The farmer cut the hay on the field that gave me all the LCs this spring so back I went . Running low and slow in TTF I dug every non ferrous signals I could hear . Found some nice relics including a horse bridal rosette and a 1912 NYS dog tag . Only two coins showed up , i dug my nicest IHP and a great surprise bucket list coin. I got a solid 12-21 on my ETrac , which is a old style pull tab signal on the ETrac. What popped out of the ground was something I never expected to find . My first ever Flying Eagle Cent in amazing shape . The area that I dug it was a hedgerow until about 3 yrs ago when it got cleaned out to make the field bigger . So it has never seen fertilizer or a plow . It's got a great patina on it but the reverse is a little roached .

Congrats on that flying eagle, Sweet one too!! That 1912 dog tag is another Sweet find. That's the oldest one I've seen posted in a while. I'm a big fan of the old dog tags.

Sweet array of relics and coins!
Great detail,on the IH.
I would not have realized that was a flying eagle coin, i'm always thinking its foreign coinage.

It's funny you say that . When I first looked at it quick I thought it was a 1856 . Didn't know at the time that was the key date . Then when I looked it up and realized what that was worth I had to look at it again lol . Alas it's a 1858 but I'm not complaining it's still my first

Congratulations on the IH and flying eagle,that one is still on my list.The unidentified piece between the 2 buckles looks like the piece on the carburetor(tractor) where the throttle linkage hooks up.
