Got my first nickel today

[somecomic]

Only been out 4 or 5 times total and found my first nickel today. Beauty was, I knew it was a nickel because it didn't sound like the trash tone. I feel like I am learning the machine. It is a coin magnet.

Good for you! I remember my first nickel. keep at it and you will find more. I started with the Tracker IV, and still have it.

Congrats. If you are finding nickles you should find any gold jewelry you put the coil over.

Congrats! Nickels are fun to find! Once you get their sound down you'll be finding a lot more.
I still have, and use, my Tracker IV from time to time. I keep it as a back up. But I still use it every now and then just to stay in tune with its functions.

HH Y'all.

I had an experience like yours when I first started using my Pioneer 505, a 3 tone ID detector. But once I started to really look at my display and used less discrimination, I dug more of those pulltab/nickel signals and started finding more nickels. It's just one of those things with the 3 tone detectors. With my Legacy 3500, I don't have the problem finding nickels. It has 4 tones and immediately gets my attention that there is a possible nickel in the ground and the telltale 34 to 35 VDI reading tells me there is a high probability that it is a nickel.
Congradulations on finding your 1st nickel. Now that you have, you know what to look for and the proper settings to use to find them.
