Hey Monte,

Delayed response here as well. I’m not as active here as I should be, it’s a great forum!

Yes, stock coil, zero mode, one bar short of full sensitivity. Ground balance around 82.

This is a large area and the desirable targets are 6+ inches in the dirt. Low and slow gets the good stuff. Oddly enough, this nickel had a scratchy high tone to it. Maybe because of the depth? Once it was out of the ground, it sounded like a normal nickel. I re checked the hole just in case. Nothing.

Either way, thanks for the kind words. My detecting has been sporadic. I’ve been working on my project truck in most of my spare time.
