-UPDATE- Flying Eagle Penny--Beginners Luck.
A member asked if one of my indian head pennies was a flying eagle. I was not sure what that was and found it in the red book. I also found a date on it 1858. I posted a couple of new photos of it. I drew an arrow indicating the 5 in the 1858.
TY very much.
I have been metal detecting for about two months. Joined a local club near my town who have instilled in me the do's and don't of metal detecting. I noticed an area that could be detected, but you have to cross over a national historical site to get to it. So metal detector in hand I approached the authorities of the site. Right away he said "Ohe no!!! No way!!! No no no!!!!. I quickly said I understand the laws but wanted to ask if I could detect on the area that was only reachable by crossing over the historical grounds. He then said "I am a hunter(animal) and understand your passion, so go ahead." To be honest I think he said yes because I had my finacee with me. Getting permission was well worth it. Hear is what I have found after returning several times. The military buttons are from the war of 1812. Light Artillery, 1st regiment.
1 Seated Liberty, with stars, but no date (1850'sh)
5 indian head pennies. One 1860 another 1862
1 silver three cent piece, no date worn as necklace.
6 V nickels
12 Buffalo Head nickels
12 Mercury dimes
3 Barber Dimes
Miscellanous cufflinks, buckles and a early 1900's HEAD HOUSE luggage tag.
I am hooked
