Back to the honey lot. Sterling and flying eagle

[Turbo21]

Since I pretty much cleaned out the house 2 doors over. Figured time to go back to the vacant lot and slow it down. Pulled 1 wheatie

Sterling salt shaker lid. (Acid test confirmed)

Cool old advertisement bell for squirt

Train tootsie toy


An escapade supper club keychain. Kinda weird lol


And best find of the day was an 1858 flying eagle cent. This is my first fe. Taking it real slow on the cleaning. Some nice detail left on the eagle. I can't wait to see what pops up next!!












And here is the lot I have been working

Congrats on your first FE... and a nice one at that. I was lucky enough to locate my first last month. I bet you were excited when you figured out what it was... I know that I was. Best of luck to you!

Make sure you are carrying and get out before dark. Because the spot is in the middle of the ghetto lol

Thanks. Was super excited. Thought it was a fatty at first. But when I saw the wings I popped it right in my mouth to give it a quick cleaning lol

Excellent hunt, , that Flying Eagle is in great shape.
Most have very little detail left after being in the ground for so many years.

Thanks guys. It's awesome when other tnet members share their sites
Jeremy (jerv3) put me on this site because he knows I have been struggling to get decent places to hunt. We are trying to meet up and clean out this lot on Monday. So hopefully I can post a bunch more keepers afterwards

The neighbourhood doesn't look all that bad.

I would say about 60% of the homes in that area are abandoned and boarded up. Very shady place
