Day 4 hunting field across the street- first flying eagle + more old coppers!

[djabend]

Got in another evening hunt in the hay field, still hunting around the well.
Sorry, but I did not bring my camera with me this time, so no pics of them in the ground
Found a flying eagle penny, my first It looks like a 1858, hard to tell.
Before I could tell what it was, I was confused why a penny was giving a +30 VDI :P
Got another braided hair large cent,1851.
Then popped a plug on a +75 VDI to see a gold colored coin, some merchant in the 1850s played a mean prank on me.
Cleaning it off, it turns out to be a New York hard times token.
Dug a very crusty large cent not date that I can see yet (I thought for a brief second oh look another crappy braided hair, then had to remind my self that its not every day someone can dig up a large cent of any kind)
Last I got a + 90 VDI and I was thinking come on big silver.
Nope, a large copper, larger then a large cent in fact, so I will call it a larger cent
Its a 1837 Canadian bank token one penny, Sweet! That's 2 in the last week ( the last one was a 1844 half penny)
Here are the coins not too much detail on them, this field eats copper



Here is the a pic of what the Canadian coin looks like in better condition.


and one of the token


and lastly a whatsit
A metal smoking pipe? Feels heavy like lead.

Some very excellent finds. I wish I had a field across the street from me that I could search. Your last photo does appear to be the bowl off of an old pipe, so I believe that you are right. Keep at it, you have a gold mine there. WTG

Nice finds I think the last picture is an ancient bong!

You have been on a coppa roll recently, Donny Boy! That hay field is producing like a gumball machine.

Keep on a sweeping at that farm, buddy.

I have found a metal pipe bowl before, Victorian I think.

Wish I could find a flying cent. WTG

Thanks for all the replies, it will be a sad day when this field stops producing. I hope it pops up a sliver or 20 before then
I got a date off the real crusty large cent be examining the crusty patina closely
1853 - Can you see it?
