Death by pesticide. Murderous on copper and nickel....and the flying eagle is copper-nickel. I've never found one of those and you don't hear about many finding them in very good conditional at all. Still a good find.

Your descriptions gave me a good chuckle. Thanks, I needed that! With all of that land to cover, here's hoping you find a real treasure out there somewhere that the plow and chemicals missed. Best of Luck!

Ouch! She's burnt! Fertilizer really kills coins out in the fields. With 6 fields and 160 acres there's bound to be another one there. Hopefully that one will be better.

Probably looks better than I will after 157+ years. At least you got one!
