2 Eagles today!

zaxfire69 · Oct 28, 2010

Hello Everyone. Went out for a couple of hours this morning and boy did I find a couple of beauties. 2 Eagles to be exact. The First eagle was the Eagle button. Using the F75 this one was down the length of a Garrett Propointer. Showed up as a bouncy 60's target. It was a deepy. Next I had a strong 90's target. The kind most would just think was junk iron or a big steel can. Well I decided to dig it and man am I glad I did. The Eagle has a backmark of H.H. Stratton Chattanooga, Tenn..
I have been looking on the internet tonight to try and find something similar with ZERO luck. I know that H.H. Stratton made Postcards and posters from around 1908-1917. Other than that thats what I have come up with. FEEL FREE to help out if you have anymore information on the Eagle. It cleaned up nicely. Thanks for reading and enjoy the pics.

Great finds :icon_thumright:

Sorry I can't help with any info.

P.S. I bought one of your detector stands. Works great and has held up well to some rough handling when I'm hunting in the woods. One suggestion would be to offer them in a brighter color to make it easier to find if it pops off after rubbing against a tree in the woods (yes it happened to me but luckily I was able to find it).

I do need to paint them a Different Color. I could paint them just about any color anyone would want. I just liked the black. Yes mine comes off in the woods as well. Especially when I am in the Vines and thick stuff. Not to sure what to make of this Eagle. Can't find a picture of one on the internet anywhere. Searched Yahoo and Google. Thanks guys. :thumbsup:

Thanks Allen. I had a set made. Both 1899's. One for me one for my wife. They turned out nice.

Wow, that eagle is awesome. It makes a guy think about those crushed can, high 90's bouncing that he didn't dig. I have no idea what is but it is cool. Very nice day of detecting for you. Congrats, and please let us know if you get an answer about your eagle.
