Todays in-change find!

Found this 1943 P War Nickle in my change today. I guess it is supposed to make up for my unlucky metal detecting lately! LOL!

That's pretty cool!

Are you using the stock coil on your XLT or did you put a Hot-Shot coil on it?

I found this in change. Lately, I have just been using my stock coil. The Hot-Shot seems to go crazy at old homesites because of the trash, so I prefer my stock coil. I use my hot shot when I am in less trashy areas.

Thanks!

I think the war nickels are 20 % silver, use a small coil for trashy areas, they pick through the trash better, smaller footprint.

Well at least you do use it. I've read lots of complaints about the Hot-Shot coils when used with Garrett machines - like they produce lots of false signals.

ClassicIISL has some good advise about the sniper coil. There is a 3.5 inch Blue Max coil that will fit your machine. Takes a lot longer to search an area, but the pinpointing is easy.
