Iron in the Hole and a nickel

[Tony N (Michigan)]

Detected the old farm driveway after work with the 9" LF coil.
The '42' nickel is nothing special.
What is special is the nails in the same hole as the nickel and being able to pick it out of the nails.
I've been over this driveway with many different detectors over the years.

Yes. I am finding the XP very good for this type of detecting.
I had to run the Reactivity a little faster. 17kHz. Then sneak in different angles with the front of the coil to try to sound on the good object among the nails.

They must have pulled the nails out of the boards when repurposing the old boards from the old house and tossed the nails in the yards and in the driveway before they
had cars with tires that would go flat. Probably just had a horse and buggy to go to town. Hard to get a horse hoof flat or wooden wheel flat.
