My first E-Trac V Nickel and some silvers today, June 5, 2011.

[Tony Two-Cent]

I have commented here before how I don't seem to find very many nickels with my E-Trac. I think it's because I mostly hunt trashy areas and I usually find pieces of pull tabs when I dig nickel signals so I often ignore them. Today I tried a new hunting spot and I was finding several wheat cents with very little trash. I got a very consistent 12-12 signal so I decided to dig it, hoping that it might be a Buffalo. I was pleasantly surprised when a 1905 V Nickel popped out of the hole!

I ended up finding 10 wheat cents, a 1920-D Mercury Dime and a 1947-D Rosie, along with some clad and memorial cents. Pretty fun for a two hour hunt!

Very nice Tony, you are coming along fine with that etrac. Nice V nickel, silver and wheats. You are catching up fast. :clapping:

Congrats Tony on a very nice hunt. <: Mercs, Rosies, Wheats and especially V's make for a fun time.
In parks I don't even attempt to find nickels. There are hundreds of nickel sounds that I come across from pulltabs and if I took the
time to check cursor placement on each of those sounds... I'd have no time left to find higher tone targets. lol So I leave them go.
Sure, I am missing nickels in parks. But in grounds other than parks... I dig the nickel signals all the time.
Nice bunch of finds. :clapping:

Very nice. I too have been working at getting better at digging nickels with the e-trac. What I've been finding is consistant 12-11 and 12-12 numbers with out any CO bounce are nickels...but not always, but about 80%...so it's been worth digging :yes:
