A trashed flying eagle cent and other river goodies.

[riverdiver]

Found my first flying eagle cent today but I cannot verify the date even with a loupe, the rest is my usual haul from the river. The cent in question is in the upper right corner and totally trashed, sorry for the horrible photo, the other 3 are wheats.

What a great mix of finds. Don't really know why, but the Flying Eagle Cent is one of my top "To Find" items.
Congrats,

Congrats on your first one.

I bet it's either an 1857 or 1858. LOL

I've dug a couple flying eagles over the years, and they always seem to be trashed. But I've never dug a complete pipe. Those are killer finds.

Really COOL finds! The complete pipe is from Mogadore Ohio {1880s 1890s}. I lived there as a kid and dug thousands of pipes from the old dumps there. This was one of the more common types but not the most common. They actually used the same mold at other potteries but yours looks more like Mogadore. Most others were a red clay with no glaze. Mogadore was grey ironstone clay with a salt glaze.
