    Help with settings in Waxhaw NC

    Hello NC detectorists. I am visiting some relatives in Waxhaw and turned on my SE Pro and it was beeping like crazy. I ground balanced it and it will not beep for anything. It actually nulls out when it comes close to metal. No over head wires. Any suggestions. Thanks. PJ

I have "dropped" a nickel from time to time to see where and if it reads and how it sounds but I just can not find one. I have found plenty of wheaties and silver but never found a nickel. I travel...

    2nd SD Hunt

    As I was leaving the church yard, I noticed a penny laying in the dirt by a tree. They had trimmed a decorative circle around the tree for looks and had exposed a penny. It was a 1912 wheatie. The trees were rather small compared to WI trees so I did not detect around them thinking nothing good...

    No nickels ever. Why

    I never ever find nickels unless they are part of a pocket spill. I no how they sound, I know where they register but never dig them. My settings are right because if I scan a nickel it reads and sounds like it is supposed to. What am I doing wrong? PJ

    This hobby is going to cause me to become ill. Went out for a quick 45 minute hunt before supper and I found 2 wheats and a merc. On the way home I looked at the dime (no glasses) and it sure looked like 1916 s or d. About a month ago I found another 1916 that was s or d. Well just like the...
