--worth over $425.00.

    And to think I almost didn't dig it up--thinking it was just another pesky pulltab.
    I brought it to 2 detector club meetings and 2 of the guys brought in their detectors to test it. It read exactly a nickel on both their detectors.

    Don't want to dig pulltabs or nickelsthinkingabout: You could miss one of these.........
    I've never seed a long yeller pull tab like yourn'.Congrats on a great score and we want to see all the great finds you make this season too.....

    I also dig nickel signals. Have not found a ring yet but have found over 600 nickels so far since late last spring. I use a v3i and have set the tones (17-20) at 250 and the tones (21-24) to 248 These tones jump right out at you from among the lower tones of the junk

    I really try to dig all signals. Coin spills can have a crazy VDI signal, depth, moisture content all play roles. The neat thing is in a "Hunted out park" if you are finding pull tabs you may well find gold.....dig them all....
