Nice find and it's not in bad shape in my opinion... I've dug modern nickels that didn't look that good!!
What numbers did it ID as on your X-70 with the small coil?
Congradulations,
Felix

Thanks Felix!
The nickel was pretty shallow, under 2 inches. The site is a construction area so, I'm sure it got moved around. The target ID was a dead on 12 from all directions. I have had nickels ring up anywhere from +8-+16 using this coil. I have noticed that depth, soil types and whether a lot of fertilizer (corrosion enhancer) was in the ground seems to have an extra effect on nickels more so than the higher number targets. . Wherever they ID, they usually lock right on and stay steady. Using 4 tones, the "bong" of a nickel almost always sounds more "solid" to me than other targets in this range. I dunno, could be I'm nuts, that's just how it seems...
