hey there fellow metal detector people...
i got a real nice surprise today..
i was cleaning up my recent finds.
thought one was a token..
real smooth and round. it had a brown patina.
i took an sos pad to it..still couldn't tell what is was.
i put it in a salt and lemon mix for 2 days..
scrubbed it again...
here is what i found...
i think it's an flying eagle cent..
this is my second top bucket list find, after a gold coin of course..
i did find a pretty cool tie tac.?
and a bicycle badge?
any info on these would be appreciated..
thanks for looking and happy hunting...
OWG....

i took an sos pad to it ???
 
yes i did..it was smooth and crusty
 
Yours to do with as you wish, only limits are common sense.
 
common sense i have..what would you have done with this find???
i do know how to pick and choose on my finds and results i feel comfortable with.\and yes i over cleaned some things
 
I never understood why when people post there finds they have to be assaulted by everyone who doesn't like what they did to a coin or they rubbed it to hard its one of the biggest reasons i quit posting...its your coin, your find, do with it as you please and congrats that's a great find my friend

Well now you can at least see what you found, wish I was with you!! Who cares how or if you cleaned it, you found it. You know what they say about opinions...Nice finds!!

ROFL :coffee2: I've been attempted to use SOS on occasion.
I usually use a pencil Erasure.

the sos worked pretty good :headbang:

oh & are you sure your MILLRICH Thing is not a Pocket knife side ?
 
Nice find, cleaned or not...congrats
 

because of Shape, that is what I would Guess.
and I see there is/was a Millrich outfitters which appears to have sold
outdoor stuff. so it would fit as maybe a Freebie Pocket Knife
they may have given out for advertising purposes..
Of course there were Millrich Bicycles so I'm not 100% sure yet,
though Bicycle badges are usually rap around
 
would have graded MS62 if you hadn't used the SOS pad right ?

no - it wouldn't have .... I'd have done similar to try and clean and find out what it was as rubbed as it is

most excellent find
 
Keep knocking them off the list. I agree that you do with whatever you want with your stuff. Keep Swinging!!!
 
I , for one, have never had the pleasure of finding flying eagle cent. Yours is a beauty! I'm quite jealous. Congratulations on a pretty special recovery.

Would have graded as a slug without an id :coffee2:
 
Nice finds, especially the FE cent! :occasion14:
