Nickels are funny. I can go weeks without digging any and then I get an "ear" for them and they come in droves!!! They hit like rusted crown caps so you have to dig some trash to get them. The usually hit in the lower right corner of the smart screen. If the depth meter shows the target to be in the 6" or deeper range, I go for them. I hunt in im-16 so I basically hunt wide open with no discrimination.

Those are some really nice finds,dude. Keep up the good work. Do you hunt in any lake areas upstate? I also use a excalibur when i come up north, but not much luck up there in the water. Can you suggest any lakes in monticello area? Thanks.
