1944 Australian Penny

Hey Mike, that's a pretty old coin to come off a beach !
I'm going to concentrate on getting some of those older silver and copper coins from our bay beaches this year with my new Coiltek WOT...
I also have a Sunray X12 that hasn't been used yet, I will be doing some tests on the Wot and X12 to see which is the better coil.
I'll probably keep the better one, and sell the other ~ if there's not a great deal of difference between them.
But I intend to use bigger coils on the beaches, and concentrate mainly on signals in the top RH corner of the smart find screen,
at the same time noting depths ~ and I'll only be concentrating on digging 9" plus targets.....
That's the plan anyway.
BUT ~ I don't see me walking past too many targets landing on the gold/tab zone though...
I'll have to check at least a few out...
You can bet if I dig too many of these tab/gold readings, and come up with heaps of tabs...
I'll go back to the original plan, and concentrate on old silvers and coppers !

Hi Mike.
Re. "Why only 9" plus targets?" ~ I feel that there is older stuff down beyond the capability of standard 8" - 10" coils...
I see that your penny was only 5" deep, ~ not deep at all for a coin that goes back so far !
A few questions Mike...
Why would a 63 year old coin be so shallow ?
Maybe sands re-deposited, or thrown up by heavy seas ?
Was there a deep cut at the beach Mike ?
Heh heh ~ So many questions Grasshopper !

I don't know if there were Silver Coins Down Under in that Time Frame, but if there was, then you may have a good chance in finding some. If there wasn't any Silver Issued, at least you have a New Spot to search for Older Australian Coins and Jewelery. Of course, if that is where you are located at! Good Luck and HH to you. 
Hit the same site again late yesterday with the SE and the Excalibur, just as I got to the beach I realised that I had left the SE head phones at home. Okay I was thinking no big problem; I will just hit the water with the Excalibur when I noted that I had also left my scoop at home!! Right with a 90 minute return trip I was not heading back, so I used the SE without the headphones, and my cut off shovel. Let me tell you this was real hard, I don
