Due to an effect known as "Metallurgical Phenomenon" freshly buried coins are often difficult to impossible to detect. After they have been in the ground for awhile you'll be able to pick them up.

Not a lot you can do about rusty nails.. It's the highly conductive rust coating
that causes nails to jump up high. The machine will hit on the lower conductive
iron, and the highly conductive rust, and bounce back and forth.
When this happens, you can almost be sure it's rusty iron of some kind.
Nails do it.. Ditto for bottle caps when they start to rust.
Actual coins will read stable most all of the time. They don't jump around much
unless they are really leaching into the soil, and even then they usually don't
drop down low like iron. They just tend to read higher than normal.

Yesterday I dug 3 holes in my back yard and buried a nickel in each one. I took my Ace 250 and scanned over the holes. Some times I would get a signal and other times I wouldn`t. They were buried about 3 " deep. I had the machine in coin mode with the sensitivity set at 5 notches. Was just wondering why it didn`t pick them up all the time?

Did you try relics mode? It has the uncanny ability to see through aqnything that may be hindering the signal.
