    Hello everyone! Here's some pictures of some things I've found penny-searching, I'd like it if any of you can offer insight into the questions I pose for each one:

    1. Is this thing gold plated? The second picture is very close to its actual color.

    2. Have any of you ever found play money whilst searching? I found this and couldn't help but laugh :smile:smile Needless to say I kept it ;)

    3. How often would you say you find pennies with stamps on them? Have any of you found similar ones to the ones below? Can anyone attribute the origin/meaning behind the '79' or the 'U?' I'm assuming the Kennedy one is fairly common?

    The "U" looks to me to be a horse shoe, probably a lucky penny.
