I got a early start this morning to do some serious detecting. When I arrived at the new site that I just recently found I looked down and saw that I still had my house shoes on. Lucky for me I always keep a extra pair of shoes in the car.
This new site looked great, but all I was digging was trash, some clad coins and a boat load of Lincoln pennies. I couldn't even find a wheat penny to spur me on and to top it off I wasn't feeling too good either. To make matters even worse the ground was really hard to dig. Then it dawned on me, I forgot to rub my Genie before heading out this morning. I decided to take a couple of Advil and push on. I couldn't find nothing good, nothing, so I decided to move the discrimination up to where square tabs disc out and increase the threshold to up my odds of finding a silver coin. I was getting ready thrown in towel and call it day when I got a good audio signal. After digging down a few inches I popped a 1942 War Nickel. Whoa there, that's not possible since I had the discrimination set way past where a nickel discriminates out. I'm thinking that this has happened to me in past, so I wanted to document this event with pictures. I took a picture of my settings on the Cibola, some hole shots and covered the hole. I swept the hole again and I got another good audio tone right in the middle of where I replaced the plug. I'm thinking this War Nickel has a silver buddy that was lost at the same time. NOPE, it was a old Coca-Cola screw cap. What are odds? Was I lucky or what that the screw cap was next to the War Nickel?
The silver streak continues.

I wouldn't trade mine for anything.
