Went out detecting with a friend today for a few hours. Decided to go to a spot we went to yesterday even though we didn't find anything and there was other plugs everywhere but we had a good feeling about it. Ended up finding a area with a ton of iron, dug a test hole and found some clam shell, brick and potery. We slowed down and decided to just pound that area till it got dark. My first good single was a toy army man and a few feet from that I got another one. Less than a foot away i got my forst flying eagle cent 1858. Found a complete suspended clip, earing and a few buttons after that. Also got a style of buckle I haven't found before not sure what it was from. As it was getting dark i thought i was digging another button, poped the plug and saw what I thought was tiny tomback. Di dnt feel and sign of a shank and after a closer look I realised it was my first trime 1852. We left shortly after that but left alot of land unsearched.

Cool army men, nice buttons and trime! I got my first trime last fall; I need to get back to that site soon. Congratulations! That looks to me a good site if you can work through the iron.
 

Awesome finds!
 

Congrats on a very nice batch of coins and relics. That would make for an excellent outing.
 

Wow! Quite the lineup there. Some very nice finds to show. Thanks for sharing.
 

Nicely done old finger, congrats!
 

Killer hunt, killer site, congrats! :occasion14:
 

Great finds and well done on hanging tough when a lot of people would have given up on the site after the first hunt!
 

Old Finger, y'all did well at this spot . I like the lead soldiers they are cool, but one piece caught my attention in particular. The 6th pic. down of the face of the button. I kept trying to see some sort of design on the buttons front. Now this may be that I'm a former Marine, but upon enlarging the pic I believe I see (barely) an Eagle at the top of the button sitting atop of a Globe. Look closely. The Eagles head is facing left, his wings are spread facing left and right. If you look to the bottom left of what I believe the globe to be, you can barely make out what and where the Anchor would be. The emblem of the Marine Corps: the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. If this is what I believe it is, you have a nice early Marine Corps button. Go back to this site and take your time. Good luck. Let me know upon further investigation if you see what I believe I see.
 

Great stuff there! A flying eagle and trime in one hunt is pretty impressive (I have yet to find either)! And those toy soldiers!? I would like to find some of those! Nice to hear that you found those despite not being the first one there!
 

Wow Old Finger, what a great hunt, congrats. Your soldiers are Barclay "Podfoot" design, made from early 1950's-early 1970's. Yours are in great shape for being buried, wow! Sub 8-)
 

Awesome site & great hunt, congrats on your first FE, nice trime & buttons, cool buckle & lead soldiers, hurry back there, congratulations on all the saves
 

Awesome relics!
 

Good job getting those bucket listers and nice relics Well done
