Hi folks. I was out for a hunt today after our clubs year end seeded hunt and found this 1919 fishscale and a 1922 nickel. The fishie was a tough signal because the spectra graph was showing all three freq in the green but it pinpointed 22.5 just like a bottle cap does. Glad I decided to dig it because 1" away from the fishie was a bottle cap. The nickel was about 4' away and I got a good tone on it but when I pp it it showed 7.5 with 2.5 close behind and when I wiggled over the target it showed iron. Sure glad I decided to dig. For me Canadian nickels usually I d high even wrap around the corner but usually pp blue and green. Just goes to show Ya u just never know. Cheers everyone and HH
 
Howdy Postal Two--

Those are some really nice finds! I especially like the 1922 and its beautifull toning. That coin wasn't in circulation very long at all. Your description of the two digs is a reminder that successful detecting is just as much art as it is science. Well done! Best of luck and...

Happy Hunting!

thanks man your kind words mean alot . yes those nickels were only made from 1922 to 1936, and there one of my favorites to find. our nickels are 100% nickel and often come out with beautyful colours . i think its ferilizer that does it . the last one of that year i dug came out purple green and yellow and it will never be for sale. thanks again HH
