Some day way in the future and archaeologist is going to find them, and be very happy but wonder why were the coins there.

A little off the main subject but when I was about 6 years

Tried it with worn and corroded pennies.

For you Americans bear in mind our pennies were 1.2 inches in size and weighed 9.45 grams and were very thin.

I have heard of people skimming them 100 feet or more, but my unco hands ensured they never went more than 8 feet or far enough for me to retrieve them.

An old British, Australian or Kiwi Penny though makes a good skimming stone.
