Last couple old yard digs scores me my first Flying Eagle Cent. Happy to check this one off the list. Funny - with the extra nickel in the coin, I was surprised when I saw the back side and immediately thought - Wow that didn't hit like an Indian. When I flipped it over the real surprise kicked in!! Down about 10". The "shot" Walker is a 1918. My first thought was - oh man it is damaged. Now, however, I am happy and can only imagine the story behind it. 1934 Union Pacific "Lucky Piece" token was a fun find although I must admit at first sight I thought it was another Half :laughing7:. Few relics and 22 Wheaties ranging from 1918 to 57D. Goggled the little key that is made in England and it turns out to be a key from a Jaguar. The oblong keys were for the boot (trunk) or glove compartment.
Thanks for looking and good luck out there!!

Great finds. Still haven't checked the Flying Eagle off my list yet. Maybe its around the corner. Looks like a few nice yards.

I wonder if someone was holding that walker in their hand when it was shot
