I got out to two colonial houses and a Quaker meeting house here in NNJ. I finally found a flying eagle cent! 1857! I also found this strange copper whistle pendent that is being held by a little hand. Has anyone ever seen anything like that? Other highlights are the 1830 large cent and really pretty 1899 indian. Some assorted relics as well.

Congrats on your first flying eagle. Looks like you got an 18th century buckle there as well.
