- Primary Interest:
- Metal Detecting
A few months back, I went to an elementary school I never detected before and started at the younger kid side (there were two different playgrounds, due to age of the kids). The surface was pea gravel. At certain spots, it drove my detector bonkers, giving me a good signal then waving it over again for a minute and nothing. Managed to get some dimes out of there. Then I went to the older kids side which also had pea gravel, but also a small sand area and woodchips. I went to a pair of what I believed to be what they are called balance beams , and started searching over there. I got a penny signal about three inches down. After scraping the chips off, I saw a circular silver and somewhat goldish color at the same time. I knew in an instant what it was. This was what I found:
A Canadian "Toonie"!!! My first one ever! After looking up online I realized why it came up penny. The inner part of the coin is made out of aluminum bronze, which contains 92% copper. This one is definitely a keeper!! GL & HH!!!!
