Got out this morning at 6:30 to beat the heat. Went to a football field in a near by town and lasted until about 9:30 before I was to cooked to hunt. I dug 6 nickles, and they came in at CO numbers 1@07,1@10,1@12, two of them at 13, and one at 14/15. I have found lots of nickles with the etrac, but judging by them numbers I'm still missing some too. The silver dime is a very worn 1913, and a 1950 wheatie.
 
Your never positive what to dig, or not dig..
 
I'm running the sef 6x8 and the sef 10x12 coils, and as noted by others, it drops the coin readings on both coils about one number from what the stock coil would read them, but them both run and ID pretty darn stable. I am amazed at the deep copper pennies and the clad dimes the etrac finds, also have found 43 silver dimes in hunted out places with it. I was surprised by the lowwer and higher readings on the nickles today, but other detectors must do the misreading them also, cause a buddy of mine lives accross the street from this football field and he's hunted it with a xlt, and I was on it a lot in the past with a cz7a and a mxt. ken-ks
 
I have found that nickels are usually at 12-13 in my area, but yesterday the did jump around some, 12-13, 11-13, 13-13, & even 14-13, I found out that the deeper the nickels were the numbers would change, except the last number was always 13. So that is why I am digging more nickels now. HH...Jesse.
 
I find most nickels read xx/13. I find a few at 12/12 but not many. I wonder if switching to two tone or switching fast off; deep off; or anything else will help with the ID. I know the fast and deep off is suppossed to help get a stable TID. Lowering the sens a little may help too.

BTW, i'll be meeting you in September... :twodetecting:

Have you noise cancelled before starting the hunt?

If you do an air test, do they still give those reading from what you got from the inground ID# ?
