Hi guys, well the good old ACE 250 struck again today.
I found this 1858 Flying Eagle Penny, also found a 1918 S Mercury Dime,
1911,1919,1924,1930,1942,1946,1952 wheat pennies, a 1892 Indian
head penny and a token worth 25 cents in trade.

Found all of this at a house that they are tearing down
for a parking lot. Needless to say I will be back their tomorrow!

By the way this is my second flying eagle penny that I've found, but
this is the best one. It is really a nice coin. Heck any flying eagle is a
nice coin.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I found the Flying Eagle coin
at about 6 inches. The soil is really dry here in Ohio, even though
we have had lots of rain. Most of the other coins were at 4 to 5 inches.

Yeah I really like my ACE 250 and I always like the guys who say it won't go
deep, YEAH RIGHT!, I've hunted sites with a lot of trash and sites with little
trash. The neat thing about this detector is when it locks on to a coin, it doesn't
move. All you have to do is pinpoint and dig. I do use a SunRay Probe, cause
the deep stuff is easier to locate with the probe.

P.S. I also have 5 other detectors, including Whites XLT, Minelab Soverign,
Tesoro Tiger Shark, a Fisher 1235 and others

An absolutely awesome Flying Eagle! Great job on the Merc and the Wheats to! I'd love to see a larger pic and the reverse of the Eagle. They take paradise and put up a parking lot. I hope you can get a lot more time in before they pave it over. Best of luck to you. HH!

Hey guys, sorry I forgot to post the back side of the flying eagle.
I"ll post them both again.

I still can't believe I found another flying eagle. When I first took it '
out of the hole, I looked at it and said to myself, that looks like an
eagle. Boy was I surprised. Good thing there wasn't anyone close by
when I found it, cause I was sorta talking to myself haha!.

Well HH, Ringfinder
