Sound just like a nickel to me!!!
Now I'm out in the boonies folks! I had to carry the SE Pro like a rifle over my head to get to this first spot because getting in was so overgrown and I was nimbly following what I could see of a deer trail. But I get there and the only areas worthwhile are the dried up bogs. Okay, I'm here, let's do it! About 45 minutes in, after digging three holes, out pops this button! Then I scour the area for no other finds. Not even a can folks!
I get fed up as I usually do and book back out to the truck. It's 4:30pm when I get there and I move to another area, the area I mentioned where I saw what looked like an old curving wagon road with the curving hillside and trees lining it. Total bust. Make my way back up to the plateau, now it's about 6:15pm and I gotta start moving in the direction of the truck. But I've been over that area a number of times and I decide to take a different kinda zig zag route, as I usually do when repeating an area. I run into a clad coin spill in another dried bog, all separately, 2 dimes, a nickel and 2 memorials. Continue on and between some fallen pines I get this nickel signal real, real strong holding a 10-06 digital with absolutely no variance, and target it. On the high setting of the Garrett Pro Pointer AT I target it before even digging. I'm thinking another big pull tab or maybe a nickel just below the surface. WRONG!
1st 14K gold I've found with the Minelab SE Pro, 8x6 SEF, @ 3 inches deep. Damp mud!
Have fun out there and HAPPY HUNTING!!!

And yes, I think anyone who doesn't dig the lower and mid numbers is missing out big time. I myself didn't do it for ages, mainly out of laziness and time constraints. Lately though (past year or so) I've been digging a TON of the lower and mid numbers. Not consistently like I should of course, but most of the better sounding ones. Admittedly, I only do this at old sites, however. I don't really do it for the gold aspect, although that would certainly be nice. I started doing it to break the standard routine of only digging high tones, which can get kinda boring. There's simply too much stuff that can and DOES come up in the lower and medium ranges to forego digging those signals. Aside from the obvious gold...
