Aiming for 4th year in a row for 500 plus nickels

[Dancer]

It's going to be a close one this year. Right now I'm at 408. Last two years I busted threw the 600 mark. This year nickels are behind and so is the Gold. I believe this goes hand and hand. Nothing is written in stone but find a area where nickels have been neglected , start rooting like a hog.

that statement about the nickles is a VERY true fact! about a month ago i was hunting a slope in a park and came across a whole huge area that was scattered with them. one of my last "nickle" targets was a gold, diamond, and sapphire ring!

You can do it! You have the expertise! You have the machines and you have the karma!

Well it's been painfully slow, but the Inferno broke for 10 nickels today. That makes 453 nickels so far. Best part is , they ran from 5" to 8"" deep. 10 nickels out of 32 deep coins is a pretty good day. This is a old H.School baseball field. Not used much anymore. Absolutely No fresh drops. So there's a chance for some gold.

Whenever I'm notching in a trashy area, I always keep the foil icon- makes the Ace hotter on nickels as well as picking up a few that because of patina and other factors register lower.

That's a good tip, Sling.

HS concession area. 5x8 coil. The little Devil scraped out 50 coins plus two folded up one $ bills. Total little over $9. Anyways that makes 500 nickels to date this year. So I'm averaging a Gold ring every 250 nickels. Pretty paltry huh ? But that's the way it's going this year. There's always hope though. Not froze in yet, so never know.
