Just a count who doesnt dig the penny's signal???

[Ken in Georgia]

How many of you do not dig any of the penny signal's that are out there ???

 

[Jason in Enid]

This would be the perfect place for a poll. 'Cause I dig 'em!

 

[LabradorBob]

It depends on depth with me,and if your talking about lincoln cents.
I have found a lot of silver dimes that read as pennies!
I have dug barbers that registered 11-39 that were badly worn and thin.
if it right on top or very near though i will pass it up!

I agree with Bob, if I am in a place where a lot of clad is present, I skip shallow stuff and go for deep signals, now of I am at an old house I dig everything.....I have found lots of old coins at houses shallow, you never know!

 

[Jason in ID]

I skip shallow 12-37's in parks and other heavily used and heavily detected areas. I'll dig them in yards though.

 

[Jason in Enid]

I just dug a 1905 Barber dime that registered just like a memorial cent!! 4 inches and 11/12-43. If that's not enough reason to dig penny signals, I don't know what is.

diggem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MHirschmann]

I always dig them. I dig everything that isn't trash because I have an ongoing contest with various friends every year on coins and every penny counts. I know a lot of people that skip them. I don't dig them for value, I dig them for winning the competition between my friends and I. To each his own. HH -Marc

 

[ironman200081]

I always dig the copper cent signals no matter the depth. As for the zinc cent signals, I only dig them if they are 4" or deeper in a public park. On old private ground, I will dig them all.

 

[BarberDan]

I passed up a penny signal once because I had dug about 30 of them and Goes4Ever dug it and snagged a 1920 Merc ......smh......never again. LOL

 

[ashdigger]

I pass up the zinc and shallows, but dig the rest...heck I remember a time we were happy to get a penny signal lol...

 

[banditicey]

I Dig Pennies!

Some times they are not Pennies!

Not willing to take the chance

You should detect some of the parking meter strips I have detected at. A friend and I dug over 300 penny signals between two parking meters once just to see how many there were. We would pull back a square foot of sod and pinpoint out all the pennys. I dont dig them very often if they are not deep. I dig a few pennies and dimes when I go to someplace new just to see what to expect. other than obvious silver signals I love to dig 12-46 signals because for me its almost always a token or something cool.

[ronfin]

I'm sick of pennies, so if it's a shallow signal, I'll pass it. I can always find it again later since I quadruple hunt my areas. lol Anything over 3 inches it could be a Merc. Ya never know, so i dig them if it's below the 3 inch line.

 

[DW-BGW]

I dig them all no matter the depth, because a Indian Head 2.5 gold piece will fall in the Zinc penny range on some detectors, , HH Don

 

[Cutaplug]

I usually dig all signals that don't give a double signal. I guess that falls in the 1 1/2 inch range. I usually dig everything when I first get there to guage the depth of the coins. If I start finding deep clad then I set my mental depth filter at 4" I dig all quarter signals period. Today found a 44 washington at 1"...

 

[minimac]

I dig any thing that registers money- clad, pennies, sometimes pull tabs and screw caps, but I don't know enough NOT to dig them. And with 2-3 cents worth of copper in each penny, why not? That's more than the interest the bank is paying.

 

[pghmole]

Parks,hell no,old house sites most definitely,everything that hits nice comes out of there!

 

[E-TREC-Virginia]

Depends on how long I'm going to hunt for the day. Long Hunts (over 3 hours) = dig all good signals. Short Hunt = Cherry Pick

 

[MAcle1997]

If I'm in an area that has a lot of zinc pennies then I'll pass on them.
Usually I dig them though. Never know when it'll be something better
than a corroded zinc cent.
