I have had some pretty good success in picking out coins from trash with the C$ but this one surprised me. I was on the beach using the C$, a lot of foil in the area. I get a strong penny zinc sig on both swings but when I X the swing, I get an iron reading. I was going to go, figuring it was a rusty cap but there is a difference in sound and in the one direction the numbers held pretty solid and the tone was clear. I dug about 6 or 7" and found what first appeared to be a small piece of rusted metal with some barnacles on it. One part sticking out seemed a little too round for nature so I took it home instead of adding it to trash. It took some plyers but under the barnacles was a zinc penny in pretty poor shape. A zinc penny in any shape let alone bad shape is nothing to get worked up about but the fact that the C$ identified it correctly with rusty iron actually on it really surprised me. Still find it hard to understand how it saw that penny, at least in the one directional swing.
