Deus 1 - Target ID Numbers For Flying Eagle Cents ?

E-Trac-Ohio · Jun 26, 2023

Hi Guys, Wanted to ask ...
I only ever found one F.E. Cent - years ago - with my E-Trac.
What Target ID #'s are you getting on Flying Eagle Cents with the Deus 1 running in 18 khz ?
Thanks & Good Hunting !

Wave it over the coil and see is my only thought if you still have it.
Being a composition of 88.0% copper 12.0% nickel they'd be a different number
The nickels are a 75/25 mixture, so I would say something between an older penny and a nickel for a number.
I have only one also-and it would be where? :laughing7:

It's in a coin flip in my album - yes, I'll pull it out and air test it - just wanted to see what others had to say.

On the E-Trac Indians would normally come in as - FE-(12) & CO-(34).
The Flying Eagle I found came in as a solid -FE-(12) & CO (28).
Believe it or not ... when I got the hit, I said to myself if this target is a coin it's a Flying Eagle Cent.
It was - down 5" or 6". Only one I've ever found and I called it before I dug it - pretty cool !

I have only dug one also, and with the E-Trac.
