Hello All,
I have not had a lot of time to get out in the last few weeks... so here is a group shot of the good stuff from two sites I have hunted in the last couple of weeks. The ring came out of an old house foundation last week and the FE, IHs and buttons are from another house I am hunting.... enjoy. I also found another nice squatty snuff bottle.. still soaking...
The FE is 1858, IHs are 1887 and 1903 and the Nickle is a 1943 P...

Thanks for looking..

Very cool...any information on the ring?

Well, the best I can guess is that the hose site was no longer used by the 1880s or so.. so unless it was dropped by a hunter or logger?? it is period.. it really looked solid at first but is another plated ring... in 20 years I have only dug one solid ring.. a nice little 1870s man's pinky ring...

I guess the FE is as close to the CW as you're going to get Huh ;D Nice Dig's Bud!!!!
 

Those are awesome finds, that FE is in really nice shape, one of the best I've seen on here! Congratulations! :thumbsup:

Nice finds and FE MB!!! I have never found one of them. Great coin.
 

Its always nice to see a designed Tombac as we get so many blank slickies. :thumbsup:
 

Great finds, really like the fatty, Flying Eagle penny. I have only found 4 of them in my 25 years of
detecting. I found two of them in one year. Only found one in 2008.

Really like the Gold Ring.

Thats a sweet eagel

Flying Eagle is still on my wish list. That one is nicer than any I've seen dug locally. Congrats!! :thumbsup:
 

I've only got two FE's in close to 17 years of diggin--and neither of 'em are as nice as that one.


Great Find!
