Dano,

No resentment or hard feelings here. What serious metal detectorist US or any nationality would not like a one or two week detecting trip to England. Great finds, friendly people, government understanding (fairly good). Whats not to like?

There are so many zinc pennies in the ground at my favorite park I discriminate out zinc pennies as a nuisance. Monty

I've seen it written that there is more coinage in the ground than in circulation. I've wondered how they (whoever "they" are) determined that. On another note in response to Monty's post about zinc pennies I used to do the same thing until I read a post that mentioned some small rings and other jewelry will ID and ring in like zincs. The second zinc (I thought) I dug after reading that post turned out to be a small gold ring. So, I'm back to digging zincs cruddy as they are and grumbling as i thought it was bad enough that a lot of gold and jewelry hides in the aluminum/pull tab range.

I have tested my new Garrett machine on a 14k gold ring and zinc pennies, and I can tell the difference by the tone. On my old Ace 250, gold comes lin bouncing between a nickel and a pull tab, so I am not bothered by discriminating out zinc pennies. Or at least I don't think so. I suppose it just depends on your individual machine and how you interpret sounds? Monty
