Testing Different Methods for Cleaning Nickels

Since I’m snowed in for a while and can’t get out to detect I decided to finish this project on different methods of cleaning nickels that come out of the ground. Let me know what you think, and if you have a method that I didn’t review, let me know in the comments. Hope you enjoy it! If you’re new to the channel, check out some of my other videos. I do 2 or 3 adventures a week (since I’m retired) and post at least one video a week. Sometimes I post a bonus video when they start to pile up! Feel free to leave a comment or a question, and definitely hit the subscribe button so you can come along on the next adventure! #scoutingforhistory #metaldetecting #noktamakrolegend #noktalegend #legend #noktamakropulsedive #accupoint #noktapulsedive #noktaaccupoint #xpdeus I’m not sponsored by any equipment companies, but I use: NoktaMakro Legend NoktaMakro Simplex NoktaMakro PulseDive Pinpointer Nokta Accupoint Pinpointer And now the XP Deus… GoPro Silver (mounted on the shovel) Nomad RootSlayer Shovel Whites Digging Tool My ‘standard’ settings for the Legend in suburban yards: Field Mode All Metal 6 tone, with 1-10 volume turned down low. I want to hear the iron but not have it drown out everything else. Sensitivity turned to 25-27 depending on interference Recovery speed 5 - I turn that a little lower if the ground is ‘clean’, and turn it up a little if there are a lot of junk targets Iron filter 8 - if there’s a lot of small iron in the ground I might turn it down to 5 or 6 I grid the yard left to right in 10 kHz, then turn and grid the other way in Multi1 Dig it all! I previously used the Garrett Ace 300 and the Garrett “carrot” pinpointer. Suitable for beginners but the NoktaMakro equipment has performed much better. Thinking of getting into the hobby? I really recommend contacting a metal detecting dealer, either a store in your area or an online detecting specialist. They can definitely match your budget with the right equipment for you. I don’t recommend buying equipment online from other sales sites (Amazon, Etsy, EBay, etc) since you can’t be sure of what you’re getting. Trust in a reputable dealer. I use Kellycodetectors.com… but again, not sponsored by them or anyone else.
