I got a signal today that I just cant understand, 12-47 repeatable had that silver ding to it so I dig thinking silver silver silver and it was just another penny. I just dont understand that. I understand that pennies can show up all over the place most of them in my area come up as 11-44, 12-45 for the 60's pennies most of them thou are 11-44 talk about weird. Maybe its my soil condition im in canada
 
I get memorials from 11-44, 45, 46 when the soil is very dry, now that is the US penny...ALMOST EVERY Canadian penny I dig comes in at 11-46,47. I think I am digging a silver dime all the time, your pennies must be a purer copper than ours :clapping:
 
Dug two memorials reading 12-46 today. Nice tone to them too. Had a few more that were a bit lower. still learning this machine but those two sounded good to me :lol:
 
If you only dig signals 6 inches or deeper, then those penny signals turn into really old wheats or silver coins. Just my observation here in the states.....nge
 
***. . . silver and it was just another penny. I just dont understand that.***

I live in Canada and you will find that canadian pennies made in the 70's to early 80's jump from 12-46 and 47 to 44 and then back again. Yes, they have a silver sound probably because of 98% copper and 1.75% TIN added those years. Most other pennies hit 12-43 to 12-44 but so do the dimes. I have found 3 Silver nickels from 1900 to 1915 that ring in at 12-36....you see 12:36 and think its a penny but its silver, you see 12-46 and its a penny instead of silver. Just have to get use to it. I use TTF most of the time since the high pitched sounds in Conductive just freak me out. attached is the Composition of coins in Canada....they change the comp every couple of years....making it difficult.
