They all add up.  Silver is great to find these days.

I've just noticed the small 'D' on the 1942 sixpence.. these Australian coins were minted in the USA.. Coins struck at the San Francisco mint (1942–1944) carry a small S below the coat of arms, while those from the Denver mint (1942–1943) have a small D in the same place..

Simon the reading should be good as Australian pre-decimal silver coins minted between 1910 and 1945 comprise 92.5% pure silver (sterling silver). Later dates contain 50% silver like most of NZ silver coin.

Eric so size does matter 😀 Although they are Sterling silver (Not the Queen Elizabeth Coins) They seem to be in a tight range for each size coin. When I was discriminating targets I always lifted the coil to height that gave me a mild definite clear signal, it seemed to reduce the ground effect in hot or salt ground.
