My hunt with the M-6

I took my M-6 out to an old church yesterday.I found a 1961 Rosie right away.This was impressive as I hadn't ground balanced it correctly(Dah!!!).I tried to ground balance it with the trac locked.This is funny.I didn't seem to act right,noisy,falsing,I.D.wrong over targets.Once I found the error of my ways,got it ground balanced right,it smoothed right out.I hunted the whole property and only found 2 coppers pennies more.I had a little more time to hunt so I went to a spot that only seems to produce old coins,wheaties,silver dimes,quarters and old Jefferson nickels.Got the detector set up,put it in the tones mode and went to work.Popped a 1936-D wheatie about 5" right away.Went to a spot I haven't hunted yet.Got a high tone.77 VDI.Out of the ground comes a Buffalo nickel.It was my 1st Buffalo nickel.The date was worn off .It was one of the coins I had as a goal this summer.Had to leave the spot.I dug all the signals at first just to see what the M-6 was telling me.I dug a 1/2 5 galloon bucket of trash.Deep iron was giving me fits but I'm starting to learn this puppy.I hope I have enough time to detect before the ground freezes to learn the M-6 better.It's misting outside otherwise I'd be detecting not typing.The tip sheet they sent with the M-6 has helped a lot.Bill
 
Kickback, I think you left a coin in the hole. I've never had a nickel read 77, not even close. I had a penny reading, and pulled a nickel out of the hole. I knew that wasn't right. I swept the hole again and still got the 77-78 readind . I redug in the hole and there was the penny. Rob
 
Yeah, I also think you left something down in that hole. It sure wasn't a nickel reading. The copper/bronze pennies will read 77-78 on my MXT, but so will a dime, so you might go back and check again. Could be a nice Merc down there.

I'm sure the M-6 will work out great for you, since it's the MXT's little brother. It has great family lines!

Guys I sweeped the detector over the hole twice.No other signal.I checked the grass around the hole,no other signal.The ground has a lot of salt/alkali in it.I always recheck the hole and area before I go on.I found 19 dimes and pennies in a 17" triangle shaped patch of ground doing that in one place this summer.It was by a spot that had an old phone booth.They removed the booth years ago.I saw the concrete pad and wires.I call it a mini coin spill.Bill
 
I believe you I just never got a nickel that high. I believe my highest was a 26.VDI. Even my war nickels read almost the same a regular nickels. Good hunting. Rob
