What is this, MD gives me no signal.

I found this in a dig tonight, got this weird little bike. Signal was trash but I dig EVERYTHING...lol. When I was filling the hole back in I saw this coin, it is a penny but is it not metal? PP and MD do not see it. Is this something special?

Yes, as previously stated it is a steel cent. They were made during WWII due to a lack of copper. A little value, not much though as millions were made. Pinpointer should pick it up.

You need to run your detector(s) in all metal to pick up a steel cent.
