Nothing too exciting being found today...tried a few new sites that didn't produce what I thought they would, but isn't that the way... here are the finds including a few first such as a complete spigot, 1857 flying eagle cent and this huge axe head... also managed this gold gilted button from an early colonial site which I thought would come in better shape but you can't win them all...

You should have stayed until you got the 3rd because you probably just missed the good one. :wink:

Congratulations on all your finds, the axe is awesome. I bet that would take a big man to swing that baby. The fatty is always a nice find. One thing about finding a Flying Eagle penny is the feel of the coin, it is fatter than a regular Indian Head penny.

One time my partner and I both found two Fatties in one year. I have found 5 of them.

Again Congrats,
HH, Ringfinder
