Tony said:More like a phantom signal.
I have tested a US nickle with a GPX5000, Deepstar and some other high powered PI detectors.....maximum is 15" and this is a very soft signal.
This is also on pristine white sand beaches with no EMI for 50 miles.
I refuse to believe 18" unless I saw it for myself. Most of the time the "coin signal" is falsing......listen for all of the other "coin signals" adjacent to where the coin has been buried. More often than not, the operator will not sweep around the area to gauge falsing or EMI but will sweep a very tight spot to where the coin is buried.......anyone can get a "signal".

Tony,I agree with you, in the belief that whatever the video was supposedly showing, it was not a nickle causing the response....matt
