As I am still in the learning stage with this machine, was wondering if a silver dime locks on the dime icon the same when found in the ground as it does in air testing, or if it is different, also, I know from air testing that a nickel does not produce the coin sound, was wondering if when hunting there was any thing different to help identify when a nickel is located, as I have dug when it said it was a nickel, only to find something else, any help would be appreciated, as I have yet to find either of these coins.

Question about 2500-need imput
- Thread starter GetRdone
- Start date
The illusive nickel. It's sad but just like gold rings it's smack dab in the middle of trash. Some people disc out the nickel and all the way up to zinc. Only hitting the copper cent up. This way you can come behind them and dig the nickels and the Indian heads that come in at zinc. Unless your cherry picking you'll just have to dig some trash. This is just a general rule for most detectors.

I agree with you khouse. When I first got my 2500, I thought every coin was identified with the "belltone". Not so. I probably missed lots of nickels, rings, and coins by not digging because of that mistake. I've dug many pulltabs that showed as nickels. Then I've dug some nickels that showed as pulltabs. You've just got to dig in that case. All others are pretty well on target. The 2500 is an excellent machine, but as a machine it can make mistakes.

A dime works the same way in the ground unless it is corroded, then it may ID as a penny or give a broken signal. Nickels only beep. If you have good hearing there is a very slight difference in the sound of the signal between nickel and pulltab.

I guess so bud. Nothing like repetition to keep one alert.
