I am keeping up with him! Thanks..
Here is what I found out on the coin. Its about the size of a silver dollar. I think the one Bill found might be a bit different as this is British.
The George V Penny series, lasting throughout George V's reign from 1911 to 1936, features a partitioned, circular reverse design with 'COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA' around the outer ring with the year at the bottom and 'ONE PENNY' within the inner ring. The Obverse
The heads side of the coin
obverse features the crowned bust of King George V facing to the left and the Legend
The inscription around the inner edge of the coin
legend, 'GEORGIVS V D.G. BRITT : OMN : REX F. D. IND : IMP' ('George V, by the grace of god, Ruler and King of Britain, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India').
Like most George V series, this a very popular series to collect. In lower grade, all dates can be acquired at reasonable expense excluding the 1930 Penny. Type set collectors would do well aiming for the 1911, 1933, 1934, 1935, 1936 for good strikes, the 1911 especially as it is often found with full Mint brilliance
The original golden-red-orange-pink colour of a copper coin
mint brilliance.
This series was struck at the London, Heaton, Bombay, Sydney and Melbourne mints. From 1911 to 1915 the London mint struck the pennies unless they bear the Mintmark

The tails side of the coin
reverse, which indicates they were struck at the Heaton mint. From 1916 to 1918 the Calcutta mint struck pennies bearing the Mintmark

reverse. From 1920 to 1924 and 1926 the Sydney mint struck pennies in conjunction with the with the Melbourne mint, which is only differentiable in the 1920 dot above and dot below which were struck at the Sydney and Melbourne mints respectively. The rest of the series was struck by the Melbourne mint.

You are making some great finds with your Etrac! The Big Penny is cool, My first time out with my Etrac in August, I found a 1928 Big Penny at an old church in Middle Tennessee, first old coin with the Etrac. Keep up the awesome finds, can't wait to see what you find next!
