[QUOTE="pberrett, post: 52128, member: 2077"] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2077/1390548825_penny.jpg[/img] Thanks for the replies. I mentioned the corroded item I found at Kilcunda which I could not identify. After using some electrolysis I was able to remove a lot of the gunk and buried within was a 1918 penny which was a real surprise. Its amazing to think that that penny has probably been there for 70 years or more but has never been found by anyone before. Its older than I am. Interesting I looked up the penny in Google and it turns out there is a little stamped 'I' on the coin which shows that the coin was minted in India during the war. Speaking of erosion, the dredging in the bay apparently has caused massive beach erosion out at Portsea. I wonder whether this has revealed many coins. cheers Peter [/QUOTE]
