"The metal is corrosion-resistant, finding many uses in alloys, as a plating, in the manufacture of coins, magnets and common household utensils, as a catalyst for hydrogenation, and in a variety of other applications."
"Similar to the elements chromium, aluminium and titanium, nickel is a very reactive element, but is slow to react in air at normal temperatures and pressures due to the formation of a protective oxide surface. Due to its permanence in air and its slow rate of oxidation, it is used in coins, for plating metals such as iron and brass, for chemical apparatus, and in certain alloys such as German silver."

The BEALE CIPHERS [sic] claim $30 MILLION (today's figure) in gold and jewels are buried in IRON POTS within 4 miles of Montvale, Virginia. Could metal detectors be adjusted to locate those iron pots, about 6' underground?
