Today I went back to the area where I found my first seated dime yesterday. I started finding wheats and IHP then I got a really good dime signal at about 4 or 5 inches dug down and out popped an 1891 seated dime. The back was really Grey so I tried gently cleaning it but it didnt all come off and it brightened the coin alot >:( . Any suggestions on cleaning the back without brightening the coin would be great. I was about to leave when I got a signal that read similar to a pull tab and i decided to dig and from a depth of about 7 inches I pulled out My first Flying Eagle cent 1858. To bad its toasted but ill take it anyway. Thanks for looking and HH.

COGRATS ON SOME GREAT COINS!
 
Wow, you're into a great spot. Keep it up !!!

It is rare to see a flying eagle come out of the ground that's not toast. At least you can get an ID and date off of yours.

Good luck on getting your third Seated dime.

I wouldn't try cleaning it to much, looks great just the way it is! Congratulations.
 
Ammonia will usually help with the black crud without making it shiny.

Nice bunch of coins, you have a great spot :icon_thumright:
