Five pence

[dan h]

Took my Golden new tone micromax to a local playground, found 5 dimes, 1 nickel, 6 pennies and a 2008 5 pence coin. Same diameter as a dime but thicker.

Dan,would that be a UK 5 pence coin ???

Dan sounds like the golden is working good , I wonder how that 5 pence got in the ground, ?

If it is a 5 pence piece then they roughly give the same type of signal that a hammer coin gives,the coins that are total rubbish are our modern 1 and 2 pound coins as these have iron cores and will of course give the detector the iron audio signal.

Seems so, shows no indication of Canada or other Commonwealth country that might feature Queen Elizabeth. Found in bark chip area of playground.

Seem so - meaning it appears to be a UK five pence coin.
