Was hunting a vacant lot near an old park of town and was getting lots of junk and twist off signals. But as I was walking toward and old tree I got a clad dime signal so I thought at least I will not get skunked! But about two inches deep I got a large coin looking object and I saw a reeded edge so I was thinking token. But as I rubbed a little crud off and saw Penny! Well this thing is the size of a half! So I was thinking US Large cent finally! But when I rub some more gunk off I could see 1943 and a tail of something. More spit and rubbing I see a kangaroo. It is a Australia Penny from 1943. Most likely a gift to a kiddo from a GI in WWII. It was found in the Texas Panhandle! 
When I get more crud off with peroxide I'll add a picture.
