This one is a 1943 S, so I went thought my War nickels and got one also that was a 1943 S plus a few of my other war nickles to try.
I tried the MXT first and seen where a reg nickle would read 20 and most of my war nickles read 20 but a couple read 22. This nickle from Ohio Coinhunter reads 55. Next I tried my Sovereign GT with the SunRay DTI 3 meter so it uses the 180 numbers. Reg nickle reads 144-145 while most war nickle read 145 up to 148. The nickle from Ohio coinhunter reads 172-173 which is almost where my zinc pennies and IH will read. Next I tried the Explorer XS II with the dual digital and a reg nickle reads 10-5 and the war nickles read 10-5 to 10-6 while this nickle from Ohio Coinhunter reads 7-24, so both the ferrous and the conductivity are differnt with this nickle. This one reads right at where my IH and zinc pennies read on the Explorer. Next I set up a new Quattro and tried it and it gave a 32 reading.
Out of all my war nickles none read this high on the meters. One thing I did notice with this nickle it looks real, but it dont look as good as mine do (not a clean looking as mine are when they come out of the ground)and that could be the ground condition it was in and still has a dull look to it unlike silver would, but like I say that can be the ground condition it was in. I was going to try to cean it to see if it would change it, but thought I better not.
So bottom line is this one is differnt and I dont remember seeing another one like this and yet I see Ohio Coinhunter found another one the same way.
Thanks for letting me see what this nickle would do on some of my detectors and i would like to know if i should send this nickle back to Ohio Coinhunter or to pass it on to the next person that may want to try it, but that is up to Ohio Coinhunter.
