Don't think you'll find them that way. Everybody wants to find only those things, but the reality is they don't.

I dont know about the fractional silvers, but some of them will be obvious:
Flying Eagle and Indian Head cents - 65, + or - ; same range as zinc cents
Nickles of all kinds - 33, + or -
Silver quarters - 85-88
Halves and dollars - above quarter.

But with all the variables involved, that VDI is going to be unreliable, at least with absolute precision. What you need to do is dig everything above foil that A) sounds good, B) has tight, unscattered VDI response, and C) is deeper than 3"

Also keep your threshold as high as you can without a lot of falsing. That will enhance the VDI indications.

There was one on this site. It may have been under the f 75 title.

There may be a little differences on the soil readings vs. air. I know IH cent hits on either side of 52 in my soil. I got one as high as 58 one time, but mostly in the 52 range in my soil. I have always had V nickels hit around 28-32 range just like a Jefferson nickel, sill others may have a different reading. I have little time to make a list on my older coins. Something I need to do, but I haven't any time right now for doing such things. It is a pretty day and it would be good to get a couple hours MD'ing in today.

I would like to see a list again also.
