Now I know why you guys pick up so many dimes:rofl:

Hey, got some interesting info from a minelab owner.
Yee haa. He told me he just couldn't pick up any 5 pence pieces.
During our little vacation we did a tot lot at 04:30 we got a large handful of them 5 pences and not a lot else although they missed a deep pound. We guess it's been getting done with a minelab.

OK, here's an interesting comparison between your dimes and our 5 pences.

The bottom picture, did you switch them around? Our dimes are clad.

What is your 5 pence made of?

I got a beautiful 1943 Aussie 3 pence at 6" and it is smaller than a U.S. dime.

Yeah they got blown about with the wind and must have got switched round when I re placed them.
I really don't know what they're made of, but ask no questions and you'll get no lies.
Our 5 is a hairs breadth larger diameter than the dime and a bit thicker.
More pics to come later from our vacation, will try and put in some landscapes too.

It always seems that the different detectors ive used each one seems to take a liking to different coins.
