One flying eagle cent is rare...I don't think I have ever seen two found in the same hunt. I like the buckle...congrats on your finds.

I actually like the little axe. Check it for little dimples or holes where a wire would have been attached. It reminds me of the little hatchet pins that temperance movement queen Carrie Nation's followers wore. It also reminds me of hatchets worn by a couple of long-ago political campaigns although their names escape me right now...

I also don't think I've seen anybody post two flying eagles found in one day - saw two found in
successive days . Righteous ! Argentium.

Cool finds. Score on the Eagles!

Love those Eagle cents. Still hoping to find one...

The axe is pretty neat too. Wonder if it was a game piece. I had a game of jack straws when I was a kid that was all garden tools. Mine was plastic, but they could've done 'em metal early on. fibberjibber is probably closer to the truth, but might be a toy...

I remember the happy dance I did when I found my first and only flying eagle 1858 . I could not sleep for three days and I get exited when I think about it. I can not imagine Xs 2. You guys had one of the best hunts I have seen on here this season great job on all those saves. Rob Ps. that was my first year over 7 yrs ago.
