Compadre goes back to the 1896 this time

[JMC]

I had maybe 5 minutes this afternoon to detect before dark. So I made one pass about 2 feet wide from the sidewalk to the street and found this. An 1896 V nickel, talk about a chance find and it was the first of three holes I dug in about a 1 foot area. The others just turned up a couple of odd shaped rounded rusty iron objects. Tomorrow I might be able to get back to that site down the street. I;m still fighting the urge to dash down to Winter Springs tomorrow and look at a Garrett AT Pro. But you know the continued success I keep having with my Compadre keeps telling me not to do that. Hmmm maybe this nickel is the Tesoro way of saying stick with beep and dig

Very nice. The displayless machines seem to find lots of old nickles.

We all get the urge to try something different. That urge can lead to endless change of detectors, one after the other. It's the guy that sticks with what he has and learns it well that is really good, be it a $160 detector to a high end $2000+ detector. And yep, I get that urge once in awhile also. You can clean an area out anyplace, if you take the time to do it.

Nice find with the Compadre. I switch around a lot but Tesoro is in my blood. They're just super fun to use and fun is what it's all about.
