Hello all,

Last Saturday, I went MDing to a park with my detecting buddy doninbrewster. It was an awesome day out ! Beautiful weather, we had had some rain a few days before and therefore the ground conditions were about perfect.

We had a slow start but things went better when Don told me we should try a specific area of the park. Actually, on other occasions, I had already covered a bit of that area but pretty fast and always had clad only. I was a little hesitant. Was I wrong !

A Jew's harp and a dreddle (did I spell that right??)

My first Flying Eagle Cent !! (1858) That one was a little funny. I actually thought I had an IH when I found it. It was all crusty. I started cleaning it when I came home. Anyway I would hold it, I would not see the Indian Head... And then... I saw the Eagle ! Yes, it is worn... But I'm ecstatic !

My nicest Barber Dime !
