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.
 
:hairpulling: i know it is a big (*^%&^%$&^v to dig pulltabs but somtimes it pays |:cheering:
Congrats on the chain gold is olways good :clapping:
 
My last gold ring rang up as a nickel, VDI 19 with my V3i. 10kt with black onyx so I will always dig those nickel signals.
 
Congrats on the chain. I found one almost identical to that one.It even was stamped Italy 14K turned out to be plated.Have it checked out :)
 
way to go, i also dig nickel signals, all solid signals for that matter. dug my share of shot gun shells but am rewarded many times
with old flat buttons. nice find. :wow:
 
:congrats: on a great find :happy: looks like you have convinced a lot of people to dig the nickel signal dennis |:cheering: |:cheering:
 
:detecting: My 2013 New Year's Resolution is to dig more poptab and nickel signals! |:cheering:

Robbie look how many views you've had in the past year :shocked04:stretcher: Thought this was worthy of another bump :clapping:

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. :huh:

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 nickels:huh:thinkingabout: You could miss one of these.........

Nice pulltab !!!!! :grin: :grin:
 
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

are you digging anything lower than those vdi's ??
 
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....:)
