Single Direction Beep?

I'll throw in my 2 cents ever though I'm pretty new to this.  I started by digging almost every time I got a beep and it seems like the non repeatable beeps, or the ones that read different from different directions are not round, and with the exception of zinc pennys they are trash.  A coin, which is generally what I hunt, is a pretty even sound from all directions and reads pretty consistent.  I have not found any coins that weren't laying flat, but hear theses can read different at different swing directions.  I have found a bunch of pennys and the zinc ones do not sound off as good as other coins, but do sound different than trash.  I was at a sandlot last week and I found about thirty pennys in a 10' x 10' area.  This wasn't very profitable but gave me a chance to learn what a penny sounds like, I can pretty much tell if I'm going to be digging a penny now.  Now if I could only I could find a spot that a little kid had a roll of silver coins to play with.

With the Compadre when I get a single way signal, I turn 90? and re-sweep.

The signal now disappear (trash) or read loud and clear (target).
