Round 2 on the AdLawn

[Ronstar]

Snuck out again this morning, back to where I left off and continued to grid towards the building. Yesterday was four clad dimes and a nickel plus the Merc. Today I managed a 52 wheat and fairly close nearby a flash of silver, a 43P nickel!!!

Odd thing to day was an weird reading bordering on nickel/tab and was four way repeatable and showing 4” down so interested. Located a nickel sitting on top of a quarter and both were perfectly flat. Ok, nickel explains no quarter signal. Pulled them apart and discovered nickel had corroded the quarter! Never seen this before…….

I have found several nickels with quarters and even a silver dime…. Never seen anything like this.. maybe the quarter was already like that.
One thing for certain, a nickel mixed in with other coins really plays havoc on the signal, but I have also experienced and investigated these types of signals with the Equonox more than any other detector.
Could be many more cases of nickel masking going on that we realize.

Someone tried to drill through the quarter and probably broke the bit in the process. This never finishing their “project” Look at the perfect circular cut.

 

[Ronstar]

I thought that too but the nickel has that green dot (copper?) lined up with the hole. I actually had to pull it apart to separate. Granted, it does look like a drill hole tho

Just pulled it out of the water and cleaned it up. You can see where the drill walked a bit before cutting!!! Guess I need to start wearing glasses more…….

 

[fwcrawford]

I agree… someone tried to drill that quarter..

 

[JimmyCT]

Poor George he didn’t deserve that
I suppose we should all be thankful he wasn’t made out of silver

I’m in agreement that quarter was drilled. You can even see where the bit has appeared to walk.
