Four in one

Got this nice combo in one spot. Considering this is an old FL park the coins are a bit unusual. A 1938 Australian Half Penny, two 1932 Canadian Pennies and my favorite a 1944 silver United States of America / Filipinas 20 Centavos. Now the headscrather is how they got there? I love stuff like this.

I've done a little cleaning with baking soda. The silver was so cruddy I didn't even know what I had untill I started cleaning.

Was using the Ultimate 13 and got a jumpy warbling high tone. Almost sounded trashy since this place has lots of shallow aluminum trash but the depth was a little too deep and the mixed up tones a little too sweet. Glad I dug it!

I found one of those 20 centavos pieces in Wv. Knew what I had when it came out of the dirt as I had one in my box of coins that I had picked up from various places while in the Navy. I wondered if it was possible that the previous home owner (now deceased) may have been in the PI during WW-II. Also found one rosie and two mercs in the same yard. It was a very good hunt.

Florida is a magnet for Canadians escaping the cold so I am not surprised that you would find Canadian coins in a old public park. They look like they were not in circulation very long before they were lost. I love digging those mixed up signals they are always a surprise. If I were to drop a few $1.00 and $2.00 Canadian coins in a Florida park or beach I wonder if they would get pick up as the signal is so strong like a aluminum can.
I live next to a park here in Canada and I have found coins from the US , British, euros and even an NYC transit token.
Unless the ground thaws here my next detecting will be in Fl in March and I will be digging those all signals above iron.
Thanks for sharing
